This game is okay and all, i love the pvp combat. However, I dont see myself still playing this game in a month or so because i’m already getting bored. Why? It’s because there is only like 3 viable builds you can run on each profession (max) and once u run all them and get tired of them… then what?

A huge part of the fun in gw1 in pvp was choosing a secondary that would work well with your build, like monks using warrior secondary for defensive stances and warriors using assassin secondary for dagger attacks. It kept me amused for more than 5 years, and 6,000+ hours of gameplay.

Why did they off secondaries? Well, its because they figured it would be too hard to balance all the cross profession combinations. And they were right. It would be hard, but finding that op combo just makes the game that much better. I think the game lost a lot of potential when they decided to cancel plans for a secondary, and i think it would be great for them to release secondary professions in a DLC (although that is highly unlikely)

And for the record they did balance gw1 pretty well. Nothing got too far out of hand, so i dont see why it would be that much of a problem here.

Maybe it is that you burnt yourself out from gaming in general. The only reason I don’t see them adding secondary professions now is because the whole game was designed for the way it is.
New skills in the future I can really see happening but not allowing mixed classes

GW1 was also hard to balance due to the secondary professions. I miss them too, but really, GW2 has a lot of other problems with current profession balance, I cringe to think how bad it would have been were I a Warrior/Thief.

I play Warrior, Guardian, Elementalist and Thief.

And all the posts in the SPvP forum would be nerf calls of Thief and Warrior… oh wait…
