To illustrate clearly my mindset here, because several in the comments are missing it: I don't care about specific balance and tuning in the beta. If it's weak because of specific number issues, or OP because of specific number issues, that's not what I'm really interested in. We're talking design, fantasy, mechanics, customisation. Balance will come and go, these things are permanent.

I found your take on it really interesting and I genuinely liked it while I may not agree with all of it, I also didn't get around to playing all it. Was mainly surprised to hear you play league of legends at some point I use to play was in Diamond-Master's elo but the game got a bit too low carry potential in my opinion especially with the amount of items they added in that had some form of low cd point and click high reward usage like playing any position reliant character while there was a prowler's claw in play :(

I agree with you about balancing numbers. That's whatever. But I want to quibble about one thing. You specifically say design, but design is the entire problem with most of them. I'm not talking about aesthetic design, I'm talking in terms of player agency and player choice. There are three very large things that aren't being discussed nearly as much as they ought to be. First, and most obnoxious, is how insular the traits are and how they miss the mark both ways - from the extreme Mechanist trait design of removing choice and synergy all together beyond the very basic dot or power damage to the exact opposite with the Untamed where you have a lot of trait choices but none of them are significant or change the way you play. The traits either don't synergize with the base classes or are too vague to really be build-arounds. These sort of insular trait issues are present in all nine of them, but these two are the most glaringly obvious. Secondly, a lot of the classes that can't see the forest from the trees - Vindicator, Catalyst, Specter - where the implementation of the class mechanic is convoluted. Flipping abilities is fine and good, but what is the benefit of it? To be more versatile? I can already switch everything about my character anywhere in the world. Combo fields are fun, but Elementalist already had a plethora of combo effects, so what does all of the Catalyst stuff do, precisely? The Specter having to target other is people potentially exciting, but having a buddy system all the time is not. Third, a lot of them are uninspired and don't actually change the base class enough to warrant elite specialization status. Virtuoso is just Greatsword Mesmer but the clones are now combo points. Willbender is just Guardian with mobility. Untamed is Greatsword Ranger but without enough extra steps to feel different. The Mechanist without the pet is actually significantly worse than just being an Engineer. The only ones that really feel well-iterated on are Bladesworn and Harbinger, where they do offer variety in trait selection, have new and obvious and unique mechanics, and actually build upon the base classes in a meaningful way. All of the others feel half-baked in some way and no one trusts Arena Net enough to put them back in the oven and fix them. That's the problem.

I have chronic migraines, making it difficult to do much in high-intensity game modes, which means that playstyles with low skill requirements are downright essential for my enjoyment. I consider myself a competent player, but I can't always put a ton of energy into the game because I just don't have the energy to give. As a result, Mechanist has been a godsend. I've been playing it constantly for the past three days, and even with all the clunkiness of the mech's AI it still feels incredible to me. It's even raid viable, with the alacrity/barrier build. I think the thing that needs some work on it is the mace; the mech itself is incredible.

On Mechanist: Every single Holosmith trait only effects Photon Forge as well
@engilaru
@engilaru 2 жыл бұрын
True, and I'd say Holosmith is worst of because of it. Nothing in Holosmith makes you use core skills differently, you just use them to fill the gaps in the Holo Forge gameloop. Holosmith is still fine though cause you can really engage with the forge. The mekanist however leaves the engineer with nothing new to do besides commanding their pet. Mace just brings the same play, but weaker, as both scrapper and Holosmith does with sword and hammer, and the only alternatives are core skills that functions just like they do on any elite spec. Mekanist needs something that makes us reevaluate rifle, pistol, toolkit, etc perhaps some interplay between the golem and the mekanist, like golem skills that cause lots of blast finishers, and thus the engineer want to make combo fields for it with mortar or bomb kit.

@@engilaru I don't think that elite specs "need" things that make us re-evaluate the base class. It's brilliant when it happens, and I'd always ask for it. But saying it's a "need" is totally wrong. Elite specs do not replace your profession, the influence of the core stuff is always there to interact with. E.g elixir S prime light beam type stuff. Holosmith is fantastic, the fact it can be cited as an example here proves exactly why direct interactions with old stuff isn't essential. (Holo does interact well with tools and it has an explosion component BTW)

@@WoodenPotatoes Lets not be pedantic about the word "need", thats not helpful at all. Sure the spec doesn't "need" to make everyone happy, or anyone for that matter, a spec doesn't have intrinsic "needs" unless we assign a purpose. In my opinion, the implied purpose for these specs is to be brilliant. As you said, it would be brilliant if it had it, so lets ask for it while we can. What we should do is recognize shortcomings and especially during a beta, look for ways to improve every elite spec to make them more apealing and enjoyable to a larger audience. Just because its fine doesn't mean it can't be better. Also I said Skills, not Traits. Holosmith doesn't make explosive skills different. It rides on explosive traits sure, but doesn't deliver anything back to the core skills. Even your example of Elixir S is the Elixir enhancing your ability to use the Holosmith stuff, not the other way around. Scrapper on the other hand has some interesting traits that inspires you to revisit old skills and see them in new light.

I think they have done a great job with the thief specializations. Daredevil, Deadeye, and Specter all have unique use cases and lots of mix and matching within the trait lines. For Specter, I'm quite excited to finally have a class to babysit new players with, and the thief is perfect for that. I can invite friends to the game and focus on making them have a ton of fun. Single target heals and barriers to keep them alive, stealth to help them escape, one-way portal to bring them to fun areas. I don't think there is another spec better for exploring open world with a new player/friend.

Agreed. If you play Catalyst like it's intended to be played (with hammer, Catalyst utility skills, F5 Jade Sphere, No: 3 skill upkeep) it's actually unplayable. Which is ironic right. The only way you can get it to do anything is to use core ele utility skills and none of the Catalyst skills, dagger/focus or dagger/dagger instead of Hammer, basically ignore the F5 and just take the aura synergy traits for flat stat boosts and that's as far as you can go with it. I'm excited but nervous to see what changes, or if any, they've made to it in the last beta.

They are very much RPG players at heart, but the selection of games is very narrow for them because of their limitations on the tasks they can execute. It has to be either extremely simple UI or turn-based/combat-pausing stuff and the latter obviously ain't an option in an MMO. The existence of specs like the minionmancer and now the mechanist makes me very happy, because I know there are people who are locked into that kind of playstyle due to physical limitations.

This one did a good job at grasping the concept of balance, in that it nerfed things to upgrade things, but each class seemed eh. Virtuoso just felt bad, like I was trading off the utility of a mesmer to deal damage. Specter thief seemed to be trading off a lot of utility to be able to do sustained damage and support. I liked willbender a lot, but it seemed to just want to trade stats for damage and mobility. I guess mobility is cool, but you dont play guardian for that. The new playstyles seemed to just be overlapping with other classes. Thief doesnt really play to be a support. Mesmer doesnt play to just be a damage stick. Guardian isnt cut out to be a mobility class. Just play thief, then. It just didnt seem that the elite specs are all that new. Just allowing classes to cross with each other

Great idea WP on the doing tier lists! I'd love to see how the elite specs stack up from the expansions! Now about the tier list for EOD...I know it's preference but I cannot agree with the rating for Virtuoso. Although I think some tweaks need to happen for the traits and cool downs, I had fun with the spec. Yes, the clones are gone and are a huge part of the mesmer class. However, it would be cool to amp up the skills with different weapons, not just dagger "clones". As for Catalyst, I hate to admit it since I main Ele, you are totally on point with the ranking. This spec was disappointing for me, primarily because of the jade sphere mechanic. Takes way too long to charge and lasts way too short. I can't get any benefit from the elemental fields since they don't last long and are completely stationary. I think the creature animations are great, but why can't they move with me? For me, Catalyst needs to most rework. (Longbow ele would've made more sense...). As for my top pick, it has to go to Mechanist. It was soooo much fun to play. The mace was meh, but the star here is the mech itself and the playstyle.

Interesting, when I played the beta I actually had alot of fun with the Virtuoso and a really bad time with the Bladesworn. I really couldnt get into the rhythm with the bladesworn but the virtuoso just worked out of the box for me. And as a longtime engi main Im sad to say that a pet class is basically the one thing I was hoping it wouldnt be :P. I was somehow hoping for like a mech suit or or exoskeleton or something like that^^

This is only with open world PVE in mind, I use all 9 classes regularly but ranger main. S Bladesworn, Mechanist, Vindicator A Untamed, Spectre B Virtuoso C Willbender D Harbringer, Catalyst F Bladesworn: Love the ammo synergies if you don't want to go all in on the dragon trigger burst, you don't have to. I was playing a sword/pistol shout build that felt super fun, and the gunblade was there like another new weapon with then the burst on top of that. It all felt really good. Mechanist: I never yearned for the golemancer archetype, but now that it's here I love it. Never liked power engi much but I'm having a blast ping ponging stuff around while golem goes ham, and the traits are super well done IMO. Reminds me of being a GW1 beastmaster Vindicator: GS felt like a mix of reaper and ranger GS, so it felt very good... Loved the dance between offense and defense. Mixed in shiro and sw/sw and I felt unstoppable in pve. Untamed: I LOVE the idea of a beastmaster focused spec. So I give them an A for the idea it's going for...execution at this moment of first beta is not on point. They need to get rid of the 10s cooldown from leashing/unleashing so that you can ACTUALLY go between CC/Defense into pay off for both you and pet. Also, I think the dmg/move speed grandmaster has a different internal CD than what it lists. It needs some tuning but give it some time and it will probably be my favorite ranger eSpec (my main) Spectre: absolutely love the shadow magic lean to it. I'm not a healer so I played it like a condi tank and it feels really good, it feels like there's a lot of aftercast they need to clean up but I think they're def. on the right track and if they put in some keybinds/UI improvements for healers they'll like it too. Virtuoso: Gets a B for the shift away from clones. Drops to B because the rest of the kit and traits feel pretty uninspired for an eSpec. Willbender: Not a fan of the f1 f2 f3 effects, they feel awkward to play around. a claw in the ground? Not a fan of only getting an offhand sword, and it felt very undertuned atm. AM a fan of the physical utility skills. Harbinger: yea it's good right now, but I think they completely dropped the design ball on an elixir using necromancer. Necro is one of my fav classes and I will probably not use this spec at all. What is the point of blight besides a balancing measure? Catalyst: I love the idea of it, love the idea of one of it's traitlines that lends itself to celestial gear (as I run core cele ele scepter/dagger) but overall...bleh. I think if they gave it weapon swap as an eSpec advantage it would solve a lot of hammer and overall issues with it.

I think they could rework Core Ranger so F5 was pet swat and F2 to F4 are pet abilities. Then make the F5 pet swap be replaced by the Elite Spec mechanics which are Celestial Avatar, Beastmode and Unleashed. Sure you would lose the F3 which commands pet back but you would make Core Ranger be more unique. Druid would not be effected as it is already about healing and generating 25 might stacks. Soulbeast could easily be added that when you leave Beastmode you would review your dead pet. Only Untamed would be effected and you could do something like ~15% less dmg when not unleased for the pet to make it more Tanky as you lose the "second life" with pet swap. Opinions to chance Ranger pet swap to F5 and be replaced by Elite Spec mechanics? Also I found Harbinger to be fun but Harbinger I think needs Green or Purple indagator over the HP bar similar how Barrier is done for better Blight feedback. You could stack that the Green goo is on top, barrier comes under it and last is your HP. Now you would get visual feedback how much blight you have. As it is currently your HP just scales and you see full hp bar. This makes you disconnect the blight as bunishing mechanic what I played Harbinger for few hours in PvE

I have some disappointments with the spec as it looks rn in terms of limited utility because of all you lose with the tool belt slots but I do agree that having a really strong pet and a low intensity overall spec is good and important. One of the things I like most about the GW2 community is that it does take the time to promote things like LI builds and having like a cool flashy new spec that's really made that way from the ground up, without having to go look up a whole particular build on metabattle or something. Ty for continually mentioning the importance of accessibility!

I think it'd be fun to see your tier lists for the other elite specs and then sort of a competition between them all. Since I view tier lists as personal opinion anyways its fun hearing people explaining their reasoning behind their choices or reasoning things out since it offers another perspective. I'll admit I haven't played much of the betas as it seemed like the prior weeks ended up busy for one reason or another. Second one especially between the trendmicro firewall issue and then having a wedding to attend to. I wanted to see catalyst without the insane cooldown/recharge rates, but I'll just accept people's general disappointments for now since I was already leery of them having buffed abilities while in the field. The concept seemed really cool and I liked the creatures created in the circles. For this beta I made a ranger and engineer so far. I haven't taken the ranger for a spin yet as I wanted to at least read the weapon and utility skills alongside the trait lines. Unleashed feels a little wonky to me in that it feels like you want to focus on pets and utility skills that promote CCing opponents since if you're unleashed with a hammer then the skills gain bonuses for hitting them from what I recall. It feels a little counterintuitive though when, if you're unleashed you gain CC and it seems like the pet does as well. If the pet gained those skills when you're in powered up hammer mode that would be some nice synergy, but instead you'll have to cross check your pet's regular skills. I think it's really neat though that we can finally control those because I do like pets that bring some hard CC, but it makes it hard to count on it entirely for breakbars so I only somewhat count them in that regard. I do really like the idea of enhancing the pet and building upon it since we've seen a spec with the removal of it/boosting self with them (and I did like getting to use their skills personally as well as a unique skill). However since Soulbeast did give us that added customization of a unique skill per type of pet I would've liked to see something like that as well. I also need to take a second look at the pet in an unleashed vs leashed state because the heal isn't my favorite in that you zap health from the pet - definitely not something I'd use on a lower vitality pet and in fact I prefer when my heal can help keep a pet alive longer in case a foe is chunking them faster than the swap can come off cooldown. Engi though. I had only a vague idea of what I was doing, but after giving myself a dragon jade mace and a priory shield, painting them in some gadgeteer outfit in gold and green to match my robot I was off. Only a vague idea of what I was doing, but it was fun. I had to reread some of the traits, but I'm impressed that it seemed like each set wasn't just about the action the robot friend had, but also some other abilities. The first seemed to change it's primary playstyle in general as well as range, the second set seemed focused on stat enhancements, and the third I don't fully remember beyond it adding some neat extra abilities (like playing off the explosive line or adding orbital strikes when stashed, sorry middle trait). As a theme too I really like it and it almost feels like engineer's seen some neat growth from immobile turrets to whirling gizmos to now a whole robot. In some ways its similar to FF14's machinist since they get a robot at 80, but I can't hold it against gw2 engi either because it feels like an eventuality for any mechanically based job in a game and I think they managed a really neat design - PLUS ITS CUSTOMIZABLE. That alone is super cool to me. Mace also felt really fun to me, but I like having a gap closer with a reasonable cooldown on it. I just need to build some stability into it and I think I could see myself running around on it quite a bit. As a whole though it's been kind of fun spawning into LA after making a character and seeing people test skills out - nothing like being healed while I'm reading over utilities or traits XD

I've always felt that the new specializations should synergize with existing trait lines in some way. I didn't feel that any of these new specializations did that : they felt incomplete. Instead I got the impressions they were trying to see if the dual class system of Guild Wars 1 would work with Guild Wars 2 systems, realized it was impossible and went with the next best thing which was blending abilities in to new and surprising combinations. The lack of synergy really makes these new traits sort of float on their own in a way that separates them from the class they're apart of and I think that is something they should look in to. Guild Wars 2 runs like porridge through a coffee filter for me due to bottle neck issues with my pc but I would never want the game AI to be playing for me; I understand your sentiment though - particularly for people with physical limitations. I think pet classes like Necromancer, Ranger and now Mechanist could really do with some tweaking not to the power of the pets or the AI but to the controls so people who rely on their pets due to real life limitations don't have to feel like they aren't using any of their own skills.

Then again, they also had the most time to be reworked, so maybe that is a point in their favor.

I ended up trying Viper's Virtuoso and that felt the most fun to me (though the block build was fun too). The self stacking blades - to me felt closer to what i considered the fantasy: A psionic bladesinger. The fantasy does seem a little too spread out but i like the idea of a bard/ bladesinger that conjures up psychic blades as part of their songs. I just wish there was more of an idea of the song/ bard aspect. The F4 felt a little closer to that and so did the utility: Blade Renewal - where they were channels that did stuff over time. Also Catalyst would have been D for me. Love the idea - hate how it was executed.

S: Bladesworn, Mechanist, A: Specter B: Vindicator C: Untamed, Willbender D: Virtuoso, Catalyst, Harbinger I think aside from the top 3, this generation of elite specs just feel so unambitious. When I think elite specs, I think of them adding insanely cool new mechanics entirely. Stuff like scourge completely changing how you use Life Force. Or Soulbeast merging you with your pet and giving you your pet's bonuses instead. Or Chronomancer giving you the ability to reset your cooldowns. Or holosmith giving you a kit with an overheating meter you have to watch. Or Deadeye giving you a rifle and giving you a running mode and a stationary sniping mode to manage. Or firebrand having tomes with pages. Or druid giving you insane healing potential the likes of which we had never seen at that point. Too many elite specs are just crowbarring in permanent team quickness and alacrity because apparently everything needs permanent quickness and alacrity now, and too few are actually revolutionizing how you play the game. Catalyst doesn't feel like it truly adds anything new, it just adds a new AoE field but nothing about that AoE field is exciting. Tempest the overcharges are crazy cool all of them. Weaver gave us sword and the fusing of elements was something new and unique. It kind of goes to show that Catalyst didn't get a traditional payoff in terms of how underbaked it feels. Harbinger is lame because they could have gone really deep into the movie monster thing again and this time given us a sort of Jekyll and Hide elite spec for the necromancer. Rather than shroud you drink an elixer that is like a mini transformation like Rampage where you're still you but you're monstrous. Which would be a good way for them to justify a squishier but very fast necromancer. Then have the elixirs swap functionality based on whether you are in monster mode or not, if you aren't you drink them. If you are transformed you throw them as AOE on the ground for debilitating effects on enemies. Almost like Glyphs. The name is also there; the Mortician. I think that would have been incredibly cool. Harbinger shroud doesn't have a really strong unique theme over core shroud. Like reaper just gave you a different shroud but the theme itself as this grim reaper is SO cool and strong thematically. This is the first time a necro elite spec isn't full on S Tier in terms of cool factor. Virtuoso is especially disappointing as my main. I really wanted a cloneless mesmer, something that feels less like a hilariously gaudy magician, and more direct mental and sabotage orientated like GW1 mesmer. I think the blades thing is a good proof of concept that you can remove clones and have them be something else. But at the end of the day it doesn't feel different enough, if anything it just feels like it removed all the flavor of mesmer with no new flavor in return. Clones and blades are ultimately little more than ammo and it doesn't fundamentally change summon clones / blades > shatter. They could have done something where instead of shatters you hex people which marks them, sort of like Deadeye's Mark, and then every time you would have summoned a clone it instead makes the hex stronger and stronger. And then you aren't just thinking about skills that generate clones and how you need 3 for your shatter, you're looking at weapons and utilities and ways to make the most clones possible you could because there's theoretically no end to the benefit of them. Also it'd feel different since you'd open with the F skill and then start casting the skills that used to summon clones after that. That was my write up on the forums years ago called the Psychomancer. Functionality Virtuoso was just unviable in PvP. Dagger just doesn't have the tools to succeed as a ranged weapon. Like compare ranger longbow or deadeye rifle. Both of them have damage skills that are good at any range, they have ways to keep enemies away and they also have answers for when an enemy actually does get in range. Virtuoso dagger is just damage, damage, damage but you have absolutely zero tools outside of that and no offhand choice gets you to the level of well roundedness as ranger longbow or deadeye rifle. It was also hilarious seeing 5 blade bladesongs not even hit close to as hard as 1 clone core mesmer shatters, thanks CMC. Virtuoso also felt especially bad because it just didn't offer anything that already exists on mesmer that doesn't already exist. It could have been an opportunity to give mesmer lots of super speed, or revealed, or chilled (Think of a trait called Brain Freeze), or stability, or poison, or healing, or Fear. Aegis wasn't great because you don't want to be in a position as a squishy caster where people are even targeting you, like fresh air ele. And the quickness on dodge wasn't good because by the time you finish dodging that quickness you gained is half gone anyway. They took the most flavorful caster in the game and turned it into the single most vanilla spellcaster I have ever seen. Bladesworn and Mechanist are without a doubt the coolest elite specs this generation even ignoring any tuning aspect and on par with any of the previous generations best elite specs. Bladesworn does need some stuff worked out, like Dragon Trigger putting Weapon Swap on cooldown. The damage numbers are disappointing in PvP too but that feels far more fixable compared to the Catalyst or Virtuoso. Mechanist is so crazy strong that I think the thing could have held its own during Path of Fire release in PvP. Specter is also super super cool, but I didn't care for the shroud at all. I only used it for the broken AF Consume Shadows trait. I loved condi and support Specter, tho. And then there's the also-rans. Vindicator is okay. Not crazy about it but the Dragoon leap is cool AF. Though to be fair I'm not crazy about rev in general. Untamed should have different Unleashed beast skills based on the kind of pet you have. Giving every pet all new skills is probably asking too much, but I think following Soulbeast's pet classifications of Stout, Deadly, Ferocious, Versatile, and Supportive would be enough. Willbender is just ehhh. I don't really feel how this thing is unique from the power revs we've seen for like half a decade now.

The question that will stick for Specter is "why would I choose this over FB or Scourge?"
