So first of all I would like to start by congratulating ANet for an amazing work, I love everything about what I was able to test, sadly, I wasn’t able to test too much since i’m very busy at the moment and barely had 2 hours to play.

I did manage to test two Elite specialisation:

The tempest:

Feels really similar to the elementalist, which is my main profession, the overload system is pretty nice, though it kinda sucks that you can’t swap attunement after you started overloading, or you end up cancelling it yourself.

The new shouts with the exception of “Feel the burn” feel a bit week, the heal and the Elite skill rebound are kinda nice, take a while before you think about using rebound.

The Reaper:

Is just awesome, so much fun to play, everything looks pretty cool.

I would say that the greatsword feels really slow and weak, it’s supposed to be a trade off between having a really slow weapon and hittign really hard , but you actually don’t hit that hard with it.

The map looks amazing, I love the fact that as a sylvary you can hear mordremoth sometimes, had a lot to the atmosphère.

Overall I’m really looking forward to testing more.
