Please have Scribing be saved through Armory!

Sallymen · March 29

I usually try out a lot of different builds on multiple characters but I feel stuck sometimes when I have to constantly change scribing skills manually for different roles or moving from PvE to PvP content. I would love for the armory system to automatically save and change scribing skills. Can have it where it spends the Luminous Ink automatically.

I also really want this. I use scribed abilities for my main when being a tank. But when I eventually go back to monoclassing for the upcoming mastery passives, I'll need those scribed abilities to fill in the gaps in my class that subclassing currently covers. As it is, scribed abilities not being saved in the armory means I can either choose to be a tank and not monoclass, or to go back to my original class but give up tanking on that character.
I think being limited this way goes against the ideals of the team.

Although I don't know if I'd want it to spend Ink each time. I definitely have more than enough ink for now, but if I'm swapping between two armory builds each day, that's a lot of ink to burn through.

I understand there were limitations saving them to the armory when scribing first came out, but it has been out plenty long enough at this point for those issues to be resolved if it was actually being worked on. Now that the armory is less valuable due to the new respec anywhere for free, saving scribed skills would add back some value.

I get that scribing was designed to require using invisible ink as a resource for changing/re-scribing any of your scribed skills. And perhaps that's why they won't add it to the armory system. (I don't recall that they ever gave an official response explaining why as I stopped caring some time ago)

But at the very least, add scribing tables to all the trial staging areas with all the other crafting stations, in Cyro/Imp Sewers alliance bases, and perhaps IA.

Or allow us to do scribing through the UI like we can do skills and attributes now

Ink has no value at this point, QOL in some form to allow saving build or change on the fly would be great.

Yeah, when I make the builds if I use a scribing skill it often includes a specific buff I am missing otherwise. And if I have two different builds saved in the armoury, I might be needing different things. I can't remember each and every buff I calculated when making the builds for all the builds for all the characters.

Even if swapping a build with armoury would cost the ink I would be ok with it as long as I can save them in the armoury. You know, I need weapon power on one build and recovery on other, so if I swap builds it would say "this will rewrite Ulfsild's Contingency and costs 1 ink. y/n?" Or whatever the total is for swapping the skills.

With the upcoming class changes, and if they add more "xxx increases depending on how many class abilities are slotted" it makes slotting non-class skills, including Scribing skills, even less valuable.

This definitely needs to happen. I am constantly creating builds, and I want my scribed abilities that I made specific to that build to be remembered in the armory for sure.

SaintJohnHM · March 30

This would be very welcome. Many of us use armoury slots for various specific builds and I have had to port out of instances to re-scribe my skills countless times because the scribed skill isn't right for that build. Huge waste of time.
