The smell of desperation, disappointment, anger and urine..

I feel like the forums are only just catching up to where my thoughts were shortly after the fuller set of info came out of the announcement at PAX..

Slow on the uptake but congrats guys.

You mustn’t have been to the forums for a very, very long time.

Also, take your weak bladder to the toilet.

still trying to be the teenage variant of pyro i see, good on you sir.

Its just, when clues were being handed out you were clearly missing

Pax was so recent

My primary concerns with shield are:

  • Shield skills in the game so far are lackluster; they are rarely useful except in niche situations (e.g. guardian focus is a much better ‘shield’ than a shield).
  • It’s an off-hand weapon; mesmers already have three decent off hands, but not as many main hand options (sword is great, but scepter is bleh).

So, yeah: I’m sad we’re getting a shield. I expect never to use it and end up focusing on another prof’s specialization.
