Guild Wars 2

Brigg.6189:

Overall balance is pretty good, some of the largest build diversity I can remember as well. Ele and mesmer are both having trouble finding a role in the meta, but still have dangerous specs, warrior sustain is a little high.

Probably the biggest issue is that some of the meta specs are a little lame. Warriors, spirit rangers, decap engis, and minion mancers can all be frustrating to fight against and easy for inexperienced players to be moderately successful on.

These forums have always been excessively negative, so take them with a grain of salt. Every meta is the worst meta. I don’t think warrior is overall more dominant than ele at it’s peak atm.

“Overall balance is pretty good”. No it’s not. GW2 is the most unbalanced MMO I’ve played when it comes to PvP. There’s not even a hint of balance between classes.

“some of the largest build diversity I can remember as well.” – This is not true. Why would a warrior run anything but healing signet/tanky build, for instance? They still do great damage in it. There will always be the one specc for a class that outshines the rest in MMO’s, and that’s what people will play.

“Ele and mesmer are both having trouble finding a role in the meta, but still have dangerous specs” – Please name those specs.

" warrior sustain is a little high." – A little? They can tank just about everything, unless they get ganged up on (read 3+ people).

“These forums have always been excessively negative, so take them with a grain of salt.” – Forums are negative for a reason, and in this instance it’s the horribly, horribly broken class “balance”. There is no balance to speak of at the moment. PvP in GW2 sucks, and those who are looking to this game for that reason should steer clear. Unless you like running around in zergs in WvW.
