Guild Wars 2

Hi Devs!

BWE 1 was great and fun and i must say that overall i’m very pleased.
I absolutley fell in love with the Reaper <3 and i’m very happy with the Chronomancer + Rev, the Dragonhunter was not my type and sadly i had no time to try out the tempest.

In detail :

Reaper: In my opinion there is nothing to improve It was fun in pvp + feeling balanced, pve was also nice. Playing the Reaper felt easy and kind of natural, i could just “dive in” if you know what i mean. Also the graphics+animations are awesome i think it will be my new main class <3

Chrono: (I only tried it in pve) Chrono felt nice too but a little difficult to play because you have to place your wells very often/a lot, so for me it was kind of inconvenient to do it with my mouse, it felt necessary to use keybings but i don’t know where to put them :/ so i suggest to add a trait that removes the (i don’t know how it’s called in english, in german it’s called bodenzielausrichtung^^) necessity to actively place the wells. Again great graphics and i like the ticking sounds

Dragonhunter: Well… I don’t know it was kind of “meh” maybe it’s just not my class so i can’t give much constructive feedback but i think you could decrease the required cast time for the traps; at least in pvp it felt too slow for active usage.

Rev: As a whole new class it was hard to test it’s full potential but you could see that it indeed has much potential i like that it’s possible to kind of specialise on something particular with each legend.

Tempest: —-

Verdant Brink: Playing the events felt pretty useless right now but that’s just natural because the lore is still missing but i liked them anyway . I enjoyed all the new enemies and their attack-mechanics (?) and i was like omg tigers <3 can’t wait to explore full map and all levels

Gliding: FUN! The usage felt natural and easy and it’s fun, the flight-duration was just right and it’s fun, did i already say it’s fun?

Map Rewards: I like it, a good way to get specific materials

Can’t wait when it’s ready

sorry for my maybe bad english, greetings from germany

Just a suggestion, but keybinding is fairly important to playing effectively.
Might I suggest trying the following:

W A S D for movement
E R F C Q for your 5 weapon skills
Shift + E R F C Q for your healing, 3 utility, and elite skills
1 2 3 4 for your profession skills (shatters in the case of mesmer)

I find those keys are pretty comfortable to use, and shouldn’t be hard to hit even with small hands.
It’ll feel awkward at first, but you get used to it fairly quickly, and in the long run you might find it easier to play that way.
