Yay! Necro buffs!

I wonder if having Daggers in both hands gives 15% movement speed... 10% for main hand and 5% for offhand.
Just add in Signet of the Locust for 10% more movement speed.
Boo ya, 25% passive movement speed?!
Do want.

Fateful Marks doesn't make much sense either.
Instead of creating new traits and deleting the old ones Arenanet seem to have edited the old ones into the new ones.
I guess they just didn't think of names for them yet.

Master Trapper would look odd. Using Banish as a guardian then seeing their pet go flying.

It's not called Master Trapper anymore. It's something else entirely. I can't remember the name however.

Are they even listening to the players at all?
The majority of these no one had a problem with and the stuff we DID they didn't touch.
At this rate their pvp will flop before it takes off.

Don't get how they've now added traits for each of the warrior's weapons that have an extra bonus as well as a cooldown reduction, whilst almost all other profession traits are just cooldown reduction for a weapon/skill type
