Looking pretty good. I still wish I knew more about the game... they always show 5 skills, but dear lord there must be more than that for each character right??  These are just the main skills I hope!

There are five spells per class, but there is much than that to building a character

Yeah there's going to be loads of "schools" (example, Mage has 4 schools, Water, Fire, Earth and Air I believe), each school contains 5 skills (4 regulars and one Ultimate).

Everyone will have a set of basic skills too (I'd imagine these would be the simple transfer skills if you played DF1), and you will select a Primary and a secondary school for whatever class you play. However, you cannot use the 'Ultimate' skill in your secondary school, and I believe also the skills in your secondary will have certain drawbacks to using them (ie, cost more mana, not as effective as if it was primary, etc).

Hope this helped!

Wrong.

Everyone will have a set of basic skills, probably consisting of the 3 transfers, a crappy long-cast heal-self, and a crappy basic mage attack spell (for when you pull out your staff, remember all classes can use all weapon types) - Think along the lines of DF1's lesser magic.

Also you cannot use the Ultimate skill of your second school. That makes 9 skills between your primary and secondary roles.

Whenever I see people circle-straffing in 3rd person perspective over-the-shoulder view - I want to vomit.

Awww, here's a bucket, sunshine. You go get it all out now, ok?

Anyfrackinwho, thanks for sharing PsyMike. Game's looking better than I had hoped, and these are just youtube videos. Can't stand the wait for this one.

All characters have access to 2 roles (9 skills) then also access to ALL Lesser magic and greater magic.

Then there are probably alot of passive/neutral skills just like in DF1.

All classes also have access to melee, archery etc.

Then you have all the gathering/crafting skills etc.

9 skills only? Bleh.... too familiar to GW2... I miss the days of EQ (blah blah yes I know I am jaded and nastalgic) where you would have like 20+ spells, even if a few of them were rarely used.

I still am interested as long as their is a sense of purpose and stuff (I know I don't need to say it but I will, there is no purpose or drive in GW2 and it killed it for me and my friends).

Dec 12 can't come soon enough!

thats ok, you can be one of those people who sits still trying to aim in combat, and then Q.Q when you lose hours worth of gear cause the game has bad mechanics.

You have to stand still to aim, or am I reading that wrong?
