Psycoprophet.8107 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Staff/gs soulbeast, may not be viable for winning fights but great mobility lol. Hammer slb could be fun. Was really hoping ranger would get off hand shield from the expac, woulda been cool to be able to run sword and board or axe shield builds.

SevlisBavles.3059 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 A further lack of immersion as the game is watered down more and more, everybody gets everything and there is less and less class identity. Also the art style of the current artists and the original game artists clash heavily. Early game skill icons look like little paintings with detail, shade, colour variations and artworks that express something about the skill, etc. EoD skill icons look like washed out uniform graphics with one or two bright colours and very generic images. 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that elite specs were a bad idea in the first place, and all new weapons, utilities, traitlines, should have just been additions to core.

Eddbopkins.2630 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Well this can be considered an evolution in the gameplay. Opens up everything to everyone. More to balance ofcourse, but the variety will creat more fun. So win lose in my book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the numerous reasons this is a horrible balance nightmare are probably apparent, but I guess every game has to end sometime. They should at the very least keep it out of sPvP because there is no possible way they rebalance all skills not to tie to e-spec in a month. Meaning for me, as a ranger main, there is zero chance they revamp hammer to something meaningful that doesn't rely on Untamed specific items like the ambush and the flip skills. They will also most likely half kitten it so that pets control isn't opened up to all specs even though the weapons are... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not fair when most elite spec weapons are not tied to profession mechanics while few are tied tightly to their profession mechanics like Holosmith's sword, Weaver's Sword, Mirage Axe and Untamed Hammer. Unfair advantage I'd say? Also all Elite specs first Minor Traits need replacing right? This whole thing feels like a balance nightmare to me where we will surely get things like Scourge and Vindicator trait restrictions to water it all down or risk a chaos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trait will still be giving the mechanic, just not the weapon anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I haven't cared about it at all since today's patch hit. Things are so funked up right now the game full-broken. What I'm looking forward to, is Arenanet owning up to a huge mistake and just reverting the 6/27 patch completely back to the way things were before, and redoing a new patch that makes sense, later. Little hotfixes aren't going to save this one. They need to revert it fully. I called it out in a different thread man. I said it would be the worst patch we've ever had, the one that would kill the game, and so far it's looking like I was right. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full pet control isn't a profession mechanic, Unleashed Power is: Unleashed Power - Guild Wars 2 Wiki (GW2W) Nothing there mentions full pet control; reason I consider it half kitten is because if they are touting flexibility with this update then there is no greater than being able to actually control your pet regardless of spec. Locking that to Untamed was always the stupid part, and now insanely stupid if you can use the literal e-spec weapon everywhere.  So, I'm fine with profession mechanics staying on the actual e-spec, until they truly go for singularity and just start trying to combine e-spec functionality like some eldritch version of GW1.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downstate.4697 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 We don’t need a beta for them to understand some weapons flat out suck.  I can’t speak for every profession, but for ele sword and warhorn need buffs. Sword needs cooldown adjustments for their 2 skills and damage/range adjustments for the 3 skills. warhorn needs all of its cooldowns to be shaved by 10s each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tev.8345 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I am looking forward to all the surprised pikachu faces when people will realize (AGAIN) that Arenanet really sucks at balancing and the stupid weaponmaster thing will result in even more of chaos in the 6/27 style. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
