Mesmers vs Clunkiness
It’s a good post and good points.
GS4 is weird given the animation. I preferred the “by the power of greyskull!” animation, which could have been retained and given some kind of cc effect.
Sword 5 is even more weird, no doubt. I have no idea what they were going for here.
Staff 3 is just boring and unimaginative. I hope it gets replaced by something more interesting in the future.
Staff 4 similarly while at least having some additional component of initial Condi proc is still not worth a skill slot, certainly not a skill number 4 weapons slot. It needs a more interesting active mechanic.
But Pistol 4 is surely one of the worst and definitely needs some kind of buff (maybe we might see one on Tuesday).
Actually sword looks ok. It does its thing and it further rewardsnyou fi you manage to melee with it. If they make phantasms and clones be affected by might and boons then this could be ok.
Pistol is trash ofc.
