Guild Wars 2

The game still needs some work for sure, some skills still have bugs, some traits do not work properly so we will hopefully some changes in that area.

But balance ? you have to remember that each and every skill and trait in the game must be measured in 3 different aspects: SPvP/TPvP, PvE and WvW.
For instance, Moa morph is a strong ability in S/TPvP but not that much effective in WvW (morphing just 1 player from a big zerg isn’t nearly as helpful as taking out 1 player out of a 5 men team).

With that in mind, i think that only a handful of people can really make a valid claim to whether the game is really balanced or not.

So until someone with that knowledge will make a comment here, all i can suggest is that players will try to work with what we have right now.

The game is only 1 month old. I think we all need some more time with it in order to learn how to counter each and every class and it’s builds.
That’s why some classes may appear to have a significant advantage, such as thief and mesmer simply because they are harder to play against.
But that doesn’t make them OP, just ask yourself the question of what you can do differently in order to beat them.

Not sure if anyone wrote that already but Phantasmal Haste does not work also on the Berserker and the Duelist.

Moreover, on rare occasions i get into walls etc when i swap places with the illusionary leap.
