Is profession reworks out of the question?

[Xxnecroxx.4039]

I am curious if a certain profession is being overall very problematic in terms of balance and the overall direction it is going is bad, would there be a possibility to rework the entire profession? because at the moment there is 1 profession that sticks out like a sore thumb... and in a bad way. unlike most other professions that are very flexible and find viability in a large range of roles and high end content. this one profession really only has 1 job and 1 job only and it is only useful in certain gamemodes. and this profession has been a problem for balance for overall MANY years because of some of the core mechanics of it. so I am wondering if it is possible for a full rework of a profession. I would even give up a content update for this rework if the manpower is needed to accomplish it. because right now and with the future balance changes it is receiving it is clear it is heading in a even darker direction than I thought possible for the class.

wrong, necro, it is basically just a boon corrupt bot in PVP/WVW and that limits its viability in PVE to next to none other than a power build that is outshined by warrior easily

Absolutely not. Reworks are indeed a priority for ArenaNet and they've proven that over the past couple of months this year. So far, we had the berserker rework, thief's trap skills being replaced with preparation skills and chronomancer having its own shatter skills. Now I know not many people are happy with some of the reworks particularly with the daredevil rework that replaced steal with swipe and the new chronomancer shatters, but elite specializations are supposed to provide a different playstyle for a profession and not something that is objectively better than the core profession. It's fine if an elite specialization is weaker than the core profession because that will provide every player, whether they're premium or free to play builds that are widely accepted in most game modes.

Ranger as a whole on the other hand is a very flexible class, useful for many roles across many types of content. It's just that many of those roles are covered by soulbeast currently.I don't see a problem with druid here.

And i main it since core launch, if you're wondering.
