Thoughts on the new spear skills and upcoming beta event - eviltoast

Hey Folks, I just want to know what your thoughts are about the new spear skills, which Anet streamed on friday.

I have mixed feelings about the skills and desinges they showed. To be fair some classes are getting unique effects and a new type of gameplay but I think some skills seem to be overtuned in terms of competitve gameplay not to mention the graphic effects some skills have. I´m curious what the beta-event might feel like. Maybe the new skills will be balanced or getting balanced later on (most likely after the beta). For me as an Ele-Main I like the skills I got but I can understand the discomfort for people playing their class not getting the skills or playstyles they wanted.

What do you think about the new skills? Do you like their desing and gameplay? And are you satisfied with the skills your mainclass will get?

    Ranger might be my second pick right after Ele. The theme around Petsprits as weapon are kinda cool

      Ele is definitely cool looking, too. I just don’t vibe with ele in general as much as ranger I think. I’ve always been more into doing one element in games so the GW2 ele was never quite my jam with all the switching.

        Yeah the switching between elements is a hard thing to do properly. With a spear this is getting even more harder considering the buffs and utility you get to maxime your damage and handle your defense and the same time.
