Guild Wars 2

1 Guardian is hard enough to deal with rotating their blocks as they sit their kitten on the point but 2 rotating their blocks where you have 5-6 seconds of no damage coming to them is stupid. I throw Lava font and they sit on the point take 0 damage.

They need to fix the block bug.
They need to nerf guardians access to easy stability.

Ive won paid tournies in all 3 matches for QP’s so it isn’t like we are losing in the first map every match but this double guard + bug is kittening BS.

Ya It’s getting a little annoying.

Some guardians are nice about it at first. But when they feel embarrassed to lose 1v1 to a Warrior they start bugging like crazy.

Most teams now run doub Guardian for that reason.

They already have just a few second stability every minute and elementalist only have 1 cc skill which trigger if they move wont make a difference.

Thankfully the teams running 2x guardian with the block bug are typically terrible and you can still win by outplaying them. Been seeing them mostly on FoN, so at least they don’t get their tickets back.

^This is true. Despite winning, it’s still annoying none the less.

There’s outplaying them— and then there’s guards that are specced to have other things to grant them invuln on top of the block bug and it just gets insane with the amount of damage they can completely negate.

One person on a point that is completely specced tank SHOULD be able to hold on for longer than a person that is specced for DPS sure. But they SHOULDN’T be able to tank it indefinitely.

This is obviously all kicking a dead horse at this point though as devs have stated they are trying to fix it… it’s just crazy irritating in the mean time.

The short term, or in this case now long term fix would have been to disable the weapon until it was fixed.

Yea this bug is really OP especially if used at clutch times I was in a fight with a guardian at graveyard made him use up his heals/etc and he was down to sub 10% hp when he uses the block bug and thats game as we lose 497 to 502 in a paid tourney.

Everyone abusing this bug should be banned for life.

Now thats a little extreme and most likely impossible as I doubt Anet could track every time a ability was used let alone used and glitched.

They definitely track every time an ability is used.

But they can’t track it and assume every player is doing it on purpose. Thus it’s improbable.

I’ve been seeing comments about this “Block-bug” but I don’t get it… What is the bug? That Guardians have skills that cause blocks? Cause that’s kinda normal… On my guardian I got about 3 blocks. Mace#3, Focus#5, Heal:Shelter

So what is this bug I keep hearing about? :S

Block bug allows a guardian to block far more than 3 attacks. Were talking nigh invulnerability for 10 seconds if done right

Eh…
Aegis: 1 attack
Mace#3: Single attack only
Focus#5: 3 attacks
Shelter: 2s all attacks

So I still don’t get it…

You can glitch the mace 3 to block all attacks for 5 seconds

thats the block bug

Yeah and while blocking they can use any other ability they want, swap weapons etc.
