Then put your healing spells on page 3 of hotbar 1. Then play your game and switch between the hotbars and you will have removed your holy trinity. Only difference now is that your spec will not change so you will have one spec that is better. But you will have the same interactions and gameplay as GW2.
@ Bioware Stop trolling the EU. Fix the downtimes to the middle of the night and not in the middle of the morning / day.

It's actually still pretty hotkey oriented. You still target, press the key, and the attack goes off. There are some abilities where you have to "aim", but WoW/TOR already has abilities like this. Really only difference is GW2 has an active dodge.

No matter what your character will always have a self healing ability and it is your duty in a boss fight, to dodge attacks and keep yourself healthy, there are no direct healing abilities in GW2 apart form your self heal, so if you die, you can really only blame yourself.

Yeah, you have buttons to press, but you aren't locked into healing the tank, or even being the tank. You have different skill loadouts based on equipment, but no weapon forces you into a role. You can effectively tank no matter what your loadout, because you're keeping yourself alive, not another player. Quote: Originally Posted by Marmerus Not really.

But you will have the same interactions and gameplay as GW2. Like I said above, it's not purely having a certain skill loadout. You never become a healer or tank. You play as your own separate unit, working in tandem with other units.

I am only playing swtor until GW2 comes out the story was ok for my sith warrior but there is no way I can go back and do all the quests just to see another story. I am looking forward to a game that is not a constant gear grind and actually has good fun pvp.

Whilst I appreciate that all games take ideas from other successful games it's not to say they need to be a carbon copy of others. It's no better than all those who want everything from WoW in SWTOR.
Help me, Bio-Ware Support; you're my only hope.

The Elementalist for eg, at any given time has 36 abilities to use. Your "you only have to learn this and that" argument pretty much falls short right there
