Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else feel that some of the skills are pretty much worthless? Most of the skills last 2 seconds. Some less than that. Did you get that? 2 seconds or less! One example is called I think stone anchor….causes your enemy to sink for 2 seconds. Really? 2 seconds? The skills/abilities in this game are woefully underpowered and most are completely worthless. I suggest acquired powers be beefed up….A LOT.

What annoys me most about the skills is that when you face an enemy with the same skills as you he always has it last far longer and the cooldown is alot faster. Example, you get knocked down by an NPC, 90% of the time it seems to be for 5-6 seconds, when mine lasts only 2 seconds like you say. Their knockdown cools down faster too. Now this gets VERY annyoing when you come up against a group of enemies ALL with the same said skill and they ALL just spam it on you…..

Please Anet can you give more diversity of skills or monsters in some areas where it seems they ALL are the same type or ALL have the same skills? The game gets very boring/frustrating if I am on my back for 5-6 seconds every few seconds because of lazy game mechanics….

I think the problem is that in general skills are either condition based, or power. Unless you run hybrid stats, your build variety is cut in half.

I just feel that the skills need to either be more powerful or made to last longer.

Meh not really, the combat is fast-paced, 2second of knockdown = your death.
