Josif.2015 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Both Spellbreaker and Holosmith have destroyed the reputation and image that the professions had.When you think about a warrior profession, you think of a high damage dealing gladiator, someone who's an expert with so many different weapons. Landing an Eviscerate as a core warrior is one of the most satisfying things to do when you play the profession as well as seeing those high critical damage numbers. Now we have Spellbreaker, a specialization that takes everything that makes the warrior what it is away. It turned the warrior into a coward that uses a bubble as a crutch to daze enemies because they can't be bothered to learn when to time their Eviscerate. It's bad enough that they have lots of sustain with Full Counter forcing players to not hit them so that they don't take damage, but they need yet another way to proc Adrenal Health. "But Spellbreaker is good for removing boons!", yeah sure, meanwhile the thief around the corner shouts: "That's my job, a**hole!". Stealing boons isn't a warrior's job.As for Holosmith... sigh if you know me, you'd realize how much I despise the specialization. It turned the engineer from an intelligent inventor, one who is prepared for nearly any combat situation, having a little bit of everything to help out allies into a bumbling idiot who swings his weapon without a care in the world. All of the kit knowledge, all of the cooldown memorization, swapping from one kit to another, wasted, gone. The Holosmith is basically ArenaNet flipping off the people who played engineer even before elite specializations were introduced. "What's that? You've spent hours, days, weeks and even months and years playing with kits and memorizing cooldown rotations in order to be good? Well, too bad because now we have this specialization that throws all of the hard work you did to be good as engineer into the trash can." Also in the 28th of August balance patch, they nerfed Thermal Vision, further proving that they hate core engineer and they don't want it to be good in PvP and even in PvE.

BadMed.3846 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Repaer, scourge, chronomancer, mirage, druid etc etc. All elite specs took us away from core classes. That's the direction in which the game is heading. Who knows what these classes would even mean going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warkind.6745 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Back in my day we couldn't jump, dual classed, and didn't have a bar dedicated to dodging painful things like Full Counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
