Q:
Returning Player Question
Some skills have changed a fair bit, such as the addition of Torment (a damaging condition that deals more damage if the target is moving) to some skills in place of other effects but, to my knowledge, none of the professions have changed, barring certain nerfs and buffs, to a huge extent.
I’d recommend sticking with your Mesmer, they have a lot to offer in every aspect of the game and, in my opinion, the most interesting utilities. Thief and Elementalist have been a ton of fun to level up as well, Thief for the combat mobility and Ele…well for the combat mobility as well (except on fire).
Don’t feel too put off by unchanging weapon set skills, after all in any other game you’d be stuck with them after hitting level cap anyway :P
