Guild Wars 2

as the title says!
what is everyone hyped to try tomorrow?

for me its:

longbow power ranger
it has the potential to kill things VERY fast, from 1500 away.

flamethrower engi
30% damage increase on the AA is no joke! also the blast finisher on #2 is awesome.

PU mesmer
torment on scepter? illusionary elasticity on staff clones? lets go!

GS warrior
sure the 5% damage nerf sucks, but are you prepared for 8K+ AoE arcing Slices?!

p/p thief
mostly out of curiosity, but the buff to both Unload and Invigorating Precision could lead to a rather crazy regen build!

might stacking axe condi ranger
combine with the trait that shares boons to your pet,
put points in beast mastery, this could be very dangerous!

what are you folks looking forward to trying?

Spirit Weapon Guard because there’s not enough AI.

I may actually be inclined to play a bit of ranger at last

Everything?

ranger is going to be hellishly fun, thieves beware!

It sounds fun to fight against GS warriors again…but everything else sounds like it could be really annoying, especially that ranger longbow.

Guess i’ll go play pingpong this patch… as the ball.

In mind that these all miraculously work;

• My current Necro build (hue)
• Warrior GS executioners build – Got something epic in mind, but at the same time slightly worrying… I will have to see how it plays out
• Meditation support Guardian – Got something in mind for this as well
• Chaotic Interrupt Mesmer – I already find this build to be a blast to play
• LB/GS Ranger – Though I fear this being outclassed by a lot of DPS builds still…
• Power Flamethrower engi – but I doubt I’ll run it personally…

Slight concerns? I sure do have them;

• Venom Share Thief – there was no reason to “buff” them really, as they were already strong with a good team… Plus it does not feel like a Thief…
• Turret Engineer – because buffing Rocket turret… Good grief…
• To some extend condition Mesmer – buuuut, those can be countered hard by any competent Necro since Mesmers themselves do not have many options to cleanse… I just dislike the passive play by autoattacking…

Things that can be hilarious to see:

• Unload Thief… UNLOAD THIEF! UNLOAAAAAAAAAAD!
• Lifesteal SoV Necromancer – that 1s buff yo
• Spirit Weapon Guardian – Say what you need to say, they will likely still be bad and die horrible to AoE or general teamfights
• Stealth spamming Mesmers – let me cap the point as you will… I do not mind…

p/p thief , but no meantion of power necro. i think this is final proof

Really looking forward gadget engis, now that personal healing unit removes 2 conditions before healing it’s going to be a very fun healing skill to use.

How can one seriously look forward to PU condi mesmers plaguing pvp? Most of the changes are cool, but this one certainly isn’t.

I am looking forward to an warrior build that can DPS, Heal and CC, everything at the same time (to multiple targets if possible).

you forgot stomp/rezz , the 4th trinity all warrbots have.

Longbow power ranger will defently lack of condi removal. The question will be will the dmg be enough? Cause if its not Ranger will still use high toughness and Empathetic bond builds.

pew pew rangers will be annoying as hell

my celestial jaggernaut will get buff, i’m happy

counter invis SD engis could be

axe/axe warriors?) with adren on axe can be good and some gs or sword+whatever for mobility or def

pistol thiefs…hm…

guards will be the same. medi maybe some will use tomes for trolls or heals, will see overall changes.

easy necro stompers

ele same.

Engi with the new turret trait that puts wheels on the turrets so they follow you around like ranger spirits.

I think the trait is called Skatemode.

For the love of all that is good in the world, please do not give ArenaNet ideas like that.

Sure, you laugh now but when it happens…

Thanks.
