Guild Wars 2

Turgut.4397:

The problem is no true healing class.

I’ve only ever done AC story mode, and that alone has put me off dungeons. Since Pre-release, I’ve done 1 dungeon. That pretty much sums up their design flaw. Mobs spam AoE’s, they hit like trucks, there is no organization, but I suppose “every man for himself” solves it amirite?

People saying “Nah, you just sux at dunjunz, get sum skillz”. If I could reply to this in the form of a facepalm, it would destroy my own face and everything behind. The vast majority of players are not hardcore gamers. And many of them are not ultra-skilled teenagers. Some people like to play for fun. The story and exploration. How can we experience this when we’re getting hacked down by a 2 man patrol?

I really hope they re-work Guardian (perhaps give it a weapon set for direct heals/support, I hoped staff/scepter+focus would be it, but no). Or bring back the Monks to add some order and balance to PvE again.

I seriously Hope they NEVER do anything remotely like that. The minute they do, the minute everyone as a comminuty demands them for dungeons. No true healing class is NOT the problem

Also, honestly, if you are really having that much problem with dungeons, you are part of the problem. A little team work goes a long way. Healing is fine, the culture of not communicating is the problem, if people manage their own health and use a few utilities that help the party instead of LAWL DAMAGES ! you would have a much easier time. Introducing a dedicated healer doesnt solve the problem of poor gaming culture, it compunds it.

You bet I would.

I’ve really been enjoying GW2, is it perfect ? No. But it is a lot of fun.

This is certainly not a list of “Best to Worst”. I don’t think it’s really possible to make a list like that in this game. There are classes that are worse at certain things than other classes, but to say some are just bad is not really fair.

My faovrite classes in order however ?

Necromancer
Guardian
Warrior
Mesmer
Engineer
Elementalist
Thief
Ranger

Why Necromancer at #1 ? It’s alittle buggy sure, but has a HUGE impact on WvW, I really dig the play style swapping between Staff and Scepter, and all around I really like the theme.

Why Ranger at #8 ? I hate pets, I can spec my Necro to not use any. The ranger however always has a pet, and I hate them.

No, thre “trinity” is an old and tried crutch that needs to be thrown out.

every new game that come out with a Tank/healer/dps fram only flags around its un-originality , complasancy and the fails because it is just another rehash of a tried old system that people are sick of.

I will not play another MMO that is based on Tank/healer/dps. Period.

To imply that that is the only way of fixing the current problems is foolish.
