Okay. I won't panic in this reply. I'll remain absolutely calm. Let's analyze what's going on here before we tell people "Not to panic".
*The current abilities of the guardian are gutted completely with almost no utility and baked in passives.
*This is a PTS yes, however if gutting the abilities and getting peoples initial reaction on an EARLY stage like this wasn't the point, then what is the current point of the PTS being open? It's obviously very early in its development cycle.
*They seem to be pushing a holiday release date for this patch, yet plan to overhaul the way classes work with new "combat styles", which only seems to be cookie-cutter choices and once again, less utility.
*MMORPG's have done class pruning in the past, it never works out well, current best example is WoW.
*A bioware employee responded saying something along the lines of "It's early and we require feedback, we see your concerns and have seen these current complaints", however he or she hasn't addressed ANY complaint what-so-ever and we have yet to see them do so..
Maybe you should think before you tell people not to panic, because the current outrage seems pretty justified so far, because we have little to no communication and a holiday release date....
