Guild Wars 2

So in the end I gave out and got HoT. Went into spvp tried elite specs a bit and morale of the story is short – they’re not named elite for nothing. Normal trait lin…erm…“specializations” can’t compare.

And with that comes the realization that something is seriously missing here.
That something is the base elite specialization.

The ones who did not buy x-pac have nothing that can be deemed comparable to elite specs, it’s the cold hard truth. What should’ve been is much like masteries that are divided between old Tyria and Heart of Maguuma, there also should be base elite specs for old Tyrians and new, alternative ones with HoT, that will give you alternative option to put into that elite specialization slot.

Yeah i realize that money, development time, business etc etc. But it’s still unbalanced and i will take a jab at that even if it’s never addressed.

It’s true. They broke thieves’ traits for Acrobatics. They gave it back to us for HoT specialization. For the thieves who do NOT have daredevil trait … well I don’t know any thieves that still play w/o daredevil.

Yeah, I don’t see the point in playing SPvP without HoT, so I don’t plan to. It’s sad, really. I’d just gotten involved in PvP over the past year and was having fun with it.

Yeah, thinking about it adding base specializations for core game would be do-once solve for all time justice.

After HoT no one who has it can complain that new set of specializations that comes with xpac is unfair, because they already have an elite specialization set from HoT. So it’s one elite vs the other, batttle of equals.

But currently it’s HoT specialization’s vs regular ones for those who did not buy and that’s not a fair contest.
