What theme would that be? There is no theme with PvE skills other than unlinking powerful abilities that anyone can slot to distract from the fact that professions are woefully unbalanced and that many mechanics are antiquated within today's meta.

Sounds like a good idea but I would like to see the 5% dp function removed with nothing in place of it. After playing with AS for a while on war,sin,ranger and testimonials from people with paras AS would still be very viable with just the "you cannot be missed" function. If ANet did change it to suit the asuran theme I would support just to see the DP removal gone.

The old AS was a band-aid but the function of a band-aid is to help the wound fully heal and then take it off. I seriously hope the rangers and paras get a bit of rework ointment soon.
