Elementalist/Mesmer: Lots of multiple/large area spells that obliterated large groups - think Teinai's heat, Searing Heat, Flare to keep my Kinetic armour up. Arcane echo to get another pop at widespread death. Great game.
Also, glyphs are great at keeping the spell cost down and increasing damage. backfire for annoyance.
Wait, can you do dual class on the same character in this game? I thought you only get to pick one.
It's only single classes in GW2. They said it was too hard to design the classes to be combined and would rather focus on just making each single class better.
Just a heads up, beta keys have started going out and will be for the next few days, do not discuss or tell anyone if you have gotten into the beta you have a chance of being kicked if you do.
so, the collectors edition is $150.00 on EB games so I have to settle it on the standard pack for it. This guy actually called me yesterday to ask me to come and settle it so that I can get the beta. Bad news for me is, I am a huge fan of GW and not have any money to pitch in for GW 2 CE. Good news for me is that the money that I have invested about a year ago in GW2 CE, can be settled for GW2 Standard pack which the guy at EB games confirmed that it was paid for. =\
I think you had to buy the collectors to get the beta invite, no?
This.
I switched from Collectors to standard right when EB games told me to come down to their store and pick up my beta since I had collectors. I had to pay like $80.00 more for it so I switched it to standard and now I am back in to the beta queue. (CE costs $150.00 x.x)
Approximate release date they gave me was July 1st so if the game is going to be released at that date, I might not get in to beta. But I have my hopes up for anything. =]
Any of you managed to get in yet? I got an email a couple of days ago about pre-purchasing for joining the upcoming beta weekend, not sure if I will yet...looks ace from the videos though
If you prepurchase you definitely get beta access, but I've heard about them being full up for this beta so far from people trying to prepurchase this week.
Otherwise, I want to get my hands on a Mesmer and Engi fo sho, but I'm gonna try them all out.
Sweet, thanks! The only other q I had was if it will be possible to play a dedicated healer as I heard it probably won't be the case (I always played Priest in WoW and prefer support roles), if not I'll go all out meatshield warrior

This won't work either. There are no dedicated tank or heal classes. They totaly got rid of the whole 'holy trinity' concept. As fas as I'm aware you're even supposed to die in boss fights, because everyone can help you back up on your feet and this will make the fight pretty tricky, because you have to choose between dealing damage and saving everyones ass.
I guess, if you're good ad dodgeing all the incomeing attacks you can also play it a bit safer, but we'll see how it works tomorrow.
Ill be on yak's Bend, been waiting so long for this
torch i suggest a Guardian for you, ill be playing the ranger as i have since playing on the highschool computers back in the day and through all the expantions.
Seems I am logged in, not sure if that's because I've got a dev account or not. I am making a dude on Yak's Bend. Got a norn Guardian named Meat. Message me when you get in game and ill guild you or whatever.

Hears to hoping stoofoo worked his magic
but probably not..
I hope I get in to beta by settling this.
I pre-purchased and I haven't received anything about betas either. Dunno what the deal is.

Anyone have any comments on the classes?

really wierd though, it seems to be capped at 175 KB/s download speed... means it's gonna take me like, 30 hours to download it or something stupid.

Thinking Yak's Bend since It has an amazing name.
