Guild Wars 2

Look, I don’t want simple combat like other MMOs.

and I love the GW2 combat system, in general.

But is the current intricate complexity just too much? All the interactions between fields, conditions, short-term immunities, temporary buffs, temporary invulnerability, quarter-second debuffs, quarter-second buffs.

It just seems pointless to the main combat interactions and strategies.

It’s a GREAT basic system. We don’t need all the little junk to clutter the screen and our displays.

They made it even more braindead as time went on, forcing people to rely on static passive that nibbled at player skill’s discrepancies.

And, I should add, do all these little buffs and debuffs make any real difference?

combo fields absolutely do. as do all the buff & debuffs from traits.
