So, I'm debating between this and WoW to fill my MMO niche.

Dagger/dagger ele any good for a solo player?

PvE? PvP? WvW?

In general it's a very good Ele weaponset, in PvE it's a bit more risky, but usable. Keep all weapons on you anyway, changing traits around is free and can be done on the fly, swapping weapons and retraiting is a matter of a few seconds and a dozen clicks.
Also get celestial gear.

I was thinking more solo wvw.

Also interested in similar high mobility classes for wvw.

Info about specializations. I think this will have a huge impact.

yeah, was about to post.

I have said repeatedly how much I despise the old system. Not sure on this new one yet.

Removing STATS from the traits is a huge +++++. Half the reason you HAD to pick certain trait lines was the stats.
+healingpower/toughness trait line? yeah, can't imagine why no one takes that...

What I do worry about is, adding those stats to gear.
Stats on Gear is not much fucking better. The itemization is pretty notoriously bad in GW2. Stat collation seems damned random at times. like ruby rings, or the level 78 exotic craft backpacks
Going from exotic to ascended, the stat gain varies piece by piece..

Amazon.com: Guild Wars 2 Heroic Edition [Online Game Code]: Video Games20.00 right now if you can't wait for expansion.

There any rumors on release date? Is it this year? This summer? Next year? What's the time frame look like?

The NCSoft "predicted earnings" part of their most recent financial report has a big spike for GW2 income in Q3 this year, so around then.

Any info on that report for Wildstar potentially going F2P?

I would be surprised if the expansion doesn't release on their anniversary at the end of august.

Not really

Wait they are making that much off of lineage still, I'm assuming the reason is Korea ?

The list of changes to all classes, list is still being updated as the stream just ended a half hour ago after 4.5 hours.

Wtf to some of the engineer changes, mesmer and necro changes kinda lacking.

I played a lot of engi and necro and it's been so long that I have no idea what the changes mean.

409 gm tools now. what?
huuuuuuuge nerf to grenadier. granted. it needed it.. or.. wait "made baseline." nvn, huge buff to leveling grenades. its always 3 now.

Lots of huge change coming. I'm a bit excited but also scared at the same time.
