Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone.

So after playing this game for some time now, and always trying to create or try something new that is effective or even just decent / have an enjoyable style to my taste, there is always one thing in the back of my head that slightly annoys me when i feel i may have found something.

Patch Paranoia.

It seems everytime I get into something the next day there is a thread complaining said build existed in like 1200 BC and is ‘’meta cheese OP’’

For example. I used to main Warrior back when it was considered worst pvp class ( which most ppl now would try to claim those days didnt exist for more than a minute) but anyway, Once all these now changes came in and this whole Ham sandwhich Bow and Healing signet with Meta Cheese started, I didnt follow it . I instead stuck to my style i enjoyed or tried other things but still ofcourse got trashed for playing warrior.

Ever since then I literally moved away from the class and began retrying every other profession to pick up another style because I basically let the ’’community’’ ruin a profession for me lol. But currently I found something i like alot more than basic Warrior anyway which will remain unstated because I’m once again seeing ppl cry for nerfs only recently on this class too out of nowhere when its already been nerfed.

But to the point of all this, the reason i suffer from Patch Paranoia is because i notice usually when said build needs to be nerfed it isnt always nerfed directly but some outer route is taken and other builds get affected. Which made me feel I can never settle on a class I enjoy because its one thing to adapt and another thing to have something you enjoy ruined because something else that was unrelated.

This got me thinking about all professions in general when it comes to nerfs and came to a conclusion in which profession is safest to settle on If you are like me and suffer from Patch Paranoia.

I’m interested in hearing other peoples selection of choice on this but off the top of my head without digging up too many past patch notes or researching it seems that most protected class from nerfs currently imo is none other than…

a Guardian..

Guardians are irreplaceable bunkers. They’ve received a couple nerfs and have useless builds like Spirit Weapons, but they’re almost always necessary in a decent competitive team comp. They’re unmatched at what they do best but nobody complains about them so they won’t be nerfed that much and that frequently IMO.

Here is a hint. Play the way you want and don’t jump onto bandwagon builds. It is those builds that get nerfed.
