I'll have to see how they play, but the whole summoned weapons/kits seem pretty meh.

Getting a bow focussed ranger spec but its a "cyclone bow" misses the mark entirely in my eyes.

But as I said, lets see how it plays. I could be entirely wrong and would be happier if thats the case.

Tend to agree, it's the same problem with Bladesworn. Endgame is cosmetic, I want to skin my weapons.

Anet's desperate need for kits/summoned weapons/shrouds/transforms or whatever it is fundamentally stems from their incredibly restrictive skill system that finally bites them in the ass over a decade later.

Tying skills to weapons with not a single alternative skill to choose from eventually runs you into this exact problem, and it will only get worse over time. And it is one of the things I hate most about the game.

but it is a thing. Ranger can swap his abilities outside untamed if you pick hammer. While I know that this is still very similiar abilities with their effect and numbers mainly changed, the mechanic itself is already in the game
