Guild Wars 2

I was never a big PvP’er, but it was something fun to do casually. But between how overpowered burning is, mesmers, and necros (yes, I said necros. I know some classes can eat them, but others are completely screwed against a necro right now) it’s not fun at all. Also, I was a fan of hybrid builds, and those dont exist anymore because we still only get the stupid amulte for stats. We used to be able to mix stats between the amulet and our traits, but now that traits don’t give stats we can’t do that anymore.

It looks like I won’t be PvPing again for a long while. I just hope they implement some new dungeons, or raids, otherwise there won’t really be anything I enjoy in this game anymore.

“I was never a big PvPer”. Well… that is your whole problem I guess? If you can’t invest enough time into sPvP many strong classes can seem “OP”. Sure Mesmer got a bit strong but burning and necro? Nothing to quit the game for since burn builds are not really common.

And about the amulete part. Look above. You apparently dont invest enough time to understand the system around it.
The new system even gives more diversity because you dont have to pick a trait line because of the stats. You just chose the trait line now for the traits/utilities it brings.

Oh no, I like the new trait system, I am glad they did it. I just wish that we could choose the stats for each gear slot or something so that we could still have hybrid builds. With the amulet as our only stat source, we have to go all into one type of build, like all zerker, or all rabid, etc.

As far as not many people running burning builds: I don’t think we have been playing PvP on the same game, cause that all I have run into for any class that has access to a decent amount of burning. Ever Guardian, every engineer, every ranger, every ele, they all are leaning heavily on their burns, and it hurts, a lot.

i was reading then you mention necro, so i think its a l2p issue.

Actually, I played a minion necro after the patch and no one can kill me solo on my close point. Thief, ranger, warrior, guardian, mesmer, all of these tried with no success. The guard was down before I could even pop Shroud and I was still above 50% health. Most of the time I didn’t even have to swap off staff. Braindead build (time to try power necro again).
