Guild Wars 2

This is directed at Anet, not the community.

The reason i ask is that some skills has gotten QoL changes in the past and similar skills on other weapons/professions haven’t.

What first and foremost springs to mind is ranger auto on sword, guardian third hit on auto on hammer, the blink on guardian sword and empower on guardian staff.

They all have issues like:
Awkward use in pvp on the ranger sword
Long casting time on guardian hammer auto
Mighty blow on guardian hammer actually not being a gap closer. Increased range and/or ground targeting would make it much more rewarding.
The freeze on the guardian blink which freezes the guardian in place when landing it, preventing to actually strike with the next skill if the opponent is moving away from you.
Being forced to be static when stacking might with guardian staff on the team which obviously moves while you standing there squatting.

Obviously there are more skills that needs polishing as well and these serve only as an example.

So Anet, will you also polish existing skills in HoT or have you guys moved on?

You probably won’t get a direct respons from Anet. However, seeing as Anet is quite extensively tweaking a lot of existing skills and traits I think the answer is: yes, they will also polish existing skills. For example, Anet is completely changing the Engineer’s Mortar skill, both in terms of how it works and in terms of how it looks. Other changes are things like taking the Guardian’s tomes away and giving them a signet and a shout instead and changing healing and elite skills which didn’t have a skill type before to having a skill type.

I don’t think we have heard anything about weapon skills specifically but considering so much is changing I can’t imagine weapon skills will not be touched.

Guardian staff #4 is fine.. As is hammer #1, trait for longer symbols and suddenly you can get perma protection with the hammer.

Only point i agree with you on is the ranger mainhand sword auto attack.

Hey, they already fixed necro axe #1!
