Frustration

the HoT and PoF specs remain far over powered in comparison to core classes. ANET said that the specializations would be a different but not superior way to play a given class. That has not been the case.

 

ANET needs to tone down ALL the non core specs. The sales push for PoF is over.

I think there is a reason to pick core Warrior over Berserker and Spellbreaker, but yes I do agree for Engi and Mesmer (Their elite specs are COMPLETE upgrades/vertical progression)

 

Can't speak for Ele, Ranger, Guard, Necro, and Thief. Those classes have a grey area around them.

What build do you play exactly? Maybe I'll play some pvp again if I can have your build and see if I can make it work. I played core pretty successfully on multiple classes against HoT and PoF with players at "my level".

I think I'd probably throw Ranger in the Engi/Mesmer category. I have never seen a viable core build that was on par with Druid or Soulbeast.

Ithilwen exclusively plays core mesmer.

Tone down Berserker? That's a stretch. Core Warrior is in many ways equal to Spellbreaker. Without Tether it probably would be better.

And toning down Daredevil and Deadeye would make Core Thief rather dominant.

If you mean buff Core Mesmer/Engi/Ele/Rev, I get it.
