I would enjoy this as well. Most of the time I end up attacking things I’m not targeting anyways because my target was unfocused… And I had no control over it.
Not even fighting creatures that stealth.
Now… Seeing as I’ve only played this game for 3-ish months… I don’t know a lot about builds/traitpoints ect. ect…. I’m just going to continue on with my gripes (Suggestions) about every single class that I have played.
Warrior:
Simple. High Power, High Toughness. (Not saying it requires no skill to play. Simple is good.)
But when it comes down to it…. Kinda boring.
It would be nice to play this class in a more complicated manner whilst still being able to play it simple for the players that cannot process the ideas of complicated classes.
Guardian:
In lower levels… Low power. High toughness. requires some skill to play.
But still… BORING.
Greatsword smashing is all good and dandy… 2, 3, wait for cooldowns…
Sword/Focus 2, 3, 5 – Ring of fire… decent damage but not really fun to play.
I feel lagging behind other classes with damage. If I wanted to play a guardian offensively I really couldnt beat a warrior at all. …Or a necro…
Thief:
Its nice to not have cooldowns — But I feel S/P and D/D are way too overused. P/P is not viable in PvE (I don’t play PvP for good reason.) D/P is more fun than any other weapon set IMO, but does not perform.
Lots of people (from what i’ve read today) apparently 1-3 hit KO players in PvP with this class. There needs to be counters for this. I’m not saying get rid of this as an assassin in RL would be able to kill someone in 1 stab/bullet but there should be a way to thwart this if you’re smart.
Elementalist:
The MOST fun out of every class that I see in this game.
I have a 16 thief (Stopped playing due to boredom)
a 24 Warrior (Stopped playing due to rinse and repeat actions)
a 10 Guardian (I restarted, was 20. Currently playing and hoping my new plan will make it more fun)
and a 44 Elementalist (I just cannot stop playing this)
How come other classes in this game are not like Elementalist? I understand Elementalists are hard to master but once you do… the satisfaction of playing one is just overwhelming! I have 8 different weapons to choose from while in battle (I use D/D primarily, 4 sets with the attunements and 4 conjured weapons which are amazing btw)
And the options are just so well thought out! Definitely a versatile class, I can even combo my OWN skills by myself! Fire Shield to be exact.
Is there any way I can play other classes without being bored? There is no action playing a Warrior/Guardian and I dont feel like a stealth based assassin or even a combat based thief, there’s only one play style to choose from and there’s not even a single on the fly decision to make while playing these classes. Its all predetermined.
Warrior needs to be able to use more weapons. They’re warriors… they know how to use weapons. Why not let them use weapons? And use them well at that! Its all greatsword spam from what I’ve seen. Not fun at all!
Guardian needs to use a shield better than what I’ve seen. Shield is useless to me and I’d rather have a tiny stick in my left hand with a rock attached to the end (Focus) than something to parry and block attacks! Two types of shields maybe? Greatshield/Targe… Theres 2 swords and 2 hammers [Mace IMO] staff and scepter… shield? Where are you?
Mesmer needs to be more exciting than it is. I got to level 5 and deleted it.
Seems as if I’m relying on AI 100% of the time to get the job done. I should have a choice (Like Necro) to be able to summon minions or to utilize the mesmer’s abilities alone as one body. being able to clone himself/herself is amazing! Utilize it! be able to take the place of one of your phantasms/clones and swap with them making it harder to pinpoint which is the real one! An illusionist should be able to move quickly and appear in places like a thief should (But for some reason thief is lacking in this too IMO)
Rangers…… There’s no action there. My opinion. Pets are boring and do one thing… attack. Do they even have a viable CQC option? I have no idea.
Everyone complains about elementalists not doing enough damage in PvP or dying too quickly. Personally, I do die quite a bit… but usually my conditions will pick me right back up… Poison burn and bleed all at once is a BIT hard to deal with am I wrong?
I do a ridiculous amount of damage and I even believe that my spec is weird… Precision Ele 40% crit? i can kill 3-4 mobs 3 levels higher than me and not hit the ground once. Why is PvP so different? Devs need to look at that.
[Once again, I have no experience with PvP… only what i’ve read.]
and sorry if I may seem like i’m rambling. I’m only trying to get my gripes and concerns about how much more fun this game could be and why is isnt.
Thanks for reading. I suppose I should expect trolls now.
