It was interesting that water was basically just heals, but when it can swap elements that quickly I can see why they sort of cover a field each.

Considering all 2 handed weapons deal AoE damage and the longbow on most classes has a ton of AoE effects the AoE the ele has access to isn't that much of a big deal

Hopefully that doesn't make the PvE too easy. With how the AI currently looks, most mobs would end up luck to even touch you.

To be fair the PvE that has been shown is mostly from the starter zone, the highest level PvE from the open beta was the easiest dungeons at level 30 (the cap is 80).

I'd expect it to not be the same as it would be at release anyway. I suppose the AoE fits in with the more fluid playstyle or something.

Not sure I like the elementalist much... cementing going necro first methinks.

Minion masters are so cool though!

Blood daggers also looks to be a good build though.

Its pretty cool how the necro gets the whole pet army thing.

Do the pets all die when the necro goes into downed state?

As mesmer illusions don't die when you are downed I don't think so, when you're defeated they do die though.

Ahk.

Seems like the mesmers illusions dieing when the target does is a bit annoying. At least for pve stuff.

I think apart from the guardian, mesmer is the class I'd really like to have a go at.

The first video nicely spotlights how organic the Guild Wars 2 play experience is, they didn't get a quest to find this cave they simply found it.

I love Guild wars, I played it one to many hours. I am a bit tired that when I look it up (every so often) that there still is no release date. It feels like I've been waiting for over a decade now.
When I was playing Guild Wars Eye of the North I always, always wanted to play a Norm. I am really glad the races are available now.

This is the only game I've looked forward to in years. I liked the first Guild Wars, but I feel it lacked something (to be fair, I never played any of the expansions). Guild Wars II looks like it has it all though.

It 'looks' pretty epic. Though I have to admit I am very weary about the outcome.
Sure Aion looked really pretty quality wise, but I do have a fear Guild Wars II
will fail being as compelling in comparison with the games it has to compete with when
it will be released.

What does it have to compete with MMO wise? SW:TOR and WoW?

Man, I'm so looking forward to this, knowing that I won't get in the beta.

Arenanet are hoping to stress-test the servers to the point of crashing them so I'd remain hopeful about getting in.

Being able to play properly is another thing entirely.

Man, if I get in the Beta, I wouldn't be able to choose what to do. Start the Charr story or go into PvP?

I think if I got in I would probably pvp mostly, then enjoy the story lines when the game is out.
