Guild Wars 2

We got the new ammunition mechanic but i havent seen any interaction with barrier on core classes. Does anyone kbow if we get a new balance update with the expac or before?
Or do we only can consider that barrier is scourge an weaver only atm?

I’m just guessing,

I seriously doubt they are going to use barrier alot. It would be ESO levels of 1v10 face tank bunkering. Over time they might fill in a few spots where barrier is appropriate (endure pain, sos, and such) but it’s likely going to be a see how this turns out first kind of deal.

Wait, where did you see the barrier mechanic in action? I thought the new elite specs could not be previewed? I’m confused.

Also, I assume it’s profession specific, just like only Mesmers can create clones.

Before the beta weekend there was a E-spec showcase of woodenpotatoes, aurora peachy and bog otter on twitch.
It is not profession specific. Necro e-spec and Ele e-spec will both get it and woodenpotatoes stated that he got the information that ele will get barrier on core class in earth attunement.

Oh, okay. I tuned out early during those showcases, because I find WoodenPotatoes’ endless fanboy monologues quite tiresome.

By the way, I have not seen that “ammunition” update anywhere in-game when I switch to bows or pistols. Where do I have to look?

It’s not actually a bows/pistols thing, bizarrely enough. It’s more for ability charges — check Mesmer Mantras for samples, I believe.

Axe 3 and kick for warrior have the new ammunition thingy. I would call them charges though.

Lol can you imagine the LB ranger tears if force into arrow stacks, Lmao 1 gold per barrage.

It is not related to firearms, just a different system to prevent spamming single skill while avoiding to put everything on the timeout.

Elementalist – Arcane Blast, Arcane Wave
Engineer – Personal Battering Ram, Rocket Boots
Mesmer – Mantras
Guardian – Spirit Weapons
Necromancer – Lich’s Gaze
Thief – Distracting Daggers
Warrior – Throw Axe, “On My Mark!”, Kick, Throw Bolas
