I havnt had a mass of playtime on the profession however, great job in design, it feels refreshing and very different to the other proffessions playstyles, it defintly is a lot of fun to play and brings a new playstyle really to the table with the little features it has such as the utilities being tied to weapons and the legends and no CD on Utility skills, I defintly am loving the profession.
I feel The healing skills are too weak, I don’t really feel any boost in health over a fight due to delays and things, I understand this is low cause we effectively have 2 heals over a normal proffessions 1, but it really does feel so very low in comparison to any other healing In the game I’ve used so far.
Shiros Damage output seems abit too low for a assassin, I don’t really feel like the burst is there (this could be cause I’m new so I will keep trying it and learning it before ireally confirm that) but as far as I’ve gone so far its damage isn’t all the great currently,
however, hammers damage is kitten good, defintly is strong in situations i still feel the Cast times on some of their abilities may need adjusting as some attacks are just quite slow without hitting harder, I havnt tested staff yet, not sure if i can rely on Shiros damage enough to really throw the support weapon in with it as i feel i may just lose all my damage trying that so maybe for a bunker build it’d do well but prolly not if ur looking to use Shiro for assassin styled play.
I love the trait options – i feel like there is a good variation of both defencsive and offensive traits with this profession, I wont really comment on if i feel any of them are underpowered, there are some such as Assassins Annihaliation that i’d say maybe are abit too situational requiring u to attack from the side of back given people generally don’t stand still for you in pvp however i could see its uses in PvE situaitons.
The utility skills seem interesting, being locked into them per weapon set is different for sure, i know without CDs u have to be careful with what u create but i feel some of them arnt really strong enough when u put them into action, the Revs inability to swap between utilities lowers its capability in countering other builds which is the fall of it, i feel that some just don’t provide enough of what they do to give the rev enough defence.
Overall though a good experience i feel this will defintly become my new main, Only issues I’m having is finding the damage with Shiro and our healing options and I’m sure if it flags as a actual problem and not just down to how new i am at the profession it’ll be sorted before its release anyway
So really Good job Anet, and Thankyou for this brilliant profession c:
