I love Ele. My favorite class of all- and I have and play all. But I have to say…. I am VERY disappointed. This is all they could come up with?
Mesmer gets Chronomancer. Oh, does that sound like fun; can’t wait to try it. Necro gets Reaper. Looks and sounds pretty sweet as well. Dragonhunter for Guard? Druid for Ranger? Hey, they have possibilities.
And then this. Let’s overcharge some elements (which, TBH, sounds cool, and I’m sure I can make it work even with long charge/cast times) and then give it some shouts. Shouts? On an elemental magic wielding wizard class? Oh, and the the description says ‘close range’. Yes, because the squishiest class in the game needs to get CLOSER to the danger…. and don’t we already have that with dagger? I honestly don’t care what the weapon is… I was just expecting better after the previous specs were released. Now it makes me dread what they’re gonna do with Thief, War, Engi.
They couldn’t do something like a summoner? Eles can already call elementals… why not expand on that? Be neat to not just have a fiery djinn hanging around but maybe a dragon- or demon- looking thing made of fire? Or even add an element. Instead of shouts, why not sonic based magic? A massive sonic boom would be an awesome attack. Or make it so the ele could combine elements. kitten , that could be fun. You could do it in the original Guild Wars, after all.
But no, we get shafted with this.
I’m honestly worried now about what’s coming for the other classes. And I know I will not be using the shouts or warhorn. If I wanted to do that, I’d go play my Guard or War. C’mon, we’re Ele’s. WE WANT TO NUKE STUFF. And we get lousy shouts.
My poor Ele’s. sigh
Not much to add to what’s already been stated; overall impression is good as far as the purpose of the stress test is concerned. I experienced no lag, major FPS drops, or outstanding bugs.
I am eager to see what the rest of the expansion has in store, esp. the specialties, and also eager to learn Rev from ground up.
I do agree that the gliding needs tweaking…. and looking forward to soaring across the skies. Would be nice to be able to trigger it sooner…. and trigger it again quicker if you shut it off in flight.
Seems silly compared to some of the other stuff… but make certain pieces of armor/equipment dyeable? Like, say, the Radiant Mantle or Helm? or the Wizard’s Hat? It’d be nice to be able to dye the base metal, for example; and the hat might see more use if you could match it to the rest of your armor. I know there’s a number of items like that. And maybe make ‘plain’ weapons- like say the ordinary ones you buy at a weaponsmith- dyeable?
I also agree with separating PvE World Completion- and Jumping Puzzles- from WvWvW. It completely tanks to be a few steps from a hard to get vista or achieving a jumping puzzle and get cut down by people who just want another fricking point in an achievement or whatever. I would rather not touch WvW or PvP at all, but here I’m forced to… AND IT IS NOT FUN AT ALL, MERELY FRUSTRATING.
