Organised team work and making use of the environment, using corners and pillars to hide from ranged weapons and waiting for them to come to you can work. This isn't my idea but I read it on another forum That said, even if a 5-man group started tank swapping, each player running in to take a hit or two then dodging back so that another can take some damage, abilities which reduce or negate damage completely still provide a huge advantage (aegis, blind, weakness, etc..). this might work as well

What race do you reckon? I like the Norn just because of the pets, I haven't worked out much of a strategy with switching them in a fight yet but am working on it. I'd go for a longbow/sword combination.
My biggest complaint with the game is it feels like there is no strategy involved in combat. Everybody just goes in with guns blazing. The stuns, blindings, and stealth moves for a thief feel practically useless. That being said, this game has the most indepth crafting I've ever seen in an MMO. That is something SWTOR completly overlooked. The real joy of his game ,though, is getting out an losing yourself in the world. There is so much incentive to just go out and roam. Anybody who is level 80 by now has totally missed the point of this game. GW2 is about questing and the journy to the top, not the end game.

Sort of agree with your comments, I'm quiet enjoying the combat but it is early days for me so far. I certainly am with you on the joy of losing yourself in the world. As somebody once said its all about the journey not the destination.
I'm new here but I'm not surprised to see such a mixed reaction. I like the anime style of the game but can understand why it's not for everyone. The game really received a lot of hype before release and maybe gamers expectations were rather high. I think it will appeal more to the PvP players rather than the PvE players. I'm still a SWTOR die hard but I'm hoping that GW2 will win me over. Just my 2 cents!
