If you manage to make this work. I’m pretty sure Anet would nerf it. I look forward to seeing what you come up with since release. I’ve been playing from the start with this in mind and it didn’t really ever work.
So I got the token and decided to turn it in, and while I was looking at all the fancy new toys I accidently double clicked and got a Greatsword.
So now big deal right? I had heard there was a glitch or something that let you use transmutes to get the item soulbound to a different character and I had a warrior that would like that skin.
Did they fix that or something? Because I reskinned it and it’s still bound to my Ele who can’t even use a Greatsword.
Now mind you I’m completely okay with having a greatsword, but not so much not being able to use the thing at all. Any suggestions?
a tank that goes down in three hits instead of two. Yeah if I want survivability I’ll play a glass cannon warrior. All the fun of tanky Ele with several times the damage
Yeah the damage of mages is kinda underwhelming even when stated for power. Anyway I would Love an option to use the appearance of medium or Heavy armor on my Mage. or vice versa I simply ADORE the order of whispers Cowl, but it’s light armor and I’d want to combine it with a breast plate kind of thing.
This right here is basically what your entire post boils down to. There is no “worst” profession. Each profession is no better or no worse than the others; it’s all a matter of how you play them, and certain players will end up gravitating to certain professions and builds within those professions that fit their play style.
Well then of what you’ve played what have you enjoyed least? I’m just curious.
well then get the topic back on track and list yours.
Anyway I know how Elementalist is played, but even specing for surviability you ain’t anywhere close to normal classes, and if you want to match the damage out put of something like a Warrior or a Guardian. You’ve got to element dance which means putting 30 points into Arcane.
I’ve think Engineer just has a ton of glitched skills looking at their bug thread. My Engy friend does swear by their grenades though.
And Elementalist does pretty well in events, and WvW. Basically if spamming their lower damage AoE will benefit them. They are definitely playable, but just they need a look because their glass cannon extends to the glass part and thats about it sadly.
I saw the other thread asking for the best, and I’m curious what you all think is the worst. Bottom 3?
I find
WORST:Elemental Play twice as hard for almost the same benefit as a better class.
2nd: Mesmer (Their illusions don’t really don’t hold aggro and they just feel awkward to play unless you go great sword)
3rd: Thief (this is just personal taste)
I could go into more detail if you like (I’ll admit I haven’t really played thief as much as the others)
If they are hard to play compared to other classes wouldn’t that make them under powered? If they have to work so much harder to achieve the same result?
I look forward to seeing what you come up with since release. I’ve been playing from the start with this in mind and it didn’t really ever work.
