EDIT: Nvm. Ppl will test it in the preview shard later.
I wonder if the 5-dashes per endurance bar for Rangers might be too good, though - unless they are much shorter range or don't grant immunity from effects while in mid-dash.
The artifact system sounds interesting, but I worry that it will just be a rune/enchant/item sink.
*Edit: The article mentions "it's hard to argue with the power to slaughter your foes from 40 feet away" - is this the same range of a CW's normal At-Will attacks, or is it closer to what a TRs throwing daggers can reach?

It is much shorter.
I hope not. I do not want a TERA like archer, to hit stuff just a few feets from me. I want RANGE (as in RANGER), like CWs MM 80ft (maybe even 90ft). *sniper mode on* >_>
CW normal range is 80ft unless you buff it with feats.
Also, 5 dodge immunities in a row sounds pretty OP for any class, but if they are not immunities, how will they PvE using their full class?
Well, I don't think the GWF gets immunity when sprinting. Even without immunity, it'd still be useful for quickly getting out from red circle. It's also possible that other powers, such as their lunge toward/jump back power might grant CC immunity.

companions and passive bonuses ???
meaning i will get the % damage reduction from angel of protection even if she`s not the companion i summoned ?
ROFL.
prepare yourself, TONS of companions will be release/sold on the zen market and like Pokemon, you gotta catch em all.
this is probably the worst news i ever got from an MMO update.
That depends on your point of view, for others who've spent the money on the companions it is good news.
Well, if every companion offers some sort of bonus, then you can always just invest a couple of gold into buying the basic companions available at the Grand Emporium.
And if there are people out there that then decide that a character has to have a certain number or type of companion 'slotted' before that can join their party, then that's on them.
Not much different than someone insisting on "experience" or the use of a voice chat program to me.
It's up to you if you are going to be "that guy".
I would wager that a group will be able to get through all of the content in the game without any companions being used for the bonus that they offer if a group was so inclined as to try.
I will have what I have. Not because of what someone else says that I should have, but because of what I decide to have for myself*.
If that means that someone doesn't want me in their party or guild then I will get over it. :cool:
* no, this doesn't mean that I will go out of my way to make crazy builds because I can or even to not look at what other people are building... I just means that I am not going to let other people tell me what I "have" to do because I am playing whatever class.
Are there any guesses as to when?
I checked back in time, and the press release for the official launch date for Module 1 was made a little over a month prior. The news came out on July 16 for a launch date of August 22. It is getting to the stage where they're going to need to say something official in order to hit that "before the end of the year" metric, if they want to have the same window of promotional lead time.
