abbadon you have not played many mmo games then, most mmo games do not have anything like a “battle sorc”.
Ever played Ragnarok Online ? One of the best MMORPG in its time with huge guild wars, still active and with a marvellous class called Scholar and their evolution, the Sorcerer.
You were able to go melee and still deal some magic damages upon the physical ones, or cast from far…
I used to play Scholar and I would love to see that kind of gameplay in GW2.
