I’m not going to really go into too much detail, assuming most of you will know what I’m talking about. As we all know how the combat works in GW2, I feel that it lacks a “personality” in a sense. I feel as though there’s not much of a threat system (or any for that matter, correct me if I’m wrong), and not very many skills that can greatly affect how a battle plays out. I know there’s the combos, etc, but it still lacks that certain thing.
If we compare GW2 to WoW, you can see a clear difference in battle outcomes and effects skills can have on the entire outcome. One skill used at the exact right time can greatly change the battle in a positive or negative way, as well as the Threat system where someone can increase their threat to pull enemies off of a squishier team-mate, so the DPS focused players can deal massive amounts of damage.
In conclusion, I think there should be some skills tweaked or just all new skills introduced to each character that has a greater impact on the encounters as opposed to just everyone splitting off and attacking everything for the sake of doing as much damage as possible; seems a little repetitive after awhile (still fun, but lacking).
No one needs to agree with me, this is merely my opinion and completely open for criticism and additions!
