yup that's true. was there from beta as well.

hehe, its ironic that when our guild first got there 3-4 days after launch
we were wiped out during our first outings / or ironhammer kept dying.
we then switched to include more control / support skills to finish it.
( along with staying above the stairs, having runners on the balistas )

---------------------------------------------------------------

a lot of interesting and great ideas being contributed here. hope anet could read it.
if properly implemented, this would be more than just a 'game of 'zerks' and dodge the red circles.

a precursor for your birthday,

so it would stop the ever out of reach price increase for
casual grinders/ limited time players.

thanks!

it was actually not rare to see someone interrupting on groups before editable heroes almost made human partymates obsolete. not counting some HM mobs whose initial skill loadout can be pretty much be wasted
with a well timed aoe interrupt, then proceed to facestomp, even before prot monks would need much to do.
even then, in the time of the early hamstorm (box joke) / wammos/ when thk was so new people thought it
was 'hard': bosses like the swamp undead dragon / glint became even way more easy ( and faster to do )
with good timed interrupts.

during the progression of famous group n/x /iway/orders/ss group builds, there where interruptors
included as utilities. heck, even solo mes UW ones needed some for ecto runs (non 55's).
-----------------------------------------

the current pve balance is way more out of whack even compared to gw1. in maps, in gw2lfg; its shifted
heavily to certain classes. that alone should be enough reason for them to speed up the skill split like
they were forced to do so in gw1. inherent gameplay mechanic changes from pve-pvp means that certain
skills don't scale so well when monsters are having stats way beyond current player caps.

as for adding cc; it would all depend on implementation. right now, its missing the 'skill charging up' bar
from enemies. while the animation this time is more obvious, its quite hard to see on mobs overlapping each
other and with effects flying all over; daze this time is quite flaky as well. at least gw1 more options: blackout,
energy denial, interrupt, skill charge denial, ect ... as it stands now, its just a game of dodge the red circles.
perhaps they can think of mechanics that cannot be avoided, only denied before it completes its'
cast ... give control more use in the current game.

which kind of yellow dye did you use for this?
