Well I thought Id throw in my 2 cents worth. Granted this is based on only 2 hours of play with the new system. I respecd my abilities for fortitude and agility and defence. Got rid of the spells that no longer stack ( went from having 4 full hotbars up to partially filled 3 hotbars), and tried to solo in Splitpaw.The hideout and harclaves went from being a fun way to spend an hour or 2, to a fun way to die in about 10 minutes. The single MOB's went down fine and I could see some improvement in dps with the offensive stance. Multiple mobs, blue with double down arrows, owned my good. Had 4 deaths in the first hour....kinds expensive repair costs.One good thing is I could finally kill the pit champion where I couldnt before, the group of 3 slaves that comes before the Champ were much harder than the Champ himself. To me it seems the solo route will be less fun and less doable than it was. I havent tried grouping yet,that is for tonight. If it is as tough as the solo I will probably try another charecter. I think it is possible that you will see a lot fewer guardians across all servers soon. the sad part is that no one may miss us at all. Tobann 47 Guardian
