There’s no option for: “What specializations? Lobster’s Arch is FANTASTIC!”

Edit: When I made this post, the title did not have (specializations) in it. It was probably added in response to my statement, to clarify what the discussion was about, but I sincerely wasn’t attempting to derail so much as point out that there’s more to the patch that wasn’t covered in the poll.

Lion’s arch does look nice, but that’s not really what I’m asking here.

Meh. I can no longer play my condi/bunker ele with any kind of useful mobility boost, my condi necro is effectively dead in PvE, I am forced to take some borderline useless traits on my turret/rifle zerker and condi/rampager engis… I guess that’s it, no will to play anymore. I’m actually too tired with the game to tinker with it anymore. It was an awesome run, tho. My 300 steam games, here I come, your long wait is over…

That’s kind of like how I feel. The traits feel forced and doesn’t allow for much flexibility in builds.

Same, build diversity has gone down. Traits seem forced now. Classes are now weaker(except mesmer) in solo play than what they were pre-patch, but large group DPS has gone up significantly due to the new condition caps. Everything just feels so bland now. It’s more group play oriented with less accountability for individual skill. I have no desire to play at the moment.

This is exactly how I feel.

I like them.

I actually feel really flexible right now,without the stats being tied to traits etc…really nice.

i like the new system, however it’s overshadowed by the fact that they autobuilt 50% of my characters into total nightmares when they coulda just given us a blank slate.
