GW2 Ele

[RedArrow]

Just found a GW2 preview release in my email.
Check the Elementalist preview...www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/elementalist/

Yeah, and the ele videos are pretty kick ass!

Some additional information from over there:

* 10 skills on the skill bar
* 5 skills are weapon dependent
* 1 skill is a self heal
* non-weapon dependent skills on the skillbar are race dependent
* 5 Races
* Professions are limited to certain weapons. i.e. No rifle for a monk.
* 8 professions
* Cannot have dual profession. No more wa/mo, el/mo.
* Combat is location dependent. "To reinforce the importance of movement in the game, we want your character's position in combat to really matter. You'll see a lot of attacks in Guild Wars 2 that encourage and reward tactical player movement and positioning."

The full list of standard wieldable weapons in Guild Wars 2 is as follows:

One-Handed: Axe, dagger, mace, pistol, scepter, and sword.

Two-Handed: Greatsword, hammer, longbow, rifle, shortbow, and staff.

Offhand only: Focus, shield, torch, and warhorn.

Cool, guns are an interesting touch, I'm going to assume those would be the jurisdiction of rangers in guild wars 2?

[RedArrow]

Will be kinda strange having guns I think

[Ascalon Destroyer]

I think I agree with Red that guns would be pretty weird. Though I guess we play in a world with magic and various creatures.... but suspension of disbelief can only go so far!

On the whole, all of the information released in the past few days is very exciting. Granted, we still havent seen anything and as far as we know there's no upcoming release date planned.

Welp with the way it has gone with the release I can't help but think the game will be just as promised... production and devs have not given into backers and book keepers inorder to meet The Bottom Line persay.
GW2 should be pretty darn cool when we finally do get to install and open it up.
Meanwhile 2 weeks from today I pick up and load up my Penske trailer and point it west till I see the ocean gunna settle in there and work on a couple more titles till release.

[Fate]

Good luck on the move red.

[Xaja]

Ah, it's the perfect time of year for the ocean too, have fun Red
