Guild Wars 2

You need to make these two more distinguishable from each other. I can never tell which is which, and I have to mouse over a person in party to see which class they are. I never have to do that with other classes, I can tell right away what their symbol is.

How’s that hard to tell?

I’m talking about the white symbol when someone is in your party. The Engi and Ele ones are almost identical, very similar shapes.

So in what situations do you need to tell what class a player is?
Before a Dungeon? There’s enough time to look closely for that.
During a Dungeon? Watch their Skills.
In PvP? You get hit by the skills right in the Face, it’s easy to tell then.
At open World Events? Why would you care?

Yeah, I really want Anet to work on the Taste of the Food before fixing the tooth brush to get out the bad taste.

It’s not really about when I would “need” to know the difference or not, it’s mainly about how the shape for each class should be something iconic to that class, but Ele and Engi are too similar to tell apart at times. Besides that, if I get a couple in my party then I need to mouse over them to see which they are so I have a better idea of how the party dynamic will go and what other classes we might need to be a balanced group. It’s just an annoyance that I have to manually check for those two classes, where with every other class I can tell right away what they are.
