On the looking forward for 2013 blog post there was mention of new skils, however 2013 has only gained one new skill and it’s pve only(the heal skill). In the recent pvp rewards blog post there’s mention of new healing skills that will be available in pvp too. Will we ever get new utilities/elites? Do people want new utilities/elites?
I think it’s safe to assume there will be additions to each of those areas at some point.
The reason we went with heal skills first is that we actually believe this is the highest impact area for build diversity.
1) it is a small pool to begin with so adding to it increases choice by a large %
2) it sees a lot of use
3) it heals you which is pretty important
As time goes on we will also introduce traits, utilities, elites, and potentially other stuff.

Way to go, Jon…making me look bad!
Hey josh. I wrote my post before I saw yours.
Way to go, Jon…making me look bad!
Aww, don’t be such a grouch! Oh wait…
As for the new heals, I’m sure this will be good for some classes, but on my thief, I feel like I already have some of the best heals in the game. It’s going to be tough to add something that will appeal to me more than Withdraw or Hide in Shadows.
P.s. I’d rather see more Elites added than either heals or utilities.
Oh the new thief heal is going to mix some things up for sure!!!
