Guild Wars 2

I prefer the typing variant. I’d rather not have to scramble to identify which of the random icons that have appeared on my hotbar is the one I’m after when I know exactly what I’m suppose to be doing. At that point it becomes less of a ‘perform the emote in a timely manner’ game and more of a ‘find the emote in a timely manner’ game. The latter just feels far less satisfying to me, and more prone to frustration.

Plenty of people still fail the typing game, so it’s not like it’s necessarily too easy.

Definitely double daggers. Fast paced in your face combat.

I’m fine with elementalists being locked into one weapon set in combat. I would, however, greatly advocate out of combat weapon swapping if only for convenience sake. It gets tiring having to go into my inventory and drag over a new weapon every time I want to swap sets.
