PoF can be completed in a day with no replayability. What content?

Its been a day and i still dont have all mounts, completed story, got armors, weapons, done collections, aquired minis, titles, bags possible utilities etc. And in 2 months prob we will have a raid maybe a fractal and a lw update.

I said it
can
be completed in a day, and there are plenty of players that already have all 4 mounts, 100% map completion, and all Mastery points. Just because you like to take a month to complete the content doesn't mean the content takes a month to complete. I wouldn't call skins, minis, and titles content, either.

As for raids and a new fractal, yay for PvE players.

But skins, minis and titles are content.

That's extremely subjective. None of those alter gameplay in any way whatsoever, none of them provide a boost in combat efficiency, none of those things can be 'played.' They're just fluff.

You're never going to see Spellbreakers in raids.

You mean the game with raids so easy that you've had 10 mans made of a single class complete them, groups of 4 - 6 have managed to beat most of the "10 man" raid bosses and where a thief soloed two of the bosses...

This isn't Wildstar, you aren't forced into anything to complete the raids in this game, find a guild where people aren't suffering from the delusion that the joke that is GW2 raids is akin to playing DOTA 2 at The International, and you'll be able to play raids on nearly anything you so wish.

That's bull-honkey and you know it. The fact that a few people have managed to do that does not in any way invalidate the meta-driven nature of raids in the game at the moment. Heck, I constantly see Necros being booted purely for the sake of being Necros in raids. Constantly. I'd suspect the same would happen if a raid Commander saw a Warrior lugging dual-Daggers with them.

No it's the truth, raids are not difficult in this game and can be completed with all sorts of compositions, so if you want to play something different, find a guild that accommodates that.

You can gloat all about how easy raids are you to all you want, it won't change the reality most players face when raiding.

@Orangensaft.7139 said:it would be kind of boring if every elite spec has to be good at every possible situation...Kind of defeats the point of having a new DIFFERENT specialisation in the first place

I like it that elite specs have specific uses for specific modes or situations :)

How can people think that in 2018 ? Its your first mmorpg ?Reasons you are wrong :

  • if you play only warrior and pve, it is a huge fail for Anet to not bring you new stuff for your class
  • this is even more true if other classes have their new spec good for every part of the game. If Anet clearly states that the next elite spec of every classes is for pvp only, it will create less frustration.
  • its an mmo...RPG right ? If your character is a fallen parangon or sunspear that became a spellbreaker, you should not be forced to switch berserker when switching pve/pvp, unless you are an e-sport gamer
  • even Blizzard realized it is stupid to make forst mage and subtetly rogue only pvp spec on WoW.

To be fair, if they made Spellbreaker so good at raids then you would never see Berserkers. Metas exist and people will run them, so its not really Anets fault.

At least its great for PvP.

Who says it has to be such a binary situation? If they made Power Warrior just as viable as Condi then you'd have the choice at least. Currently there is no choice - Condi or bust for PvE.

Oh it is not just "great" for PvP - it is exclusively for PvP...

I'd say it's really only mediocre for PvP, despite being made specifically for it. I've dumpstered almost every Spellbreaker (with a few draws til someone got +1'd) I've come across as a core Warrior. All you have to do is not hit them while Full Counter is active, and you win.

That being said, making a spec only for one specific game mode is pretty kitten.

Its pretty odd, it feels way more glassy than i have ever felt warrior to be. And way weaker than im use to warrior being too. Might be my build and the fact I have to basicly come up with new rotations (which I did not have any prob with Berserker)Maybe I am focusing tooo much on boon removal, but it feels like a easily countered and downed mess.

edit: then again it does feel like I am being ganged up on 90% of the time since my team always seems to be terrible recently....

I think it feels solid,it might feel glassy because you dont stack adren hp x3 ? Remember counter resets a burst,so ideally you want to Burst > Counter > Burst swap weap > Burst.Add the protection trait and u have 3 sec protection on every counter aswell.
