Guild Wars 2: 10 Reasons You Should Stop Reading and Go Play

2. Fighting Feels Fun Again

Gone are the days of skill rotations that go something like this: Tab to target. 5. 4. 1. 2. 3. 1. 2. 6. 1. 2... ad infinitum. Guild Wars 2 cuts it down to the bare bones, but in a good way. You have 5 weapon skills, one heal, one ultimate ability, and 3 utility skills. That's it. You have approximately 45 billion possible combinations of skills however, as each character has a combined pool of over 100 skills. Smart situational use of skills replaces max dps/hps/threat rotations, and dodge rolling and self-heal skills replace just standing still spamming group chat with "HEAL! HEAL!". The era of passive, predictable, boring combat is over. Get ready to literally fight for your life.
