Do People Look At Rose & Mechanic As Harriet Home-Maker Roles?
Even on GW1 I almost always ended up being the Mechanic, #1 because I really liked him, and am really good with him. And #2 because usually no one else wanted to be him. I remember there were times when I wanted to change it up and play as another character, only to have to end up changing back to Mechanic, because we desperately needed a teleporter up, and no one else was going to do it.
The same is true in GW2, I'm finding. Since the down grade in Rose almost no one wants to be her, which means no teleporters are being put up. And it's often the same on the zombies side. So I'm just wondering why? Is it because they have a responsibility to protect the teleporters and often times need to hang back instead of getting into the thick of things? Which I feel like some might view as the equivalent of old school thinking where Mom stays at "home" and Dad goes off to work?
In my experience as a Mechanic, I've found that a skilled one can actually do both roles very well, as long as you don't put the "away from home" portion ahead of the teleporter maintenance, which is ALWAYS your first priority.
And even though once I max out all my characters I will be happy to return to the role of mechanic full time, it bugs me that I feel like once again, I need to put aside trying to level up other characters to play as him now, and Rose when I'm on the plant side, because no one else seems willing to do it.
