Random assorted GW2 thoughts

• I guess I'm leveling up a Revenant now? I find Revenant gameplay kind of dull, but for some reason I really want to run a Herald (for...literally not much reason other than that I want to experience perma swiftness :p), so...I guess I'll see where this goes.


• It's Wintersday and I've been doing the daily achievements religiously. One thing that really strikes me about Snowball Mayhem is that players don't use their profession-specific skills enough. Playing as a Mesmer and using the clone ability when you have a gift? Amazing. Setting traps as a Ranger/Thief? Probably super helpful.


• I will forever be salty about how Tome of Wrath and Tome of Courage were removed as the Guardian's elite skills. I didn't use them often, but they were fun to mess around with. I have yet to experiment with Ventari's Tablet on my Revenant, but I've never liked the idea even if Arenanet said it was what they wanted to do with the Guardian tomes. People already complain about micromanaging pets with the Ranger; why would anyone want to micromanage a Ventari's Tablet?
