Guild Wars 2

Don’t know if I’ll be heard with all of these pages of individuals expressing their thoughts (Amazing suggestions btw. I thoroughly agree with most!), but I just wanted to comment on the animations for the 1 skill on staff, the CA 5 skill for sylvari/human males, and the usability of Sublime conversion.

I like everything about the concept of Druid, but a lot of things feel off. Most people commented on them, but I didn’t catch anyone comment on how lackluster the animation is for solar beam. I feel the beam should be thicker and the radius of the heal wider. I just want it to feel more substantial for this elite spec. The enemy should burst with light more as well. Like when you’re downed as a guardian using your 1 skill. You needn’t be reserve with aesthetics of the 1 skill since the staff guardian 1 skill looks like a huge wave of healing, serene light.

As for the animations for Celestial Avatar 5 skill on Sylvari/Human males….. When I watched twitchcon, I was so happy and inspired by the concepts expressed by the druid and I deleted my low level ranger and recreated him as a male sylvari. In the stream, the female sylvari was floating and pulsating out this beautiful wave with swirling planets….. but when I finally saw the animations on a male sylvari I saw that they squat AGAIN (similar to 4 skill staff guardian) like they’re taking a Jupiter sized crap. It doesn’t even make sense for what I’m looking at. Please change this. You’re a celestial avatar. I want to feel meditative and enlightened, and I feel all the races/genders should. Not like I’m getting hyped for a party. Just saying I was really turned off by the reuse of this kind of animation just for being male. Make them float in fetal position, stand while raising their left hand slowly, or let them open their arms ,while looking into the sky, without bending their back like the females do.

Also as a little side note, it might be nice if you increase the size of the Sublime Conversion. Such a beautiful name and yet the skill seems a lot more mundane than sublime. It might be better if it were and an AoE field like Ventari’s Protective Solace! Instead of it destroying projectiles it would convert them. I imagine this would be great for PvE and Raids!
