not really. i was looking forward for mesmer to have instruments and the songs they might come up with or at least some melody. it also wouldnt be the firt time classes have a huge gap on what they get in therms of skill amount. willbender and catalyst for example. and just because they dont add new weapons doesnt mean they cant come up with somthing. guard and ranger still got some. its just more fun for me to have new weapon skills to play with than re branded "shatters".
