So today on the server MAG, I started a big conversation/discussion on GW2 and the MMO holy trinity(tank,healer,DPS) and everyone involved discussed said topic.
I started off talking about the current ‘meta’ for raids and how basically it runs: Chrono tank, PS warr, druids,tempest,condi dps,etc. You know, the roles “needed”. I was talking about how in PuGs or even organized groups, people don’t prefer another class tanking. For example, a warrior or a guardian or even a thief. Does it work? Absolutely, but it is not a so called NORM to have another class tank. Same goes with healing and dps.
People started going back and forth with: “you can’t have good endgame content without the trinity” and countered back with “It’s been done in every mmo ever and GW2 is trying to branch away from that. Endgame is what you make of it”.
Right now I’d like to say that GW2 for PvE has a meta but it’s a very strict meta and I would like to say it is because of not having a trinity. Mostly the timer for raids i feel makes it a dmg sponge race and the only way to do it is to follow this current meta. I feel as if this strict meta has basically controlled what people do for endgame content instead of thinking for themselves and learning how they want to play which is what GW2 intentions were right?I believe people play a class to learn everything about that class instead of following a straight line that will eventually get nerfed in another patch or major update.
Final thoughts: I’d love to see the trinity come back. I feel as if even though it is used in every mmo possible that it still WORKS. (i hate using WoW as an example but it is an efficient one) WoW has made the ability for all classes to have access to all specs, for classes respectively. If that was implemented in GW2 then maybe being a warrior tank would be a norm, and if i didn’t want to tank i could DPS. Same goes with a ranger, i could dps as a ranger or heal as a druid. I can do that now but it is NOT a norm for everyone because of this strict straight line meta. I believe that the trinity actually brings more diversity!
WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, I would love to read other peoples views on bringing the trinity back/ why it shouldn’t. Maybe not for all content but for at least some endgame content.
I am NA by the way!
I’m looking for a guild that does raiding. I’m mainly a pvp person but i’ve wanted to get into raiding so i’ve been doing a ton of research on the wings and fights. The only fight i’ve ever been in was a Pug for VG.
i know most fights on paper but have yet to gain the experience.
Currently I have fought VG as a chrono tank, condi reaper, and a power DD.
Also currently gearing a PS warrior.
The characters i have raided on are geared respectively.
Feel free to mail me in game or leave a message here if you need any recruits or those specific roles!
