I’d have to say the next class will be one that uses heavy armor. Reasoning for this is that there are 3 classes that use light armor (Elementalist, Mesmer, and Necromancer), 3 classes that use medium armor (Thief, Ranger, and Engineer), and only 2 that use heavy armor (Guardian and Warrior)
So keeping that in mind, I’d love to see a class with heavy armor that uses 2h axes, polearms, or spears.
I hopped in game early this morning to farm out some karma for the armor set. I was hitting 5 different events and having a good time even though I was farming when suddenly I start getting almost no loot from drops and stopped when one event gave me only 72 karma for gold participation.
I was on my 2nd karma booster with still about 30 min left on it. Not wanting to waste the booster that I bought (which have been getting more expensive with the gold to gems conversion) I just logged out of the game.
If they don’t want us to farm they need to lower the prices on… well everything. This game is a grind. Yes the only stuff you really need to grind for is aesthetics but the amount of karma, dungeon tokens, gold needed for the endgame gear is something that you have to invest a lot of time grinding to get.
After spending much of the day doing events in Orr and using 3 of these boosters. I’m pretty certain they are bugged and either not working at all or giving only 5% karma instead of 50%.
Normally on events I get between 320-380 karma depending on if its a gold medal or silver. Not once during the whole day did I see any karma gain of 400 or higher which would be expected with the boosters.
A couple things I think that could really help out with WvW.
1. Queue for first available. For those just looking to get into the fight asap.
2. Visible queue numbers and average wait time when hovering over the WvW icon in the top right.
3. Ability to see the WvWvW map from outside of WvWvW. No active battle markers or any information on the map other than which sides hold which positions.
I can just see the marketing now.
Screw the pandas. We have polar bears.
I never asked for them to cut them down to half the cost of a 2h weapon. I’d be happy with paying 2/3 the cost of the 2h weapons so for the karma ones maybe 42,000 instead of 63k.
Would still be 84k for both weapons combined, but a lot more reasonable than the 126k.
Oops, fixed.
Yes all t3 cultural weapons cost 63k karma regardless if they are 1h or 2h weapons.

I really wish they would have adjusted the karma and crafting costs for 1h vs 2h weapons.
For the level 80 karma weapons they cost a flat 63,000 karma.
Example: Greatsword = 63,000 karma. 2x daggers = 126,000 karma.
For crafting see http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_forge/Mystic_Weapons
My main concern here is that the eldritch scroll used for 1h and 2h weapons is the same 50 skill point cost. If they could add in a separate scroll with a lower cost for the 1h weapons or increase the cost of the 2h weapons it would be more balanced.
These are just a couple examples in the game where it’s pretty obvious that if you want to save time/money you should stick with 2h weapons. In my opinion they should work to bring these more in line in terms of crafting costs or karma costs.
