Guild Wars 2

50 bucks and no character slot?
Time to Renew my wow

The reason that zerker gear is the best in pve is because of two reasons
1- people want to get their rewards as fast as they can. (Raises hand)
2- THIS IS THE BIG ONE- The fights in pve are NOT HARD AT ALL so in turn don’t require any other gear than just dps gear.

For example- in the current pve the monsters are so predictable and stupid that dodging is enough to avoid most damage. I mean why the hell would I wear healing gear and kill the mob in 2mins while out healing the damage it does to me when I can wear berserker gear and kill it on 10 secs. The fights in pve are not hard at all and people want their rewards as fast as possible so they wear zerker gear. ITS NOT THE GEAR ITS THE FIGHTS.
And
If anet does decide to do something about the “meta” it should be by making stuff harder to do, NOT by nerfing berserker gear.
ANET PLEASE NOTE
“Harder” doesn’t mean more hp and attacking quicker. It means having interesting and challenging mechanics and less predictable AI. One of my favorite fights in the game is the end boss of the Grawl fractal which has interesting and fun mechanics, constant pressure from the fear of catching on fire but still rather easy IMO.

Another way I think fights can be a bit more challenging is if ANET introduced a gambit system to instanced content. The more and harder gambits you pick, the better reward you get.
Let’s hope challenging group content is not just mobs with high health and slow attacks and not open world afk zergfests. I’m hoping for a raid system with at least minimum of 10 people inside a hard yet fun instanced type mode.

There will always be a meta, even if it’s putting water fields on top of the boss and hoping he drowns (lol hodgins from ac)

No as that would make condis really op and make direct damage not worth

Anet plz fix lupi already

Has anet still not responded to lupi being bugged? As someone who spends like 95% of his time soloing Arah, I’m getting bored because lupi is such a pain now

on the 23rd they are adding the ability to change the stats of our gear. As someone who has like 30 healing gear boxes this is very welcome news.

So far the stuff they have showed us is not worth 50$ IN MY OPINION, that being said i will not be purchasing HOT unless they do atleast one of these
- add a character slot
- show us more stuff so it’s worth the 50$
- lower the cost
- maybe add a option for the veteran players
- all of the above

They got rid of them because they were WAYYYY TOO HARD and also living world is sooooo much challenging.

Wow has more content…….
