Yeah, mesmer doesnt have a great track record for using weapons like they're meant to. On a sidenote tho, lets hope we get spear skins in the style of the bardiche or naginata so that slicing makes a little more sense
Finally another condi weapon for revenants, other long range for meleementalists and short range for mesmers. Anet is paying more attention to details this time. All spears, out of the 3 trailers, look amazing! I just hope this expansion has breathking maps just like the path of fire and heart of thorns ones because for me, the true quality of gw2, out of all of them, is still the exploration.
I don't think visual cluster is going to be an issue - you can already make effects from other players almost transparent, if you don't toggle this on, you won't be see through Virtuoso's purple barf anyway
Rev melee spear! IDK how efficient it will be but I am happy that I can at least in principle do the Vindicator Dragoon thing. Dragooning fully enabled.
I love how Mesmer and Rev animations are crisp, but bro, why in the eternal alchemy Ele is casting a giant AOE of death around itself and then making a biden blast, there is no flow in that animation, lol. Great stuff anyway, keep them comming Teapot
The lack of dedicated ranged damage (i.e everyone is always melee) will continue to be the case forever no matter how much they design weapons to be effective at range. Boons are responsible for 50-60% of your damage and 99% of them are applied in a small area around the provider. They need to just bite the bullet and make all boons apply everywhere at 1500 range so they can go back to designing actual abilities and weapons and skills.
Since we basically have this system since launch, the only good step Anet took was giving herald 600 radius on their boons, I completely agree that Anet should bite the bullet and just give every boon at least 600-800 range just for some juice up in endgame. I could imagine new strats coming up since no one is forced to kiss each others butts while stacking.
@@themaniac8596 i would go a step further. since amplifying boons exist 24/7 in a fight, they should just remove boons completely and change any classes abilities to assume they have quickness and alacrity, bc if you have all boons at any time (might, fury, quick, alac) its like you dont have any. then they only need to increase the range of healing effects (even if for pve only) and keep utility stuff like boon removal, stability and aegis as "precise button presses" that are not on your character at all times
@@firby7341 this is actually a very good thought. Relying on boons really strangled the game and diminished their meaning totally. In interaction with power creep, being buffed all the time, elite specs etc combat evolved into a much higher pace. While some abilities have high impact, which is okay, it always boiled down to: who strikes first! And that led to a situation where some abilities really lost their relevance. Pacing of the combat is too high... and so on...
Yeah I am glad some people agree with me on this. Not having proper ranged damage is the main thing that sent me back to WoW after I had quit it for 5 years. I just missed my mage too much and nothing in GW2 scratches that itch. I’ll still play both games but I am really waiting for more interesting casters in GW2. Spear is a great step toward it though!
i kinda wonder if the new soecial effects is also the reason they gave ability to turn off ally effects a while back - if these are only gonna show for the user and not to other ppl, then they can go absolute ham (not that ham) with the visual effects
Staff air looks terrible, scepter air is okay but nothing to write home about, pistol air is trash (which is fine, it is condi focused after all). Finally something properly ranged and good looking for air and lightning.
after 1 month with ele spear i can say i cant see the red rings that mobs spawn :( i m hoping they ll add some modifiers to change the rings color on mobs. As much as i like the spear i m considering to go back to hammer
i wonder if we will get a new legendary spear. they havnt made any legendary underwater weapons sinice gen 1 but i also dont even know if the spear skins will be the same
They already answered both your questions. The existing skins can be used on land and with the second patch comes a new legendary spear. Also all new coming black lion weapon skins will contain a spear skin.
I'd imagine it must be another alacrity, unless they want to relive the original chronomancer days and have Mesmer as the only class that can do quick and alac at the same time 😅 (or change the staff alacrity trait to another boon or condition).
They must pay you really good to get that excited about a spear lol. I'm sure the whole expansion is centered around some kind of demonic goat that can only be killed using that special spear.
Ele regular here, mainly tempest. Nah, I'm not really happy with it, because being ranged doesn't help as much as you would think, because the game revolves around sharing boons, which is melee range anyhow. so I don't see the point of playing a ranged weapon when you need to be on top of your group anyhow. Weapon is cool, but doesn't change anything.
Ok so i agree it is very flashy and it looks like skills that could be fun actually. But i still have not seen any movement skill. That Ele did not even take a one single step forward. All other classes have been drowned in this in both EoD and ahead. I mean even Necro is more about movement now. As a WvW player movement skills are insanely important and i really want this to happen and not get disapointed again. I am the laugh of wvw right now, Everybody know i waited for it for years and they told me to forget it you will be stuck with the halfassed pistol movement (wtf was that even). Please Anet prove them wrong. Give me movementskills that are fun and move me more then 2 meters (again pistol wtf). Can i also be a NINJA jumper!!! I went from disapointed to slightly excited, please don't leave me out again.
Guessing most of the spears will not be all the useful in competitive games modes being projectile type weapons if ranged. Also ele being confined to an area not great for pvp as well.
Warrior still looks nice imo, but yeah the description doesn't feel like it has any cool new mechanic and stays pretty classic and straightforward in its gameplay. It doesn't mean it's bad tho
@@Ojyhbesides the backwards sounding gameplay mechanics and another evade backwards skill, sure. Well see on the showcase, id really love for it too be awesome. But it's not sounding good too me at the moment.
The two ele players will be happy.
🫡
I'm one of them
Aha! The replies show that there are 3 of us 😁
@@stevenmccreery9829 four actually.
After the update this week, you can probably add about 5 or 6 zeros to the end of that 2.
Spear: primarily used to stab, as in thrust and poke
Mesmer: Aight Imma have to stop you there *waves it around like a sword*
Its mesmer hahahah
Yeah, mesmer doesnt have a great track record for using weapons like they're meant to. On a sidenote tho, lets hope we get spear skins in the style of the bardiche or naginata so that slicing makes a little more sense
Always enjoy the videos you create. Thank you for being you and being here to share it with us. ❤
I can't begin to tell you the excitement i feel right now as a decade old elemental main....we about to go ham...

I wonder how the rev spear will work with the energy economy.
Also I beg for power spear to make power mirage pog.
Janthir Wilds is shaping up to be pretty decent at least. I'm high on hopium. The communication for it has been great so far.
Maybe they can make it so that certain skill effects only show to the player character.
I'm STOOOKED. This and housing has me maining GW2 for a while now. Fuck yeah!
We didn't see the fire auto attack... because for some reason its going to be melee.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the elementalist spear is going to function for Weaver with the dual element attunements.
Always a pleasure hearing the Teapot's presentation. Keep it coming sir! 😉
The empowered volcano should really be called "Giga Volcano"
Spears look really good, I'm super stoked!
Ele spear needs to be power and AT LEAST 900 range.
thats at least 900 in the video
I don't think visual cluster is going to be an issue - you can already make effects from other players almost transparent, if you don't toggle this on, you won't be see through Virtuoso's purple barf anyway
😮I didn't know! How? Where?
Rev melee spear! IDK how efficient it will be but I am happy that I can at least in principle do the Vindicator Dragoon thing. Dragooning fully enabled.
As a volcano enthusiast and elementalist enthusiast I’m happy

I agree to this. I would LOVE to play instanced PVE and WvW without the intense necessity to stay on stack!

You saying that ele spear was the lowest range weapon you've ever seen cracked me up
Enfoiré j'y ai cru pour la mêlée sur l'élémentaliste xd
i just hope this whole ammo system for reve spear wont be annoying to use with energy mechanic
I was watching the start of this and was like "huh? The ele graphics looked AMAZING" then realised you were trolling us 😂
Teapot holding back his Necro tears.
I wonder if hybrid attunement skills on weaver will also be fast-instant cast utility abilities
mesmer melee spear isn't bad, if and if it is a amazing mirage weapon.
mirage realy needs some love.
i kinda wonder if the new soecial effects is also the reason they gave ability to turn off ally effects a while back - if these are only gonna show for the user and not to other ppl, then they can go absolute ham (not that ham) with the visual effects
Damn, that mesmer spear one might be better than warrior spear
Staff air looks terrible, scepter air is okay but nothing to write home about, pistol air is trash (which is fine, it is condi focused after all). Finally something properly ranged and good looking for air and lightning.
SPEAR WEAVER ELE WOOOT! GO GO ELE HABOOB!!!
after 1 month with ele spear i can say i cant see the red rings that mobs spawn :( i m hoping they ll add some modifiers to change the rings color on mobs. As much as i like the spear i m considering to go back to hammer
REJOICE!
Hard to choose if i wanna play core berserker spear ele or one shot spear eles.
If those are animation locks on ele spear, that weapon will go straight into the bin on release.
meanwhile warrior..... however I do think the spear burst will be fun to use
i wonder if we will get a new legendary spear. they havnt made any legendary underwater weapons sinice gen 1 but i also dont even know if the spear skins will be the same
They already answered both your questions. The existing skins can be used on land and with the second patch comes a new legendary spear. Also all new coming black lion weapon skins will contain a spear skin.
So if you got a legendary spear you can equip it on land, but not in both slots obviously, meaning land and water, gotta choose one.
Aha, Mesmer definitely doesn't have the moves of Red Mage.
and ele has leylines now!
Roleplay enjoyers are eating well!!
power boon mirage? so quickness on spear ambush?
I'd imagine it must be another alacrity, unless they want to relive the original chronomancer days and have Mesmer as the only class that can do quick and alac at the same time 😅 (or change the staff alacrity trait to another boon or condition).
You’re troll in the video didn’t hit because you revealed it in the title..so yeah lol.
they heard our prayers gg eles won
Lara’s so disappointed at the ranged ele spear. She was so looking forward to that melee elementalist spear gameplay.
They must pay you really good to get that excited about a spear lol. I'm sure the whole expansion is centered around some kind of demonic goat that can only be killed using that special spear.
Anybody know the range on ele spear? 900 or 1200?
long live the HABOOB

The people complaining all day on the forum about ranger LB don't agree with you
@@Hasarian- people complain about every single thing everyday. You have to play wvw yourself to know that ranger has extremely limited use.
I can now finally forgive them for the crap they gave us in eod.
Anet need to optimization graphics or else all these animation will be cluster fckin lag.....all will be for void
Yeaa older systems might be seein frame drops with this one. At least u can change settings of how u see other players skills
XDDDDD ohhhh you and the ele memes
Pistol for ele was the worst weapon from SoTo
I’m just an Elemental Guy 🔥
In Janthir, my arrows will fly 🏹

Nice im glad everyone but warrior got something cool.
