Now that the beta is officially over I thought it to be a good time to give some feedback on my beta experience this weekend. I am probably a bit late on the feedback but oh well someone may see it.
I went through the beta making a point to play all of the classes. I only got to play a bit in the main map enough to know that the gliding mechanic was a lot of fun. It added a new fluidity toward the game-play in the map. Other than that I was playing around with the new classes and testing them out.
Reaper: I had a lot of fun with the reaper. I used the reaper build to really just go into the Reaper Shroud as much as possible. The Reaper shroud was very nice to be able to gain stability and then use the 4 skill to kill most things. When using the Greatsword I had a build of zerker. I didnt really see enough damaging conditions on the greatsword skills to constitute using a condi build. Overall I liked the Reaper and I want to play as the reaper.
Tempest: When I heard you were going to add a warhorn I was skeptical. But the addition of the warhorn and overloading of the elements is a pretty cool idea. I had a lot of fun with the warhorn and fire element stacking might then just using the 4 skill to give everyone might. I also liked the overloading of each element. Truly I had the most fun with the earth overload where i just ran over everyone in my path. I will definitely be using the tempest.
Chronomancer: Just like the tempest i was skeptical to give a shield to the mesmer but the first time I used it i confused myself when using it. When I say I got confused it was because of how awesome it was. In skirimishing it would be a great way to confuse people in pvp. I used a shatter build and it was awesome. The new f5 skill was an awesome idea that I havent ever seen in anything like it in any other game. It is a great idea. I also want to play Chronomancer.
Dragonhunter: I truly didnt really like the Dragonhunter. It could be me but I dont see the bow being used for anything but damage range. I never played my guard as damage class. I have always played as tank and maybe i wasnt seeing it but I didnt see any good use as support or tank build worthy. At this current moment I probably won’t play as a Dragonhunter.
Revenant: The new physical damage skills with dual swords was a lot of fun. When dual wielding swords I did find that the 3 skill was a bit buggy when teleporting people off ledges and things like that. When using the assassin skills I heard many people talking about how they don’t see a prominent use for it. I used the assassin skill to get quickness. I didnt find the heal skill super reliable and I never used the unblock able attacks skill. I like the revenant as a class it is unique and I definitely want to play as one. Also Thank you for the weapon swapping.
I apologize for the length of this review I kinda wanted to see if I could help in anyway and also give you one mans opinion.
TLDR:
Reaper: A lot of fun owning people in reaper shroud. Little condition damage on GS.
Tempest: Great way to stack might and other boons. Overloading elements is awesome.
Chronomancer: Very unique and original. Used shatter build and owned.
Dragonhunter: I didn’t like the dragon hunter. I didn’t see a good tank or support use for bow. (just my opinion)
Revenant: Dual wield swords is fun. A bit of rough spots on the new assassin skills.
Thank You ANet Staff you guys are the best.
