As someone who was looking forward to playing Vindicator from it's original concept of alternating legends with skill use I can say that I feel it had gone well off the tracks from that to a AoE dps role that couldn't; to a Heal Support role that almost can. (OK I'm no comedian that's the best I got off the cuff) I still wish there was a way to hit a F key to go back to the original concept, but that ship has long sailed. I'm not even sure what they want to do with this elite spec now. It's got to be a nightmare to balance with the split legends in competitive play, so my sympathies there. But I'm honestly not sure what the creators want this spec to be at this point. It's really up to them because they keep changing it. As for poor Herald? Clearly it's still paying penance for being strong for this long in large group play. Centaur stance & Salvation are intriguing, but I personally have no interest in playing a Rev healer. That's not why I picked up this class to begin with so I have nothing constructive to say about that.

Well I just tested out Spotter, and it's pretty much useless. No point in taking this trait ever again. I've also tested out OWP and Leader of the Pack, very underwhelming. I don't even need to look at ARC dps to see how badly this has been nerfed. Pretty much no point in ever taking this GM trait again, as for OWP itself? I have to say it's going to be hard to slot now itself.. unfortunately there isn't much else to pick for DPS in PvE but for PvP this sort of kills the spec. WvW it remains sorta useful, but clearly nerfed hard and when I pick it; it will be for MEH reasons more than anything else. I haven't dug into Hammer changes yet, but what I desire in Hammer is some frikkin SMASH sound fx and sensation of IMPACT when I hit with it. Right now it feels like I'm mostly doing a baton dance.

Deep.

Don't listen to that OTHER gio guy.. he has no idea what he's talking about. lol

And then I find this thread right after posting: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/studio-update-world-restructuring-and-the-future-of-world-vs-world/

I'm sure many of your customers can translate the use of the word 'aiming' means this is still in some phase of the dev cycle and although a public release about it is just not ready yet you really want to get something out on this if it's possible and as a gesture of good intent, or something along those lines. I understand that, but I suppose I posted this for those that don't. Every day an update on this is delayed continues to burn social currency with your fans & player base thou, so if there is any way we (your fans and customers) can assist in greasing this track please let us know?

This video from 2017 shows the longbow with no string at all, so it may have been fixed by making it visible the entire time? Might be tied to how bowstrings work on models.. or old weapon models. I think in a perfect world it would show when wielded not all the time. I hope they can update some of these old weapon and items models to be more dynamic like the new ones. *edit scratch that, this video from earlier shows it there all the time. So might be a bug or tied to a specific graphic setting?

Obligatory I died in a PvP / WvW zone! PLEASE NERF WHATEVER KILLED ME. I'm too good of a player to possibly ever die! SO THEY MUST BE OP! NERF THEM!
