Any feedback?

I don’t like the any shape-shifting idea. But that’s my opinion.

And I can’t provide any real feedback unless the spells of the transforms are specified.

About Staff Skills – Not what I want. For WvW, I need the staff to be a targetable CC ability I can use when I need it, not if the enemy is forced to step in it or is stupid enough to step in it.
But the ideas are with nice concept. Some new mechanics that sound viable and I can give you some credit for that.

And I do hope we’ll get a condition cleanse/convert with the staff. It would be much appreciated since they forced us down a trait line to get a condition cleanse and didn’t allow us to get both, regardless.

Could be transformations (ugh) or could be those “Aspects” mentioned long ago. Judging from the data-mined Elite placeholder image, an emphasis on pets is a likely guess. Beastmastery 2.0!

Maybe Druids will get “kits” as utility which are working like transformations. That would just be too awesome.
