Hi, I think we’re all fans of GW2’s underlying combat engine, and we see a lot of potential in the gameplay. But that potential is usually ruined by balance problems.
It would be cool if someone (who is not me), decided to run some tournaments to showcase what GW2 gameplay -could- be, if the balance was done well.
Since we don’t have modding in this game, I guess the only way is for the tournament to have a rule where players must pick from a list of allowed builds.
The community can then carefully design each allowed build for these goals:
- Equally viable as each other. (so most classes will not be using their optimal / meta builds)
- Requires active and skillful play.
- Fun to play, fun to fight, fun to watch.
What do you think would be good builds for such a tournament?
