I think the stuff in the current beta is solely what you can access with the Use Any Weapon In Any Spec change: the other changes aren't going to be previewed until q4 2023 or later.

Grey Cat posted:I saw that some of the info is viewable for some of the new skills, just wasn't sure how extensive it was. New skills that are previewable are the ones you'll get from elite spec weapons no longer being locked to only elite specs and how the class mechanics will be expanded with having access to those weapons. Not the new weapons they will be getting in a later release of the expac.

Devs confirmed that legendary rune havers will be compensated under the new relic systemhttps://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/132493-will-relics-invalidate-legendary-runes/page/5/#comment-1924790 posted:Hey all, I want to give you a quick response on this since it's of interest to so many of you! We're working on some more in-depth information to share with you, but in the meantime I can let you know that we are aware of your concerns that the Relics mechanic devalues Legendary Runes. We want to make sure we address those concerns, and we're finalizing a plan to compensate those of you who spent time and energy acquiring those Legendary Runes.

VanillaGorilla posted:I always get kind of mildly interested in GW2 when news happens (particularly as we’re getting into the slow part of the summer), but as someone who has basically not played since launch…what is the new player experience like these days? It’s pretty easy to just pick up and play. Even in terms of the endgame if you dont like difficult stuff there’s a lot of “strikes”, like mini-raids usually comprised of a single boss battle, that give disproportionately big rewards for how easy they are

logging back in and trying to figure out what I was doing previously and whats new is always a trip turns out I was 90% of the way to legendary wvw medium armour, thank god I didnt complete it considering the obsidian armour is on the way. could get the mist infusion and either keep it or sell it

The WvW infusion is account-bound if you buy it from the vendor. I'd expect the open world legendary set to be as grindy as all the others. It's almost certainly worth your while to finish off one WvW set, then pick up the other two sets elsewhere.

I'd definitely just finish the WvW if you're 90% there. You can always do them in parallel, depending on how much time you have to play.

Elementalists are not mages in this game. Also, power weaver has a very straightforward rotation and is currently strong. At least in PvE.

Sword/Warhorn Catalyst is extremely cool. All four elements in Sword have a finisher, and sphere and warhorn combined give you an abundance of combo fields. Definitely feels a lot more freeform and less frantic than hammer too since you don't need to worry about Grand Finale, and you have a tremendous amount of survivablity, especially if celestial. I also can agree Hammer Tempest is cool, since overloads are a bit less frantic on the rotation than sphere is.

So using hammer as a non-untamed ranger lets you customize which skills you want. I hope that's a sign of things to come (i.e. alternate skills for other weapons)  Also lol if this makes the other specs better at using hammer simply for being less unwieldy

Hammer is sweet. That’s all. These changes are awesome because I love weapons differently than the specs they are in pretty often.

Hammer weaver seems like it could be a lot of fun, particularly with a hybrid power/condi build. Maybe it could make grieving stats work, since it has a lot of built-in defense.

Mercurius posted:I’m excited for Hammer Tempest so I can use the Mjolnir skin I made ages ago on it. It is fun, the overloads seem to 'fit' with the hammer range most of the time, though they need to change the animation to leave the hammer in your hand when using air tempest overload.

The only weapon that seems like a dud outside its spec is ranger staff, and I might even be missing something there. At the very least it has one of the best movement skills attached to a weapon, in addition to other utility. Edit: just read an idea for a staff/staff untamed that spams the ambush for heals/prot/quickness, so even that's got potential for some fun jank gandlethorpe fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Jun 30, 2023 |

I've seen staff used on druids in wvw as an escape weapon (1200 dash + projectile block wall + immob/chill/cripple removal), so I could see it being used on untamed as a swap weapon.

Meowywitch posted:I just want to be a witch. Whichever class is the witchiest. Necro? Harbinger, Scourge, Reaper are kinda witchy. Power Reaper is super strong and cozy. Can’t go wrong there. Harbinger is arguably closest to a witch class. It's a witch class with guns. They brew elixirs. That's pretty witchy. You also could argue Druid is "earth-witchy" but, unless you're playing DPS Druid, I cannot in good faith recommend going down that rabbit hole.

Play an engineer. Dress up like a witch and pretend the mechanist golem is a familiar. It's very cool and good. Spectre is kind of witchy, as are necros, especially harbinger with potions if that's your thematic jam.

Here's a fairly recent video about a witchy class, Harbinger. Looks like a fun, high-damage, condition build using dagger, pistol, and tons of elixirs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4D5Ud-LYCg No idea how the latest patch updates will impact this, though. Everything is kind of up in the air balance-wise.
