hello, so i opened this post to let people know guardians need a viable ranged weapon, and well, it is really annoying to be the only profession with little ranged options, the scepter little orbs are to slow, they should fix the speed of them and give the scepter more range, if not, we could use, bows …….and so i prepared a complete list of the abilities they could use:

1= fire arrow, your normal autoatack that inflicts some fire damage (not much)
2= heavenly aegis, (just a suggestion for the name) fires an arrow that shields the people in a decent (not to large) AoE
3=divine fire, AoE damaging fire atack
4= blunt arrow (again, just asuggestion for the name) fires a blunt arrow that dazes your foe
5=divine wave (just a suggestion for the name), not what you think, you fire an arrow that as soon as it touches an enemy, sends a wave that heals allies and damages foes

that concludes it, i think it would be a good adition for a guardian, since a guardian isnt focused on dealing brutal damage like warriors, but to deal damage AND protect allies, i hope Anet reviews this post, guys, please give me your feedback

Nah, it would break guardians. Too many of the guardian’s slot abilities are AOE from our central positions, so your suggestion means re-balancing all of guardian’s utility. I’ve been playing equal parts elementalist and guardian. I like the guardian combat way more, because while it’s true that we have only medium quality ranged damage we have a ton of creative and fun gap closers that make us a lot of fun to play. I enjoy the kite game on my elementalist, but I don’t want to do it with my guardian. And I don’t want my guardians gap-closers and utility re-balanced for the addition of bows. Something could be done to make the Scepter more competitive with the guardians other awesome weapon combinations (my fav right now is mace/torch), but it’s probably not going to be adding any new weapons.
