Guild Wars 2

Well I like a lot about the beta expansion, but there are far too many mobs and they do far too much damage. This reminds me more of a raid zone than an expansion. Is that the intention to make all the new content raid content? There just isn’t any way any class or build can solo the content especially at night. If the release is like this I’ll be looking for a new game to spend my money on, and quickly.

This is intentional yes, although they are open to tweaking diffciulty and density based on feedback. Whilst I understand the concerns, it certainly isn’t the case no class or build can solo night content. It’s just a case of adapting to new mechanics and tactics.
I struggled on my dps ele set up at first, but a few adjustments later it became much less of an issue and quite good fun.

That may be true for the ranged classes like the ele and the archer, but for melee, there’s just no easy way to deal with multiple vet’s and a half doz reg mobs at one time. I think the new content is heavily favored toward ranged and decidedly stacked against melee.

This is simply incorrect in my case, i’ve been able to do any content both on my revenant and reaper, i build my rev glass cannon rampage and while i got downed a bit more then on a tanky character, the content wasn’t really that hard or challenging at any time.

I’m having a way harder time on my ranged chars cause the tells aren’t as obvious tbh and even the melee mobs have long charges. But maybe that’s because i’m used to playing melee.
