Rev 100% suffers from form of function.

RIP unless they do some changes.

Rev feels like a slog even with quickness.

Man, I also hope we see some more condi types because right now the spear has no place.

Necro, Mesmer and Ele feel good. I'm very pleased with Necro spear.
Thief feels good. Not sure about Engi. Ranger needs a bit of polish on the leap skill, but I really like what it is on paper.
Rev feels good, but I think Warriors and Guardians need a bit more polish. The Warrior skills are really small and will be trivially easy to dodge. Guardian didn't feel like it flowed well to me.

I'm very optimistic about these weapons compared to the SotO weapons, but I'd like to know more about the story etc before bolting down an opinion.
I'd also love if they did another Elite Spec, and maybe skipped weapons next expansion. Particularly as a Necromancer main, it feels like us receiving two weapons that focus around lifedrain & power damage we should get an elite spec that really capitalizes on that.

Thief is actually OP. Its a damage, mobility, and mitigation powerhouse. People easily benched 50k dps on it, most dps builds are at about 40k for reference. And its very easy to hit that 50k unlike ele specs that often bench high but the dps isnt practical dps in real fights.

I've mainly played around with Ele and it feels and looks really good, however it really needs a boost in dps. It doesn't feel like the glass cannon they described it to be.
Hope they buff it a bit before release.
