Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been playing GW2 since it’s release. Due to Uni and work commitments, I’ve only logged a paltry 200 or so hours. But my problem is this. I’m getting bored, I’ve been running a guardian for almost the entire time, and as you know GS + Sceptor/Staff, is one of the better options (I have tried hammer, hated it).. I’ve been pulling off the GS combo, countless times, and I really want more variety.
Note: In the following I refer to the great sword, but there is no reason it should be limited to just that
I would like to see different versions of great swords, maybe just different stances such as defensive, offensive, hybrid etc.. you get the idea. Something to break up the repetition.

I can predict a few devil’s advocates.. Some will say No Great Sword is balanced, no change needed. Balanced maybe, but that’s not my complaint.

Others will say roll a new character.. I don’t want to, I shouldn’t have to. there shouldn’t be a class that is more boring to play than the others.

Other options include New virtues, or new slot skills beyond the paltry number that we have available (For all classes, not just guardian). More choice. The party line that the developers pushed was that you can play guildwars your way.. Well I want a tanky support that does more than bloody fire damage.

This would be a big update, hell I wouldn’t mind if it was in the expansion. It would go a long way to convincing me to buy it if I knew it wasn’t going to just be another 100 or so hours of the exact same gameplay.

Please ArenaNet.. Please introduce some change

I see where you are coming from. Anet said that they wanted to reduce the number of skills from traditional MMO’s, but make every skill feel useful. I do think that they did accomplish this, and I do applaud their efforts on making all skills useful. Altough, I think they could have added quite a few more skills than they did. I would love to see 2 choices for each 1-5 skill, meaning that the number of 1-5 weapon skills would be doubled, but hey, it’s Anet…they are good at pulling off awesome updates

Yeah I see what you’re saying. They are useful, and I wouldn’t want it to turn into the mess that games like WoW can be with 60 odd keybindings or so. I like the 10 skill setup, I just want more options, and more useful slot skills, such that I’m not forced into a selection if I want to be useful
