For professions you can only have 2 "active" at a time...but you never lose progress...for example I could spend a week levelling up my armor smithing then decide to drop it for something else....but when I go back and activate my armor smithing its still at the same level where I left off

Jesus, that is so much better than WoW

How much does your profession affect active gameplay? Does it give you specific commands or armor proficiencies? In other words, is there something about the game that would require only two active professions to be balanced?

In all of the reading I have done so far, there aren't any proficiencies from your active disciplines; it's just that each discipline crafts gear that is tailored to certain professions. It's essentially their way of saying that if you want to do it all (on one character), its gonna cost a bit more.

I've been saying this over and over while playing.

WoW does a few things better: WoW's interconnected zones are lovely. You have to go through a loading screen when switching zones in GW2. I guess it results in better graphics overall but it would have been nice to have.

WoW's combat is a bit more responsive. This may have something to do with the dodge feature + PvP since dodging would be pointless if incoming attacks didn't have a readable windup. I'm still low level so I can't say for sure.

That's really the main thing WoW has over every other MMO - interface and combat responsiveness

Played a bit more today. Getting used to it. I would still prefer to use a controller. To attack, i click the left mouse button on an enemy. Is there a way to Automatically attack whatever is near you without actually having to click on it? It is a pain in the ass when doing events because 15 players will converge on one guy and i end up clicking on them instead of the enemy.

You can mess around with TAB targeting...hitting tab will just cycle through nearby enemies...other than that what i usually do is run up to a mob and just start hitting my abilities, so far they'll auto target the closest thing in range

Depends on what type of abilities your profession has too; as an elementalist, i can just run in range and use an ability that is targeted on the ground and after it casts my character automatically attacks the target it hit. Do you have your first ability queued up for auto attack too? I also think you can just activate your first ability when you are in range of an enemy and it will autotarget it.

I'm thinking of getting a new mouse for this. Anyone use any of those dorky gaming mouses? I'm considering the Razer Naga Epic or the Logitech G700.
