Honestly if they dissolved shortbow and chose to infuse the four abilities across the grenades, bomb, and mortar kits where you can mix and match kits to be either power, condi, or support depending itd be an amazing concept. Hell add in more pools that chain and spread em through the medkit and elixir gun as well. You'd create a reason to mix and match kits and create a unique play style. This on a single weapon? It's kitten.

The chain effect could be cool. But personally I think it'd be cool to rework into the bomb kit or the mortar kit. Hell maybe both. They would benefit greatly from the rework and setting bombs down in melee range so you can benefit from the boons as well seems way better, plus since it's explosive it would also have synergy with the explosives trait line. Then just go an entirely new direction with the short bow

I was optimistic but this is trash and the devs knew it, they spent like triple the time on every other weapon and awkwardly laughed/rushed through the presentation of engi. You can always tell when ppl aren't proud to show off something and this was one of those times, It's sad really.

Oooooh I like this for the scrapper support build

I just want it to be smooth. Not clunky like the rifle and not random janky elemental attacks go as the dual pistol. Just a simple/smooth gameplay feel with a clear design concept in mind that they execute well. Btw I want to like dual pistols but the poison, bleed, fire, electric, sticky bullets GO! attacks are just so goofy imo.

One of my solutions does work, having one more race allows me to have 2 classes belonging to each of the three armor types. Sure I don't have access to 3 of the total 9 classes but I've played to 80 with every class and have tried almost every spec so I'd be happy having just the 6 characters. This is all fluff anyways I don't actually expect any solutions to a nonsensical personal grief I just find it amusing that the 9 classes to 5 races don't really allow for an even spread of different characters. You either gotta have an uneven amount of classes to races or an uneven amount of races to classes.

I got plenty of slots just don't like the uneven races to classes thing. I could easily make every class but the way I would go about doing that would be two of each race, both genders, for each class and the fact that I would have one gender missing out of one race on that roster kills me so I don't do it. Listen I know it's unreasonable and senseless but it's just how my brain works.

Necroing this just to scream into the void about why I personally want a new race and because I play this game solo so I have no outlet otherwise. It isn't for the lore or because I just want another race to play or any of that, but because the current 5 races to 9 classes scheme frustrates me to no end! It can't be divided up in any sensible way! One race per class? no. Two of each race assigned to one class each? no. One race each but divided evenly between the classes armor groups? nope. It's killing me that I have a character of each race right now and its: light armor classes: 2 medium armor classes: 2 heavy: 1 Either make another class, so I can be mad at the uneven armor groupings but happy with having 2 of each race filling out every class, or make another race so I can have the last character fit into a more easily sorted scheme.

I personally would like them to revamp the core areas and perhaps make a new story mode for new characters on next expansion. Let the old story be selectable like the living stories and have the default just pick up in the current time and let the new players play the new core tyria with the old players. With the way they gave raptor to everyone it shouldn't be that much of a problem and the playerbase is pretty kind so new players won't have too much of a hard time keeping up. This would also allow for a new race to be implemented rather easily since they could just go without adding all the previous dialogue, just have them be a seer race or something watching the life of "the commander" through some mystic race ability and while you look different you just choose a diff races VA for those parts. Have it be part of the new races choose your story or something. Content wise I'd just like them to focus on revamping the core professions and weapons, so many have fell out and I'd like some usability, give me my conjure weapon elementalist pls. Edit: OH also fix revenants broken core story lmao. So many parts you just gotta auto since your energy system breaks in multiple parts of the core story.

Honestly I think Sylvari makes the most sense especially if you are playing through the core story. The dream could very well be an actual place between tyria and the mists. Plus the dream teaches your profession to you before you are "born" so being the first rev, but not having a name for the things you do and magic you use, for it to later be discovered by Rytlock makes a certain amount of sense canonically.

Wasn't meant to show philosophy just "design commentary" I see what you did there. Never meant to explain any perceived thought behind the balances just to take more words to say the same exact thing. Very crafty, should look into politics.

I think they'll give the banners a 20% boost to dps for either mechanist or firebrand (depending on the type of banner) so we can hold the banners near the favored specs and help them be better.

Guess I'll just delete my warrior and roll a firebrand or mechanist. Really don't wanna deal with nerfs ever again and something tells me that these two are favored by the balance team.

I mean we kinda want that in my opinion, if they kill the main strengths of warrior they are forced to look at warrior as a whole. Then we can actually focus on what's wrong with warrior. Ive made 3 warriors got them all to 80 one lvled from 1-80 strictly through pvp. I love this profession but there is something off while playing it. It is stagnant, even the newest of the elite specs are from like core gw2. Just unresponsive and weak in utility. Kitten, lik engineer I love to death but they have like a million different ways to negate dmg with just core and warrior has literally just their heal. We need something, anything but we might need the meta warrior to die for us to solve anything.

I think they should make the banners super uninspired and alac or quickness giving. Let them tank the profession into the ground. Maybe then they'll take a look at revamping the profession as a whole, It needs some update.
