Guild Wars 2

While all the discussions about how good/bad warhorn will be in the upcoming days plaguing the forum, the main issue isn’t that Warhorn is bad, but that it’ll be brought down by the main hands.

But, let’s remember something about the datamined sword skills. Everything was the same as dagger except for the auto-attacks. So, what if we were never going to get sword, but the just put all those abilities under a different weapon in order to internally test them? Say for instance…because dagger might be getting that auto-attack chain.

I guarantee they knew that players would backlash against Warhorn no matter how good it was. And they probably know that it not only has to compete with Focus, Offhand Dagger and Staff while being brought down by the really bad main hands.

So, I propose this discussion. What if Dagger was given that auto-attack chain? They have clearly stated that they do not want Elite specs to make the major changes for the professions. Why wasn’t it ready for the June 23rd patch? Well, optimistically I’d say that it just wasn’t ready. If I wanted to be cynical about such a proposed change, it’s that they knew that Staff was going to get the good stuff in this patch and that it alone could hold Ele’s over until the expansion, so they wait to tell us as a thing to offset Warhorn.

Just imagine that during Friday’s stream they announce this. Last week they announced weapon swap for Revenants. So they’re willing to keep information from us until it’s the right time to show us to get us more excited.

Let’s not be negative about Warhorn. If dagger is given a dedicated autoattack chain (on every attunement) as part of the content coming with the expansion, how would you feel about this change?
