Guild Wars 2

….when literally every other Elite Spec has completely optional weapons and works just as well using base weapon sets?

Also if Astral Force isn’t fixed to not dissipate after combat, GG I’m rerolling

I dont mind the staff gating too much but the ooc dissipation feels awful to play around.

No other spec is so pigeon holed into using their new weapon for the mechanic to work. It needs to change.

Anet is trying to adjust AF generation so that you are encouraged to use Staff but not be forced into using it to have any hope of sufficient AF generation.

It would be nice if Anet came out and explained the type of AF generation balance they are trying to target between Staff and other weapons (e.g., “we are adjusting staff to generate 25-50% more AF than other weapons”) so that we can test to see if we are hitting those targets.

AF generation is too low across the board. Any fight is long over before it becomes available, and then your built up AF just disappears. Hugely disappointing first day of HoT, at least on my ranger.
