This truly saddens me that my main is just an after thought for anet 😞 . Guess ill wait even longerto buy Eod

1. WB have some problems but I don’t think that in perspective of game-design - they worse than DH as example.

2. But it was okey about “after thought”, when in PoF - FB is… FB? 😄 One of the best specs if not the best in PoF. Maybe other professions need some attention too, in EoD?) Like warrior, as example.

I mean I'm a little biased but please tell me how WB skills match up with the vindicator and the bladesworn. My God they are so cool and have so much utility...don't get me started on the catalyst with viable hammer skills. Looked like so much thought was put into these other specs except WB. It was like they forgot about Guardian and was like oh we'll just make it supper mobile (kinda) and no one will notice. I could possibly be the only one who feels like this. Please tell me I'm wrong?

Lol, most elementalist mains despise Catalyst, and rightfully so. Have some awareness outside of your own class.

Bladesworn and vindicator aren't so bad. Some tuning is needed sure, but I see much more positivity here than I do for WB. WB performs best when you swap out almost everything the spec brings to the table like utilities and the OH sword.

i agree with the numbers, it can be changed easily the idea behind the class is good but the mechanics needs more

[Trevvster.6938]

the funny thing is some of the ideas i proposed im seeing in bladesworn and catalyst

First off like I said before hand I'm biased,  so naw I don't care about other classes tbh. Like we're on the Guardian forum...what did you expect lol. I'd gladly take that hammer elite specialization and you guys can have dual swords for ele.

Ya ppl were really calling out Anet for favoritism until it came and they were like oh ok at least it's trash lol.

Some people in here need to try a Catalyst before talking... Then they will thank Anet for "not putting the same work into Willbender"....

Arena are just short of funds to create this expansion. Pity.
All of the elites, there is really nothing much to be impressed.
Recycle of old animation with very very minimal new animation created.
Don't see much passion in it.

The expansion will only looks appealing to first timer player while most veteran players are immune to it.

Yeah because everything looks good with cheats, max buffs and 0 cooldowns. In reality every spec is clunky and every spec is underpowered except Harbinger and Bladesworn.

Not entirely sure but it's unanimous that WB needs a buffed and the skills self roots fixed. Probably the worst out of the lot of em, so far at least. From returning players to streamers, all think this yall are the minority....🤷🏾‍♂️

This is where you're wrong. The class is just awkward to play. It has a ton of aftercasts which just makes it impossible to actually follow up any of your damage. 

What does an f1 charge accomplish if you have a second and a half aftercast before the hit actually occurs?

Vindicator getting +240 power and healing power while over 50% HP on a trait is a massive punch to the gut when willbender can only get one of those on a single trait and has to pay a hefty trade off to have the honour of doing so.

What is the reasoning behind these traits trade offs when no other class seems to have them?
