Intresting discussion and a lot is personal taste. I just came back after two years. I main tempest and i think always will unless some realy exiting spec is in the next expansion. Weaver did not catch me. Had been very sucessful and loved the unusual version i used. Currently too rusty to dodge in the right moment but lets see how long i need to get back into it. Beside that i hate corruping necromancers ruining my day :-). I don´t like glass cannons and to some extent condi bunkers. Both feel too one dimensional for me. I need that swiss army knife feeling and group saving gameplay. The only other class i play to a decent level is a CC warrior type used in pvp as backup runner to replace or compliment the thief.I think it´s a good example of a hybrid build that brings condi defence. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PGwAs2ZlJwWYOsGWJOSP3tfA-zZh8USQBkpEofhQCjAVNA
