Im confused by what u mean "gameplay doesn't change". It's rotations etc etc aren't identical to reaper core or scourge?. The physical gameplay does change. Unless Ur gonna say well the core weapons do the same stuff.... But I dunno where u would get expectation that wouldn't be the case given the fact this is the same as the prior elites.

Compared to core har is pretty similar or if you want to get technical dumbed down. The only difference is shroud doesn't act as second health bar and all you can do is basically auto attack on skills 1-3 as rotation. To me that sounds like a downgrade if anything. Hopefully the last beta was not the last iteration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything it's likely on par. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wby did anyone expect different Tbh by the sounds of it if it releases in its beta state no one will be playing it so I'd expect some changes atleast. Just like every ranger elite gets some form of a F5 transformation. Mesmers get identical shatters every round with new names. Elementalists continously have attunements dedicated to the same things. Necromancers are always throughout kept super simple go play super easy to play. Because the proffession is made to serve that purpose. So yes their rotations every round are spamming small rotations. Difficulty curves exist to allow every type of player to play.

Now just bring the other elites in line and we may actually get somewhere balance wise. Core speccs need their proper strengths and so do the elites but options.

So instead of being a form you can switch to defensively, it makes you glassier in exchange for more damage, I think this is a pretty big change in it's functionality, so I wouldn't call harbinger one of the "core+ elite specs". After 9 years of shroud face tanking....you expect necro mains to suddenly realize where the dodge button is? They will surely give Harbinger some facetanking ability....otherwise we will be able to fill up the grand canyon with those salty tears 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't compulsory it has a longbow to be functional realistically. People just want it to be longbow. Unsure to exactly wise. Dragonhunter got bow... Yet doesn't use it, why do you beleive this would change for elementalist if it got a ranged weapon?? People need to reliese. Ranged combat in gw2 no longer works, there are so many areas of the game that would need fixing before ranged combat had happened.

That's a crazy request to realistically make. Also I wouldn't rly say majority. Catalyst and to a extent untamed are the only 2 (untamed less so since it's rework) Their fine just need tidying up haha I would add Guardian elite spec to this list as well.

Ranger has been using LB for years. Just because it doesn't work in "Raids" and that whole "stacking" doesn't mean range is not valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of ranged weapons get used in WvWvW I'm aware of that. However my point still statements. It's still fixable wielding a hammer... And there's every chance they could screw up a ranged specc (virtuosos a good example of when they screw up a ranged specc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
