It's astonishing SE actually managed to repeat the class-exclusivity mistake once again.

It wasn't SE, it was the community. But yes this sucks. Until 1.2 at least when they supposedly revamp abilities.

honestly you could say it was SE if you consider it a balance issue.

having said that it still isn't really SE's fault since you'd be a complete idiot to expect them to be able to get something so complex as this perfectly done with the first try, or even the tenth try. balance is an ongoing thing in almost every situation.

It's not an issue of player preference, it's just what people have to do because the mp cost on cures makes in nearly impossible to heal a tank and the other DDs without running out of mp in about 5 minutes or so.

Even then, Marauders and Pugilists (and anyone else really for that matter) can heal themselves. Bloodbath + Victimize or Maim grants a good deal of health. Second Wind is decent for 250 TP. Even Cure/Sacrifice works for close-range DD classes. I mean the mages aren't the only ones who can heal, the least people can do is try to take care of themselves where possible.

Looks like GW 2 is going to be a amazing game, since you dont need to worry about tank/healer/dd setups. Just saying!

I care. I TOTALLY care

As far as this fight goes, just be glad the playerbase at large doesn't realize yet that MRD makes a much better tank than GLA currently or GLA would be completely put out of a job on this one.
MRD can come as tank or DD whereas GLA can only fill that 1 tank spot. Every other class can fill their role nicely and there's generally more than one 'slot' for 'em.

Like others, this isnot happening on our server. O.o And you really could just make your own PT. ;)

I think they did fairly well in comparison to Darkhold. Everyone gets some love (damage) this time around. Mages are running for their lives along with the DD (ranged or melee) this time around unless positioned right. Sure some classes do more DD this time around but I think the fight is manageable with any stack right now. Still have to have the classics like a tank and some healers but the healers can easily be converted for use as damage if need be and Marauder is still a viable choice for DD/Tanking duties. If you can't DD it fast then you gotta bring more healers...if you can DD it fast then you gotta watch hate or you drain your healers fast. It's all about positioning and balancing out your group and executing correctly from what I see.

There are no jobs yet.
