Hey, I’m new to GW2, but have played traditional MMOs since EverQuest. Which might be a handicap, because it seems like GW2 is really different!
My first question: Where are the rest of the attack skills? I get that attack skills are tied to weapon selection. But as far as I can tell, each weapon type (or pair) only ever gets five attacks. Does that mean that I’m going to spend my entire adventuring career using the same five attacks over and over again forever?
I’m used to gradually unlocking a long series of new skills, which means that my strategies and playing experience is constantly evolving (which is pretty much the whole reason I play). I realize that slot skills and traits will do this to some degree, but I’m only to level 6 and I’m already bored with just pressing the same five buttons that I was pressing at level 1.
(I realize that I can change weapons, but that changes my entire play style, which is not what I’m looking for.)
I hope that I’m missing something, because otherwise I love this game! It’s absolutely beautiful, there’s so much to do, the zones are really dynamic, and it has so many other features that I wish every MMO had.
Thanks.
