Guild Wars 2

To be honest i think all guardian shouts should be audible to the team the same as warrior shouts are but if i were only able to pick one then it would be “stand your ground”. This would make it easy for the group to know they had stability without having to check their buff bars and it would also make it easier for two guardians to not overlap stability against the same enemy attacks that need it.

Thoughts? (please be constructive)

Agreed. I’m a bit baffled as to why Guardian Shouts can’t be heard like Warrior ones. While they’re at it, I recall hearing Hold The Line once or twice when casting it, but that was forever ago. Was that soundfile removed or is that just my client being derped?

I think Hold The Line is bugged, sometimes an audio file will play, most of the time nothing does.

I wish a lot of the audio cues were redone. The human male version of “Shake of off” is pretty good. The human female, however…

Actually, with a human male guardian at least, there are audible shouts for every Shout with the exception of “Hold the Line,” where the character instead simply makes a generic comment on the application of Protection. I tested all of the others, including “Stand your ground,” and was able to confirm audible shouts.

It sounds like the problem might be broad and intermittent – certain guardian shouts are lacking soundfiles for certain race/gender combinations.

err… I think the problem is that nobody around can hear your guardian shouts. I never hear someone shouting retreat! around me or other guardian shouts, but…
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
FOR GREAT JUSTICEEE!
SHAKE IT ON MY MARK FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!!
that’s what I usually hear when I get into dungeon with 2 fellow warriors.

My wife’s Guardian once yelled, “Bombs prepped and ready!” upon using “Hold the Line!”.

It’s too bad that she wasn’t a Juggermancer… =D

True! I totally agree, I think it should be done across the board with all characters shouting all the time, hearing you have gotten a buff is much greater than having to look through you buff list in the midst of battle. A toggle in the audio section would also be nice for those that don’t want it.
