Yes, GW had amazing PvP, it should keep that formula.

They should keep the formula but increase it to 10 or 12 skills at once. Since in most MMOs you have like 30+ skills at your disposal at any time, 8 is a bit limited.

Yea 8 always pissed me off. It was almost nothing.

Uh, the skill limit is what made the PvP good, picking and counter-picking builds.

this

it actually gave you a choice in PVP as to what skills you needed in what match, made you think

I liked that system

+1 The strategic thinking you have to put into your build made the game more fun.

It adds strategy BEFORE the mtach but once you're actually IN the match you don't have a lot of choices. You've pretty much chosen your game plan and are forced to stick with it because you have so few options at your disposal. A lot of interesting but limited use skills are rarely used because it's not worth giving up one of your precious few skills slots for them.

Most people just stick with a hand full of power builds for PVP.
