Guild Wars 2

So warriors have received the follow changes according to the notes:

Warrior:
•Warriors can now triple-wield weapons by slotting a third weapon into their helmet slot.
•Phalanx Strength now applies Fury, Regeneration, Protection, Aegis, Resistance, Vigor, Swiftness, Quickness, Alacrity, Spotter, Stealth, Super Speed, and Fire Attunement in addition to Might.

Now I want to draw attention to the last effect applied by the new Phalanx Strength. Fire Attunement. Fire Attunement seems relatively minor compared to the other things on the list, but the patch notes also included this change:

Elementalist:
•Fire Attunement now sets the caster on fire until water attunement is cast.

Assuming the PS version of fire attunement is the same as the ele version of the attunement, this would mean that PS would be setting the entire group on fire, however the patch notes do not include any way for a warrior to apply Water Attunement which means that PS is actually a danger to the group (depending on how much burning Fire Attunement applies)

I feel like this is a gross oversight, and wonder if this is really intended by Anet.

Oh dear. Check the date of the patch notes. April 1st .. get it?

I’m pretty sure he knows that and is just adding to the joke.

Telling jokes isn’t necessarily about being funny.

Who cares about being funny or not? We can finally triple-wield weapons!!! An axe in each fist, greatsword on my head, ready to go! Leerooooooooooooooooooy Jenkinnnnnnnnnnnns!!!111!

Somehow I find it sad that engies didn’t get their long wished ability to dual-wield shields.
