mysticsicness.7598 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Why does every other melee weapon in the game have this wide swooping brainless attack radius, but Weaver have to be right on top of their target to land 99% of their attacks? This would make sense if the sword had some insane damage output, but it does not, at all. Did the designers for weaver sword attacks take latency into account? Is the sword supposed to be a pve weapon (spoiler alert: it isn't)?Give the Weaver, A MAGIC BASED PROFESSION, a sword and expect them to stand right on top of their target to do damage, and with unforgiving hit detection. FAIL.Tempest was literally forced all of HOT into a support role. Now we are forced into a swap professions role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daharahj.1325 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I wholeheartedly agree, I keep swinging my sword like a crazy person and not actually hitting anyone. Dual attacks are especially problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velimere.7685 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 It is so dang hard to land certain Weaver sword skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual attacks are especially problematic. Gale Strike (Air/Earth Sword) is the worst one in my opinion because of the long wind-up with a very narrow hit box.Sadly, playing with Weaver has been one or more disappointments per day and I was really hyped for this spec (got all legendaries for it just in time for the expansion). Each skill I try, each stance I try is just riddled with huge flaws (Water Stance being my latest disappointment - and, really, I wasn't expecting much of this other than being a Signet of Restoration v0.5, just to realize it is actually a pre-alpha version).It has terrible damage with sword, terrible range, awful and uninspired traits and mostly worthless stances. All of this without offering anything new to the class - but rather just the same old rehashed formula.At this point I am thinking it might be just better letting it rest and go play some other elite specs, a lot of them seem really interesting and bring new stuff to classes. Maybe come back to elementalist at Expansion 3 or something, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowflare.2759 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Agreed with Azel 100%. Class had a great concept but the execution was a disappointment in so many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
