Combat Interview Part One

djazzy

Here is an interview about the combat in GW2 with the lead designer.

Note that it will retain the same skill system that GW has but with a few twists. There will be a 10 slot skill bar with the first 5 skills chosen for you (determined by class and weapon choice) and the second 5 skills chosen by the player.

Just read it and wanted to make a post about this...then i saw your post..

 

Also noticable... you can easilly swap out 2 weapons and so changing the first 5 skills on the fly, which gives you another 5 skills. So you can actually use 15 skills in combat without needing to change out skills.

 

 

Nothing over the so beloved 2nd class, our multi classing or crossclass skills....

Or would a mage be able to weil a warriors weapon and have warrior skills?

I read in another couple interviews put out today that secondary professions are out. I find that disappointing but I'll wait and see how it pans out.

Not really, after reading some i found out its still there but i guess its a little different...

If your mage equips a warriors hammer... that would give him 5 warrior skills

Your mage would also have 5 mage skills to chose from his known skills.

 

Now your mage has a 2nd weapon, if he swaps that in ... for example a healers staff.... he would get 5 healing abbilites... and a char can allways swap out 2 weapons in combat easilly...

 

So if every weapon (and not every weapon type) has 5 different skills, then see how many posiblities we have

 

And don't mind my bad english as it is not my native tongue
