Medium Armour Classes

XD OP just wants the Druidd to be posted so he can have a field day in the Ranger forums telling every new thread how ranger still sucks XD (for those who don’t know, this guy trolls the ranger forum, he is on almost every thread with a simple message said in many ways: Ranger is bad)
Probably it’ll be ranger last as we know the most of the 3 and have had some details the longest, thinking engi 2nd to last for similar reasons. Though they might put thief just to build the tension XD
I just wanted to point out that the order of release could’ve been better done. I’ve never been on the Ranger forums, and I don’t know ranger well enough to say how good or bad it is.

Like how ? every class you switch for another for release will have someone waiting. There is no better/worse, just different.
I get inside things, not on things Gray. That’s how I roll. =P
Its makes sense to me tbh, give tidbits to those who have to wait the longest so they have a greater chance to prepare and earn the needed skins while they hunger for more info. What kind of order are you thinking then?

Revenant, as pointed out above, would have left far, far fewer people waiting.
and the three armour classes do have a reasonable amount in common, meaning each leans towards a different playstyle. as such, people of one playstyle might be interested in any member of a given armour class – a lot of people might play elementalist and mesmer, for example. these people would’ve been happy with the reveal of a single profession from that armour class, while the medium-armour playstyle has had no such reveals.

I agree with Revenant.
But the rest of your statement… The big thing in common is that they have the same armor points. A Necro does not play like an ele does not play like a mesmer. Even if they did, the specializations are supposed to evolve a class sidewise, why would you assume that they would all evolve the same way sidewise just because their armor is the same?
(arguments could be made for ranger thief warrior similarities though imo, but thats cause ranger is kind of intermediate between the other two)

well someone who likes to tank damage passively will likely enjoy Warrior and Guardian both.
someone who likes to use a more active defence style will likely enjoy mesmer and elementalist more.
And people who think greatswords look neat would like new necro, guardians, warriors, rangers and mesmers.
An elementalists active play style relies on very different mechanics than the mesmer, mesmer is a lot closer to thief due to relying on evades and stealth. Elementalist uses movement and heals. (edit: yes this is stupidly simplified from the actual situation, and for that I am sorry)
And still, the whole evolve sideways thing means (if it actually hits that head on) that in theory any of the classes might end up being your new favourite combination of abilities, armor really is irrelevent.
And HP is better than armor. And hp division is pretty spread out. Why not focus on HP levels for these kind of theories (maybe they did the armor because each armor class has an even division of hp, so to insure hp levels spread evenly they took armor as division) [edit: Maybe they did it based on user scores, heavies and lights used more than mediums, they come first? So we’ll drip some info for the mediums in the beginning so they don’t feel too bad. Who knows, it could just be weird that it ended up that way and have no strange plot behind it]

again, I don’t think, and never thought, that there’s any kind of plot behind it. I just would’ve preferred a different order. (gotta feel sorry for rangers, they’ve been waiting for more info on druid since day 1)
I didn’t mean to imply you did, sorry, it was more referring to my own build up theory.
Besides revenant last, I just don’t see how the order matters much, someone is going to get screwed as mentioned before, whether its you or someone else its just chance. I would have preferred it wasn’t drawn out myself, as it would prevent feelings like this in general, but they have to pretend this thing is big.

No, he wouldn’t. That’s just your speculation based on nothing. Everyone who wants to main or level Rev is pretty hyped now and was pre-showing too.
I main engineer and you don;t see me complaining about being left out. I don’t mind engie being the last tbh.
