Guild Wars 2

It’s interesting to read this and see how people prefer different play styles and rate accordingly.

Now, I haven’t personally played any of these, but I have watched 2 Seasons of GoT worth of Videos on all of the specs. I’m only going to list the ones that I’m interested in from what I’ve seen rather than ranking them all.

Spellbreaker: I play a warrior, here and in just about every mmorpg, so I guess you can say I like the “In your face” playstyle. Granted, more games are punishing than others when it comes to melee, but I really enjoyed from what I played with warrior. What I saw from this spec is that it seems VERY PvP based. I don’t know if they are adding any thing new with PvP at all, but this seems like where the class would shine. The numbers did seem very low compared to a regular warrior with GS, but as a class that I felt was very immobile compared to the others, the whole getting in peoples faces and making them stay there is most welcomed. I just hope the dmg output is there to make the spec viable for PvE as well.

Holo: Honestly, I hated engineers. but I think it was because I didn’t understand how they played. When I looked at this, it made me very interested in learning the engineer and how this spec plays out. The dmg output is insane, and it also requires some management on the heat gauge as it pretty much kills you if you hit 100%. But if you can balance the heat while still keeping everything you need up, I’m almost positive that you will be doing the most damage out of all the specs. However, where it can be rewarding, it can also be punishing. So far, I like what I see with this class, I don’t know how it will fare in PvP, but it looks very good for PvE.

I had a slight interest in the Deadeye and Scourge, but I think the Deadeye will play out like Nightshades in ESO to where they just sit back and gank snipe people, but then insta die when they get engaged. I think it will be alright for Group PvE and WORLD PvP… Scourge looks interesting as well, but idk, I just could never get into casting classes.

Since they are loosening the chains on Addons a bit, I think someone should make an addon for this similar to TRP3 for WoW.
