would love to see a melee staff specialization

Monks maybe?^^

[nevermore]

My guess is definitely a monk-type character, using staves as a melee weapon. I imagine something similar to the monk in Diablo3, lots of evasion and movement abilities. Also maybe some virtue-like group buffs?
I might be completely off lol

Not interested in any staff wielding melee specialization. Therefore i will drop GW2.

You're unhappy with 1 new trait line of 1 profession, so you're dropping the game?

That's what I'm hoping for. Will actually spend a bit of time leveling my thief if this is the case.

That was my first thought. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Can't imagine it not being melee (I think thieves could use a 1200 range weapon more though).

Also remember that Revs have a melee staff, I theorize that the druid staff will be melee too.

3rd anniversary gifts are out. Pretty good, especially for the dye pack...

"Faithful" Title
Level 30 scroll
5 teleport to friend items
2 birthday boosters
Birthday permanent finisher (looks nice)
and a Celebratory Dye Kit that lets you choose any dye kit that was sold in the gem store. The celebratory dye kit allows you to choose absolutely any specific dye you want, released so far that isn't currently on the gemstore, with no RNG. The only catch is its account bound. I choose one of the most expensive dyes in the trading post currently, Blacklight from the Toxic Dye Kit (a nice purple colour). That "saved" me 420 gold. The Electro dyes are even more expensive (Electro Blue is going for 1097 gold!).
Too bad I deleted my next oldest character. I'll have to wait a bit for my next 3rd anniversary character to get its gift.

Here are the dye kits you can get from the 3rd anniversary gift pack...

Deathly Dye Kit
Taimi's Dye Kit
Crimson Lion Dye Kit
Flame Dye Kit
Metallurgic Dye Kit
Glint's Winter Dye Kit

Overall the most expensive dyes on the trading post are from Taimi's kit (the Electro dyes). They are so expensive because those dyes show through on the Luminescent armor gotten from Silverwastes.

Thief was my profession. I doubt staff would fix any of the issues thiefs currently have. Also i can't stand staff wielding specializations. It feels awkward to me.

I went for Electro Blue and Glint's Isolation

[Eleccybubb]

Can I ask is the anniversary package based on the date of gw2 release or your character creation date?

[zito]

Theifs elite was datamined to be Dare Devil

So yea....

also the engineer elite name is The Forge

Birthday package? Character creation date.

I'm somewhat happy now that I created multiple characters on day 1 of launch, and didn't level them.

[carnifex2005]

Lucky you. I deleted all of my first day accounts because I just used them to save my chosen names. I have a few dye packs coming though in the coming couple of months though.

Thanks for posting all the colors!

Having a hard time deciding what I am going to pick. It'll likely be colors that look good on heavy gear though since i don't have many of those and I expect I'll be playing my Rev a lot.

Also, I really like the birthday finisher

[carnifex2005]

No problem. I just grabbed the list from Reddit. The good thing about the dye pack is that you can just throw it into your bank and pick a colour when you really need it. For my next dye packs I'll just throw it in the bank and use it when I really want a nice new colour.

[Arlee]

Huh, that's a pretty good idea

[Rivellana]

Can someone tell me where you can find your character creation date for each character?

[rhandric]

If you type /age you'll be shown how old your character is (hours played, number of days played total, and account # of hours/days). You'll have to do some math to figure it out, but that should be trivial

Totally forgot about that. Thanks. :P
