As it stands, this class serves zero purpose. There are far better dps classes, we can't heal, and we even get out tanked by far.
My 55 VG is literally game fodder and of no use for either PvP or PvE :/
A drastic redesign should be well in order. The class is beyond broken.
Here's some initial thoughts (wishlist blue sky thinking) ;
Specialize us.
- Some of our more useful skills (in PvP) are our PBAOE skills. Focus that, make a pbaoe heavy skill tree. Some pbaoes to damage, some to CC, Boosted area coverage, less area coverage but with boosted damage, pbaoe 'Rescue Allies' skill that clears CC on all nearby teammates, etc
- If we're meant to be front-line as our name suggests, make it so we can get there. 1 CC break is nothing, even with resolve. Storm is great, and so is harpoon, but really if I'm supposed to be up in the enemies face, or shielding/saving that healer.... let me skill to get to them
- Speaking of saving that healer; A DoT skilltree seems silly for this class to me. I need burst and i need to move. Am I supposed to hope my DoTs kill the enemy faster that they kill my healer?
- Cull some of the ranged skills in favor of more in your face stuff. I'd love to see some sort of treeline akin to the Gunslingers Independent Anarchy, Contingency Charges, Insurrection line.
All in all I do enjoy this game, but you've obliterated my first class.
Thought if i was going to complain, I'd do so with some suggestions added.
