Guild Wars 2

This is just my brief feedback on the BETA testing over the last weekend. I created two characters. One, a Human Male Reaper and a Sylvari Revenant of which I will focus on the Revenant staff skills. First, I primarily play in the World vs World Segment and I feel that the staff weapon should be used as a range weapon and not a melee weapon. Overall, I felt that the staff weapon was very weak with low damage on weapon skills.

1. Skill-Rapid Swipe, Forceful Bash, and Rejuvenating Assault: WHAT? Totally useless, all over the place, most of all, weak. I am not going to be that close to human (PC) targets in order to swipe them in a WvW environment. Next I definitely will not utilize my staff to bash someone or something, as I will use a shield for that. Lastly, the Rejuvenating Assault? Hello, is this a Cleave or a Heal? One or the other, not both and very low damage. This really sucks. Come on! You guys can do better than this. Resolution: The ‘Staff Weapon’ needs an overhaul from melee skill-set to a more range like skill-set, like a staff weapon should be and needs greater damage to it. Skills #2, #3, and #4 alike as well. I found the Staff Weapon very useless. Hammer on the other hand, I felt was a great addition to the Revenant.

Very sincerely and respectfully,
