As with most things in WoW, the UI of Guild Wars 2 will be customizable. But ArenaNet hasn’t mentioned how that will be done, or whether it will allow players to use addons or mods to change the UI. Let’s examine some of the options available. Ultimately, GW2’s UI will probably be similar to WoW’s. That said, it will be a major change.

GW2 UI is a classic WoW system

While GW2 offers many of the same features as its WoW counterpart, it has its own unique twists. Unlike WoW, players in GW2 can craft from anywhere, while WoW players must set up a crafting station to do so. GW2 also allows you to teleport to other areas to craft materials. In addition, the game offers the most extensive zone and profession systems, as well as daily content.

Another notable improvement in the UI of GW2 is its banking system. Unlike WoW, GW2 allows players to acquire extra bank slots without spending any money. The UI also features an updated system for character and bank balances. Players can also get cosmetics and additional bank and inventory slots without spending any money, but this will require some time and effort. Besides this, there are other advantages to the GW2 banking system.

GW2 lacks dedicated tanks

The tank role is often a necessary part of the game’s meta, but GW2 lacks any truly dedicated tanks. While meatshield tanks are a great way to control a fight, they don’t have the range of options that make them interesting. This is why GW2 offers more options for your character and divides them among the group. While a tank might be better suited for certain situations, an Elementalist or warrior will be able to control a fight better than a dps.

One disadvantage of a tank in GW2 is its lack of DPS. Compared to tank classes, DD classes have a massive gap in DPS. A six-man group normally has two healers and two support classes. Bringing a tank would mean taking three DPS and cutting damage output to avoid stealing agro. In addition to DPS, bringing a tank would gimp the group’s DPS by 30 percent and cut healing requirements by forty or fifty percent. Luckily, most groups did not bring a tank. A tank’s lowered DPS and lowered healing requirements by 40 or 50%, a problem that exacerbated the situation.

GW2 lacks dedicated healers

Despite its many flaws, GW2’s dedicated healer class does not seem to have a very large impact on the game’s meta. This is partially due to the fact that healers do not have dedicated player classes, and instead rely on ring sets which grant healing abilities. In addition, players using healing abilities may attract aggro from enemies. Moreover, some enemy types have the ability to heal cohorts, such as Tiny Witch Doctors. In addition, there is no visual indicator of whether or not a player is healing, which may be frustrating if a person is in the middle of a game.

While GW2 does have dedicated healers, they are far too rare to find in the game’s PvP matches. Due to this, many players will have trouble finding one to fill this role in the game. This is not surprising, since a tank is likely to be the only character wearing a robe. And because no profession can be a healer, this can make a tank feel useless, which is an extremely bad thing. Luckily, there are still other, better options.

GW2 lacks dedicated DPS

GW2’s lack of dedicated DPS UI has many players disenchanted. Most first person shooters have dedicated damage characters, but not GW2. It’s very easy to become frustrated when waiting on queues with too many people queueing for tanks or support characters. There should be a dedicated DPS UI, so that you can easily switch between the two roles. If you’re having trouble finding a spot to play your DPS character, the flex queue feature will allow you to quickly switch to your tank or support.
