The combat in Guild Wars 2 is visually appealing and smooth. I have no gripes with the skill system as it seems to work well. However, since you guys at Arenanet are trying to innovate and evolve, I think it would be best to add a full combat system to the mix.

You are doing a lot of things to spice the MMO genre up a bit, but melee combat is still roughly the same. You walk up to an enemy, you hit them, they hit you, you use a skill, etc. If you added a full combat system with buttons for strong and weak attacks and making skills for melee classes specific to special abilities rather than raw damage. If done right, this could potentially make for extremely engaging melee fights where skill and tactics are at the forefront. Will you use that skill to cripple your foe or will you try to finish them off quickly with your weapons? Perhaps a stamina bar could be implemented. Of course I don't expect you to follow this word for word, but I think it would really help in making GW2 the groundbreaking MMO it can be. Other classes could have similar modifications so that each feels unique and exciting instead of pressing the same button in the same way for different effects.

Thank you for your time.
