Which class would you like to be reworked next?

[Reilath.8064]

As the title says, which class would you like to get a rework next?

Guardians got some pretty nice staff skill reworks and i hope they will continue to do skill reworks for other classes too.

Since i mostly play PVE and sometimes WvW i think thief should get his shortbow reworked, especially his second skill Cluster Bomb, they should remove the (detonation part) of the skill so you're able to tag mobs faster and in more places.

The second skill, this time from Dual daggers should be Death Blossom, that skill is cool looking but is somewhat useless (small aoe, max 3 targets) and should be replaced with something that should make dual daggers viable in pve (especially tagging more mobs).I was thinking a whirlwind skill like the Thief's Dagger storm but only melee, and to be honest it would look sick with dual Incinerator's.

With more aoe's this should allow Thiefs to be more viable in wvw, especially since there are 3 classes that are "meta" in WvW atm, and those are Scourge, Firebrand and Spellbreaker, and i find that just unfair.

These are the changes i'd like for the developers to make, but this is from a PVE player's point of view, what do PVPers think about this?

I also wish they made some changes to ranger's Longbow/axe and Necromancer's scepter skills, especially ranger, not having Ranger in a WvW meta is kinda unthinkable to me..

Scrapper. The spec that might as well not exist in the game at this point.

I don't think it's a thing in PvE (and probably spvp) but heal/superspeed scrapper does what it sets out to do in WvW.

 

D:

[derd.6413]

death magic and necro's defense in general

[Tails.9372]

Critical Strikes and how it relates to both signets and pistols / harpun guns.

[Blood Red Arachnid.2493]

The top two are Scrappers and Tempests. Tempests because it is a support spec with terrible support options, and scrapper because it has no idea what it is supposed to be and "tank" was thrown on later when people complained about that fact.

[Schnuschnu.9857]

Core Engi, Core Necro and Traps on all classes in general. Make them traps, not generic aoes. Do something interesting with them.

Sure people found a use for it, but a more unifying vision for the Scrapper e-spec would be beneficial.

 

1. Scrapper.

2. Renegade.

3. Chronomancer. (For those raiders complaining about Chrono meta.)

[otto.5684]

Elite specs that need rework in order of nesessity:

 

Scrapper

Renegade

Tempest

 

 

[Reilath.8064]

Holosmith made Scrapper obsolete, the same goes with other Specs.

The whole elite spec system backfired on them (or better said, backfired on us players), and it made the game just more unbalanced and harder to balance, That whole system should be changed.

Locking the new weapons behind a spec wall is a huge mistake on their part, and it should be removed, making every elite spec weapon usable immediately after reaching lvl 80, but that's just me talking unrealistically because of the extra skills, f1, f2 , f3.. etc.

The only way to fix that is to make a fourth tier Trait that lets you choose which specs (f1-f2 etc) you want to use..

I still can't believe they went back to rework Herald spec, but that leaves us with hope that they may do the same with Scrapper and other HoT expansion specs.

[Neutra.6857]

Not a spec but wish they would work on ranger pets.

[Tzarakiel.7490]

Others might disagree, but I find half the traits on dragonhunter to be useless or uninspiring. No matter what traits I pick the effect on how I play it is almost nonexistent.

[Alin.2468]

Every profession needs rework. The whole game needs rework. All forms of PvP are dead because of bad balance for 6 years.

[Lucius.2140]

Deadeye, is screaming for a reworking. =)

No 6, since 2015, the pvp grypes before were rewards and game modes.

[Xenon.4537]

Mesmer scepter and greatsword rework.

 

 

[zealex.9410]

Thief, i think for te class to be easier to balance and more ejgagimg to play the innitiative system needs a rework.

reworked =/= buffed

[Odinius.9826]

Ranger!, I just really would like to play my ranger wielding a badass longbow and not see all the other bow-wielding classes getting all the cool new skills.

Maybe a Bowmaster elite spec which wields a greatbow with skills you can customise (swap in and out)((or 2 new bowtypes only bowmasters can wield so you get 10 new skills)) and also extra bowskills in the utility slots + elite slot.

I wanna pew pew pew :(

Errr... you can. LB is a perfectly viable weapon weapon for Rangers. The only times it is not ideal is when **all** ranged weapons are in a similar position - that's down to the game's mechanics, not Ranger being shafted.

 

Other bow-wielding classes 'getting all the cool new skills'? Please elaborate because Ranger LB has been in a pretty solid state for a long time now. DH LB is a wet noodle, Thief SB is a for mobility/utility, Renegade SB is niche option but okay. The only other class to use a bow as well as Ranger is Warrior.

[Tekoneiric.6817]

I'd like to see the engineer get a weapon mod kit that would provide alternate functions on weapons and put it where the weapon swap is since the profession doesn't have weapon swap.

Nerfs made scrapper obsolete, it was only good for holding points in PVP to begin with and then Anet nerfed it due to whining. Also scourge happened.
