Guild Wars 2

@ANET:

Instead of all the different changes that you have discussed, just start with the OP spec for each profession. Tone those down, and then see how things start to play out. This constant random changing of skills is not productive. Below is the list of specs to focus on:

Warrior: hambow
Engi: Decap
Ranger: Spirit
Necro: MM
Mesmer: PU
Thief: S/P
Guardian : Bunker
Ele: Give them one that someday we can add to this list

Any of your other changes are pointless right now. The specs above need the focus.

I don’t think their changes are random; they have concise goals to warrant their alterations, however what’s the point of your proposal? It sounds like the very stigma you ascribed for ANet; random changes.

Note that I didn’t say your suggestion is bad, only your post isn’t very constructive if you can’t convey reasoning.

Sigh. I’ll explain again. Each class currently has one spec that is over the top. It does not allow for build diversity. Go ahead and pick any top team out there and tell me which is running a spec not included in my list. Why? Those specs are over the top. Sure there will be a few exceptions, but not too many.

and not sure how you think toning down OP specs is random.

Edit: Actually nevermind. It seems you are running one of the specs that I criticized. That explains why you don’t like my list.

I never said I don’t like your suggestion/list, in fact I anticipated this kind of retort and rejected that premise in my earlier post to avoid this discussion.

FYI: I’m taking a break at the moment (possibly indefinitely), but I used to play a static discharge variant on my Engie for several months, and I can prove it, but that’s beside the point.

We have a conclusion.

This was part of what my first post was hinting towards. Now all you need to do is list points of reason which support this idea, granted, everyone agrees build diversity is a good thing in the first place (which they should/probably do).

Apologies — if I offended you earlier.
