Which class has changed the most?
Possibly Mesmer but I don’t think any profession has really ‘changed’ that much. Just which builds work ‘the best’ has changed. (Unless you go back to BWE1, then there’s been some pretty massive changes since then but you said launch and beta was beta after all.)
You’re very unlikely to ever see massive changes to any profession in a few months. That’s just not the way Anet does things generally. It’s lots of little changes over a long period of time.
Yeah I played Guild Wars for four years so I know how A-Net rolls. I couldn’t find anything anywhere regarding my topic though. I appreciate the reply!
What happened with the Mesmer?
Also, I remember there being some major changes coming to the Ranger. What did those end up being?
Yeah….ANet really takes it’s sweet time about balance changes.
I mean it’s commendable in a way because a lot of people find excessive changes off-putting. But then again without challenging PvE content there’s no need to heed all that much attention to PvE balance.
PvP balance on the other hand does need a lot of changes as there’s a huge gap between professions and builds. And these can’t be addressed by small and nuanced changes. They require so impactful changes at the right places.
We’ve been playing essentially the same game over the past 6 months and it’s getting stale. Adapting to constant changes is what keeps an MMO exciting.
Engineer. Recently, the Engineer has lost a lot of damage in order to compensate for their ability to use Sigils with Kits. Before that, the Engineer is general has seen the biggest change in terms of direction and design since Beta. That’s probably why many people consider the Engineer to be stuck in limbo as far as usefulness is concerned.
