[ Feature Packs | GuildWars2.com ]

その中の第一弾としてトレイトシステムの変更がアナウンスされました。

[ Traits Unleashed: Forty New Traits and More! | GuildWars2.com ]

ざっくり機械翻訳で読んだだけですので詳細は違っているかもしれませんが

・トレーニングマニュアルの購入が不要になる
現在は既定のレベルと共にトレイト関連のNPCからトレーニングマニュアルを購入しなければAdept, Master, GrandMaster の各Tierをアンロックできない。
今後はマニュアルが不要になりそれぞれLv30,Lv60,Lv80で各列が自動的にアンロックされる

・トレイトポイントの減少も可能になる
現在の仕様ではトレイトポイントを増加することだけができて、間違って多くポイントを振ってしまうと再度リセットが必要でした。

・トレイトの設定がいつでも可能になる
ポイントの増減できる仕様にともない、戦闘中以外でトレイトの調整が自由になる模様。
原文でもGW1を思い出すと書いてあるが、GW1も街で自由にアトリビュートの増減ができたので、あの感じになるみたい。

・トレイトのアンロック
トレイトのTierはレベルで自動的にアンロックはされるが、実際の選択できるトレイトは「トレイトガイド」のアイテムでアンロックされる模様。
トレイトガイドはジョンジョンやWvWやパーソナルストーリーやマップ開拓等々で入手できるみたい。
この辺もエリートスキルを求めて各地をさまよったGW1ライクですな。

・新規トレイトの追加
GrandMaster枠に新しいトレイトが追加。

Elementalist: Aquatic Benevolence
The elementalist is getting a variety of traits, ranging from damage and utility to survivability and support. The one we’ll introduce today is Aquatic Benevolence. This trait contains a new mechanic that will increase all healing to allies by a percentage without affecting the character doing the healing. Aquatic Benevolence has the highest of all outgoing healing effects currently in the game, sitting at a solid 25% healing power bonus when supporting allies.

Engineer: Fortified Turrets
Engineers will be getting additional support and survivability with their new turret trait, Fortified Turrets, which is part of the Inventions line. Each time an engineer with Fortified Turrets equipped spawns a new turret, that turret receives a defensive bubble that reflects projectiles for four seconds. This works with all turrets, including the Supply Crate.

Guardian: Force of Will
With the current traits available to the guardian, their Honor line has multiple support traits that heavily assist allies but have less individual benefit for the guardian. With this patch, guardians will have the option to unlock Force of Will, a trait that grants three hundred extra vitality when slotted (which amounts to three thousand health at level 80 from this trait alone). The result is a guardian that is much more durable when facing conditions and physical attacks.

Necromancer: Unholy Sanctuary
In addition to a bit of a trait line rework, the necromancer’s Death Magic will be gaining the ability to heal your health pool while Death Shroud is active. Unholy Sanctuary allows you to turtle in your Death Shroud and slowly heal yourself, granting you additional survivability in situations that might otherwise spell certain death. The healing rate of Unholy Sanctuary is the same as the regeneration boon and will be affected by healing power.

Mesmer: Power Block
Enemies of mesmers beware: they’ve learned how to mess with your skill recharge! The new trait for mesmers allows them to gain additional benefit when disrupting enemy skills. Power Block will be introduced to the Domination line and will change the recharge of an interrupted skill from 5 seconds to 10 seconds. This will not affect skills that have no recharge, but I’d imagine that stopping a necromancer from consuming conditions would surely put a nail in their coffin.

Ranger: Read the Wind
Ranger: Your arrows are swift and deadly, but in some scenarios they are not as fast as they need to be and your enemies can dodge them easily. With Marksmanship’s new Read the Wind, your longbow arrows will fire at twice their base velocity, allowing for supreme accuracy at long range.

Thief: Invigorating Precision
Thief will be gaining a new survivability trait in their Critical Strikes line with Invigorating Precision. Five percent of damage from your critical attacks will now be returned to you as healing. With this trait, you’ll be able to sustain yourself in scenarios where your base healing just isn’t enough.

Warrior: Dual-Wield Agility
Warriors who love to dual-wield will have a new option in their Arms line with Dual-Wield Agility. This trait will increase your attack speed by ten percent when wielding an off-hand axe, mace, or sword.
