Guild Wars 2

Mesmer is my main i suppose. I do have an ele i play when my boyfriend is on, but that isn’t too often.

I guess what bums me out is the fact that every single one of my weapon skills are unlocked already. I understand i don’t have all my slot skills, only all my weapon skills, but it just has such a feel of throwing the exact same 3 or so skills at mobs till they die, while occasionally using one of my slot skills, which have rather large cool downs.

One thing i honestly like about most mmos are diverse skills at my disposal, i just don’t get that feeling here. Again, i realize i’m only 16, but even watching high level play videos it appears lvl 80s just primarily spam the exact same weapon skills that have the exact same visuals that they do for me.

I know traits are a thing, and i think they were actually unlocked sooner when i started playing(summer of last year), but even then they seemed to mostly be “dot spells do x% more damage for each dot on them” , changing the damage but nothing really all that interesting.

Maybe this just isn’t the game for me XD I like being rewarded for leveling up by pretty, shiny spells. I just don’t feel like i have any clear cut goal to work towards…except cooking, ive been having fun with that, lol.

I am not knocking this game, i’m just having a lot of trouble getting into it. I mean, its been ok fun to play, but there aren’t many days when i’m like “man i really want to play Gw2”

I think my biggest problem is the skill system as far as i understands it. My highest level character is 16 and yet it appears i have every main skill i am ever going to have, outside of a few skills with massive cooldowns and over all non game changing effects.

I guess i dont really feel much motivation to play and level up if i dont get many new skills to mess around with.

Even in one of the other games i palyed, where skills were few, they at least got bigger and more powerful the more you used them (the size of an aoe was a bit over double when cast by someone who just got one, when compared to someone who mastered the skill.)

Idk why i’m finding it so hard to like this game, when i like nearly all mmos.

Help?
