Guild Wars 2

i think that if there was a rule that u can only have one profession per team in tpvp
it would be better for the game ballance .
I think that in GW2 there will be always OP or to powerfull profession -this is not a problem that u cant deal with it ,but if team use 2 OP or to powerfull professions it is
a problem to win with them ,for example now its 2 elementalist ….
u can counter it but they will always have advantage on u ,and that is not fair
next thing is that with such rule ,every profession would have more chance to be in a team
for example now 2 eles +guardian ,is really hard to kill
i think that this rule should be in GW2 ,to make this game better

Besides the Elementalist, for me personally, I see no other class that would make sense to have 2 of them. And elementalist is just working that good because of broken trait-lines.

in future there will be another class that teams will double……
2 guardians,2 mesmers ,2 rangers……..
i still think that this rule would be good for game
now its only ele , couse no one came with other ideas yet …….this game has many undiscovered paths of team playing

Ye, you’re right.
Still I think 5 different classes will be better in any way (except elementalists), due to the different abilites. And well, we play on many maps 2 guardians (bunker, dps). With this rule we would be restricted in build variation.
A really difficult topic.

Its somehow always a given to have 2 bunkers.
Whether it be elemantalist or guardian.
And i have faced many elementalists in tournament matches.
Most of them maybe 3/5 are bad.
And could not keep the ultimate rotation on making themselves
Prematurely immortal even in 2v1 situations.
All in all it still depends on the players.
But i would say the deadliest and most hard bunked elementalist + bunker guardian duo is the only comp right now is awe-fully OP

This is a TERRIBLE idea. And one of the few things which would make me quit this game.

Why should people be limited to 1 class just because the elementalist is currently OP- particularly when they can combo off each other? It is ridiculous. Just nerf the ele and its fine.

Restricted player options isnt a good thing. So what if people want to run a dps and bunker guard? They cant because the ele is OP? What about if you want a condition necro and a minion necro to bunker? You cant because the ele is OP?

it is really hard to get in a team , or create a team
if u can get 2 good eles on ur team , u will get ele instead engi or warrior
it would , get more teams to be viable in tourneys, more people could play and have chance to play
i know that some teams allready are based on double ele or double guardian

not all people play ele or guardian , some just dont like playing those profs

True. But the way to fix that is balance. Besides its generally bad players who want to be carried who require certain classes for their team.

Have played with 5 glass cannons and won some games. Although of course its way harder though lol

I don’t see any problem with people running more than one of any class. If you have two people in your team that are exceptional at a certain class, why not have them both play that class?

If a lot of teams are running two of a class then it sends a clear message to the developers that there is a problem with that class or there isn’t a good enough counter to that class. I like that the developers have a “wait and see” attitude with balancing. They allow the meta to counter problems before making rash balance decisions. Elementalist went from being super underpowered (in people’s eyes) to super overpowered with very little actually changing other than people’s knowledge of the class.

balancing this is almost imposible or will take so much time that game will die before becouse ,there will be only few good teams..
this game is to dynamic , and based on skill to get balanced so easly

or maybe u are all right ….we can wait for balance another 6 months

You would think that when you solo que and get 4 theirs on the other team it would be easy toget a win.

Apparently not so. Eles are rare compared to those little buggers all runnin around with the same google haste heartseeker spec. I only have so many dodges.

15k HS dmg in 3 hits is kind of horrendous. I’ve learnt to laugh it off now tho, cause chances are those same 4 thieves will be on my team the next round, against a team 3 thieves. The only thing better then killing a thief is watching them kill each other then one of them does a /say “lol HS spammer”.

The mind boggles.

This would be so awesome, I can stop running stupid 2 mesmer comps Which are suboptimal at best.

Oh you play mesmer too ? well I don’t know how to play any other class…. (LIES)

Seriously though.. No way, I like playing with friends and friends don’t always wanna run optimal comps..

Darnis.4056:

don’t always wanna run optimal comps..

What percentage of players play more than one class regularly?
How many teams actually say “we’re running abcde”
I always just tell people to press the buttons that make them happy. Either you do work or you don’t.

Somebody posted the EXACT same thing a couple of days ago…then it got moved to the suggestions forum and it was never heard from again. lol :P

Feels like people counter comp more then they probably do.
Everytime I setup a group I try to get as optimal a comp as I can without stepping on too many toes… Many people do the same..

Hey we have 2 eles 2mes 2 guard etc, one of you guys wanna play a different class?
If people don’t want to it’s cool but if they do then you get a better comp.. :/
If they don’t I threaten to play necro.
