Guild Wars 2

Hi, Nothing have been revealed on thief specialization, and i decide to put my two cents on what the specialization could lead and what i think could be a really cool idea. Many post til far i have seen giving thief the rifle, greatsword or offhand sword but i came with a insane idea, why not to give thief focus and mantras skills?. you could center the focus skills on evasions or blocks, an also support skills (even give him distortion), an mantras are a very quick spellcasting . Now with the reveal trap and that kind of stuff will give the thief another aspect of evasion an blocking with the focus instead of relying on stealth wile remaining the fast pace, hard to hit profession that is right now. i would like to hear your opinions about it and other cool ideas you might have =)

I don’t know, my problem with this topic is that is so based in opinions that is more or less futile to get an agreement or a satisfactory discussion, everything just will get out as complaining instead of useful criticism. In my opinion you can see grind anywhere, even in single player games. For example if i want to get all the spells in dark souls i have to grind a lot of souls to get them, if i want to be master in every perk in skyrim i have to kill a lot of mobs with a weapons/magic that i don’t find funny or engaging, if you want to experience every ship and weapon in FTL you have to play over and over again and fight similar ships and missions.

As I said is always a matter of opinions. Is what you find tedious or repetitive. In my opinion GW2 is very mush grind optional, i will not said that there is not grind at all but i think is more or less optional, you can play any dungeon/game modes without grinding for things. The only things that i would consider grind are some skins, assented gear and legendary, but that doesn’t stop you from playing all the fractals or have fun in wvw and pvp, and you can obtain most of the things by other mediums. for example Assented gear, if you don’t want to farm the materials and crafting , you eventually will get them as a drop if you play wvw, spvp or pve. And the things that are more grindy like Legendary, fractal weapon, luminescent armor, achievement armors(celestial) you don’t need them to be good on any game mode or experience everything the game have to offer, and you can make your character look cool without them.

I agree that the game have a lot of things to improve, but discussing that it is or isn’t a grindy game will not solve or improve anything in the game.
