Guild Wars 2

Me, my best friend and fiance have been raiding together for a long, long time in wow. We are huge fans of mmos and have been levelling a threesome (We are at 45ish now).

First few runs were when I was 35ish in AC. Way, Way too hard for the first dungeon with too little reward. We had to farm for gold just so we could afford the repair costs.

Than we left dungeons for a bit figuring AC was just messed up. Went into CM last night and it was terrible…. First boss no problem, rockets gimmick check. From there on we walked into a few rooms and 15 guys came out of nowhere and jumped us. We all had taken very utility based specs… stuns, buffs, heals, fears, blocks, kiting and extra dodges all around.

And it was very, very frustrating. If you want to throw in 15+ MOBS thats fine, but give us longer term CC’s or something… anything…. I only have so many fears, stuns, dodges ect before I am stuck kiting sideways with my ranged weapon watching my health going downward. I actually kited a group of 6 all the way back to the waypoint and than it was a hilarious wipefest until we killed em all.

I have not played wow for 1 year now, trying all these different mmo’s hoping for something more involved… I thought this was going to be it, and sadly it is not there yet. I hope AN gets their act together or I will be filing a chargeback on my CC as dissatisfied with service and get my money back… my 90 days are not up yet ;P

I started with the signet build and popped on a GS out of the gate. I leveled my warrior to 35 and decided I wanted to start doing dungeons so went full utility. Mace-Shield/Hammer. After 4 levels I could not do it anymore. While it does add some extra funzies most notably pain suppresion and a group cleanse, I felt I was more of a hindrance than an asset to my group. I will say battle standard rezzes were amazing but If I were putting in the damage my signet build can generate this fight would be over.

So, to make a long story short I took what I learned, went back to the signet build… but compromised and put down the GS and took up a Hammer/Rifle set instead. I am very pleased so far but wishing I could do leetsauce damage and still use my shouts ><
