Pet project for creating a randomized pool of skills (a sealed deck) to create builds from.
Use it here: https://chrisschek.github.io/gwskills/
Heavy inspiration taken from this similar tool: https://gwrandomizer.com/
Philosophy: Blacklisting skills is mostly for exceptionally strong skills that provide value unconditionally. Since "meta" hero builds tend to abuse these kinds of skills the most (eg. mesmers), blacklisting is better off focusing more towards hero builds than player builds. Player builds tend to rely more on synergies between skills (ie. "conditionally strong" skills), so the random nature of the sealed deck will tend to "break" meta player builds anyways.
Always ban: Meta-defining, unequivocally strong skills
