I haven’t actually started running dungeons yet in Guild Wars 2, but in I’ve always been an avid PvE player in any mmo I’ve played. And it didn’t take long on these forums to know that War, Mes, Guard are the best classes in dungeons.
The thing I’m confused about is that most posts I see talk about class discrimination in PuGs, and the annoyances that come with that. A lot of people seem to respond with things like “ignore those groups” or “play with you’re friends/guildies” and the like. From the posts I’ve seen there hasn’t been many signs that there is a lot of outrage over the fact that there are 3 classes that far outpace every other class in dungeon viability (as opposed outrage over getting passed over in PuGs because of your class).
Am I just missing something? Because it really sounds like there is a pretty horrible issue with the class balance that people aren’t angry enough about. My current highest character is an Ele, and while they aren’t known for being the worst in dungeons, in makes me nervous to think that I’ll be having an unnecessarily hard time in dungeons compared to other professions. And while you might say not to worry about speed runs and such, I actually like being able to perform in some sort of optimum capacity when I’m doing PvE.
TL;DR Haven’t gotten into GW2 dungeons yet. Why do people seem more angry about class discrimination rather than the profession-balance issue that causes it.
Feel free to disregard me if I’m just being an idiot.
