Guild Wars 2

Sooo.. what happened to how elite specs with a new offhand weapon gets an upgrade to their class mechanic (e.g. chrono gets f5) while professions getting a 2handed weapon get a replaced profession mechanic (e.g. reaper loses death shroud for reaper’s shroud).

Well, that kind of went away with the Daredevil, did it not?

Edit: kittening filter.

This “symmetry” does not matter; the (potential) problem is that Druid is the first class with two irrelevant class mechanisms.

Actually, I think the healing and pet may work well together. If we start spamming heals, the pet will still be in there fighting, giving us more damage than any other class would get if they were spamming heals. And if we DO spam heals, that just makes it easier to keep the pet alive, right? Even solo, we’ve always got the pet with us, having more heals to keep it alive may be a good thing.
