Agree. The story costs huge resources to create but 1) it's not fun (actually it straight-up sucks) and 2) it's minimally replayable.

Funny that all of the 😕 votes occurred in US time, of course americans think guns belong in a magic/fantasy game on a magic class :rollseyes: :sigh: Agree that pistol is a poor fit for Elementalist.

I also hate it. Hated it so much I refunded my pre-purchase of EOD. No regrets.

No way I'm buying either while it's in such bad shape. I liked harbinger during the betas but not worth buying an expansion for 1 elite spec.

More than 55% of players think Catalyst is "bad" or "terrible". More than 60% of players think Hammer is "bad" or "terrible". If that's not clear and actionable feedback, I don't know what is.

Hammer shouldn't have been melee. Noone wanted a Sword v2.0 but that's what they made. Stupid.

This was called out during the betas multiple times months and months ago but no changes were made. I don't think they care what players think.

Catalyst IS horrible. It was so bad in beta I asked for a refund on my EOD pre-purchase. From what I have heard from my Ele friends, it was a good decision.

Agree. The spec is really bad. No enthusiasm to play.

I still can't believe the same team that brought us the original and brilliant D/D Ele is the same that is just about to give us the pedestrian and totally redundant hammer Ele. How can a design team miss the mark by so far? Another melee weapon, a dull one at that, when the only 2 ranged weapon options have been around for 9 freaking years. Ok the weapon sucks, BUT: the profession mechanic is dull AF, the traits are unoriginal and uninspiring, the utilities are boring... the entire spec is just crap. Signed, bitterly disappointed Ele main.

QFT

looking at main-hand weapons... Ele: melee (3): dagger, sword, hammer ranged (2): staff, sceptre Necro: melee (2): dagger, greatsword ranged (4): staff, sceptre, axe, pistol Mesmer: melee (2): sword, axe ranged (4): staff, sceptre, greatsword, dagger -------------------> Ele is a majority melee class now :wtf: :boggle: :ohgodwhy: <---------------------

100x this. This is why hammer really needed to deliver something new not a slightly different, pure-PVE version of dagger/sword. Total. kittening. garbage.

It's too early to tell but I think they seriously missed the mark with fishing and skiffs. I could not care less. Also, speaking of things that wildly missed the mark: Catalyst hammer. What the kitten is that kitten. Who the hell thought Ele needed another melee weapon?

I think the traits are pretty boring and don't change the playstyle but it's really hammer that is the true trash. Mixed melee/600 range was a dumb idea. Plays like crap.
