DonArkanio.6419 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hey there,In GW2 there are 4 (5 if we count Mesmer and shatters) classes that use some kind of a resource in order to empower their abilities or simply use skills. Other classes have no resource and depend only on their cooldowns. I think both concepts have ups and downs. CD-only system allows you to play more freely, while CD+resource system requires more management (which can be fun).These are:Warrior - Adrenaline empowers your F skills (Berserker requires Adrenaline to access the mode)Necromancer - Life Force allows you to transform and gain new abilities (Scourge uses Life Force to use Shades)Revenant - Energy is used whenever you use a weapon or utility skill (Herald utilities are an exception)Thief - Initiative is used as a weapon-skill resource. Thieves have no CDs on weapon skillsMesmer - Shatter uses clones to empower your F skillsShould every class have a resource? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I voted for yes but meant to vote no.Not only would this cause a whole bag of balance issues in a game already plagued by balance issues it would also take away some of the uniqueness other classes have that do use a resource.

Master Ketsu.4569 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 It's not necessary. The point of having some classes with a resource and some without is to appeal to two different kind of players in terms of the kind of combat they enjoy. If you look at the cooldowns of classes that have to watch a resource and classes that do not, the cooldowns are always higher on the no resource classes. This is because some gamers are better at watching cooldowns and some have more fun managing energy and would rather have shorter CDs. If you got rid of one system and forced everyone to play the other, a lot of those players would just quit the game instead which solves nothing.

alain.1659 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Yes. I would love to see what the heck devs would do for balance if they try to apply this idea. Pure chaos :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
