Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if any of you played rift, but when that game first came out the EXACT same thing was said/thought about the mage class. I’m not sure if its group thinking or ppl brought up on crappy games but I really couldn’t get it because I thought it was great. So it was kind of crazy to see all the noobs cry again.

to be honest, I kind of wish you wouldn’t share so much info :p

the difficulty of ele actually kind of surprised me (in a good way), I just assumed all these new mmos are easy, when compared to games like daoc and EQ.

Anyway I think ele may need some minor tweaks at most. I’m almost rank 9 in pvp and its starting to get a bit tough but I honestly only have an issue with heartseeker which usually does 7-8k dmg. So my point is maybe they need to change other professions than change ele skills.

I do agree that some classes can spam fewer skills, but no where near as bad as you make it sound. I have no problem doing massive damage, especially AE but as a caster I expect to be a glass cannon. Plus in this game you can heal too which is very different. It takes a while to learn this class, to remember which order to switch attunments, to release signets on time, to remove debuffs, and to run away. I’ve also 1v1d alot of thieves, its kind of challenging to win that match but its not instant death either. And yes heartseeker is almost always #1 skill that kills me.
