Guild Wars 2

I’d like to complain about the health on a guardian. I don’t understand why the necromancer has the health of a melee and the melee guardian the health of a backline charackter. Any logic on this?

I would like to know this aswell. There should be no excuse for a magic caster squishy have’n to go into melee range. My guardian as a pretty low health pool, for it to have to be in melee range most of the time.

It probably has to do with the numerous skills [et al.] involving healing, blocking, condition removal, etc.

Then the devs should cut to the chase of Guardians should just be healers. I would love to have my 80 guardian sitting on a 27k health pool like my 80 warrior does. The weird thing is why break ALL classes down to:
Support
Damage
Control
When a Damage build Guardian should have a higher health pool vs a Support or Control build guardian.

As Anchorwind said. If our base HP was to be increased we would have to suffer different nerfs to a lot of our skills to still be balanced. Just Virtue of Resolve alone brings our base hp to 12k in a really short fight to a lot more during long fights.

P.s. stop thinking that caster = ranged squishy and “big guy with the sword” = melee tanky. It doesn’t work like that in GW2.

If you’re having a hard time staying alive as a guardian…..you’re doing it wrong

Guardians have so many self-heals and defensive boons there is no need for a huge health pool.

Play around with your build or ask someone who knows what they are doing for some advice

Im sure you KNOW nothing about your class …

Guardian is melee class only sir ? its warrior like sir ? RIGHT

so tell me why half weapons and skills are MAGIC (that you said caster or mage lol) alike ?!

even he use plate armor dosen’t mean he don’t use caster alike skills (staff scepter and focus its melee class weapons ? its like caster weapons like >_< ) + its already one of best classes on spvp

What happend to take what you get and role with it? owning with w/e you have to create a good character? whocares if your guardian has less of an Hp pool than a necro. Does your guardian like slitting his own wrist everytime they do an attack too?
No? THATS the logic then.

with all jokes aside this is just another whine post to soften the wounds of a recent grimace lost and pride in the game.

Guardians have more than enough hp with their current skillset. Other classes need more due to the fact that they fall over when the wind blows.

Who said anything about having a hard time to staying alive? We just want a bigger life pool. Just because we want a bigger life pool it does not mean we die a lot. People always got to jump to conclusions in here..Sheeesh.

That is not something 100% “good” to ask , and my main also is a guard.

There is a balance , you know we got tons of self heals and protections , that means our health pool is meant to be balanced over that.

To get + HP means to cut from other of our survival factors.

If that is good or bad depends on each of ours point of view really , for me it is bad , cause im already used to play with my guard, no need to go change the whole thing.

Okay maybe there are skills in the game that compensate the lower health. But what if you want to roll your guardian with signets? What if you want to play with the spirit weapons?
