Guild Wars 2

Lest’s make DH more difficult to use Or reduce his damage. This class needs balance in their traps Asap

If you really think it’s that OP then go play it yourself.

this isnt really a argument. i dont think its op. but if you look at matchmaking theres 3+ dh every game. people are going to play them since they think they are op. and every one comes back saying its so easy they shouldve switched long ago.

It’s not an argument, it’s a suggestion. If certain classes are better than others, then go play the OP class instead of making vague, unproductive complaints about them being OP. Most players feel this way about builds anyways, would you consider it a bad suggestion if I told him to stop playing D/D condi thief and play D/P meta instead? Then the same logic applies to classes. If he is genuinely correct about DH being an OP class then logically the best choice is to play it, if the goal is winning.

And on a side note, maybe by playing DH he’ll come to realize that he’s wrong, that it has counters just like any other class.

that feel when you don’t dodge roll & your ego gets bruised

just learn basic game mechanics & play scrapper if you want lololololol faceroll easy mode.

DH is fine. the only skill that really ruins you is the pull, and you can dodge that. the traps and bow are very easy to play against if you turn your brain on. trigger traps and dodge. easy. use a block reflect or dodge for the bow. then just wait for them to use CDs, then kill them. like, I can beat DH on full melee warrior. my pals can beat them on every class. like, dude its pretty basic boys dodge roll or invun the traps. like dude. what else can we say?

I agree with Huskyboy. If you think its OP make one and play it. All it takes is one character slot. PvP is “free” level 80. Play it, if it really is OP then enjoy your easy to get Legend Status. If its not then you will learn its weaknesses and can go back to your fav class and will know how to beat it.

I have played DH (power and burn), War (power and condi), Scrapper (power only) and Rev (power and condi) in the past 4 seasons. By playing those I learned how to fight each and everyone of those.

As a melee user, I have always hated node sized skills. But the class is not feeling OP. maybe it is just harder because you have to get off the node, so you feel the need to face tank some more damage.

DH is not unbalanced, but you’re right about something: it’s the only reasonably easy answer against the madness of invulnerability/blocks that took place after HoT release.

Toughness and health means nothing, all that matters if if you have enough passive/active instant gratification buttons like distortion and endure pain, and whoever uses it at the right time wins a match. Necromancers for example, while being the highest HP class by far, even having what amounts to 2 health bars, can’t stand up for a second without melting down from all the CCs, while not being able to counter at all. Have you ever tried to play condi war against DHs? you can just walk up to them and auto attack while they hopelessly try to go through your immunities.

They could “fix” trap DH and everyone would simply go to whatever next flavor build is crafted specifically to counter all the invulnerabilities/blocks/dodges being spammed. It’s countering spam with spam, which is certainly not fun but works, and people will go with whatever works.

If you are getting killed by heaps, then you need to learn how to kite, or stop trying to facetank. It will not work.

DH is so strong I can pretty much ignore them in favor of bursting any other class first on core burn guardian. (except thieves, I literally don’t even have to target a bad thief and they’ll die standing next to me)

Seriously, get off the DH kick. The class is only overly rewarding to play when used against players with little experience against it. Any vet will flatten them 1v1. The traps are literally a non issue at this point.

Burn guardian is a good bit more threatening now than DH IMO.

Kiting around point as the score ticks. No other class has this level of control over a point.

good thing you can just dodge roll and stand inside ToF… which is the main trap you see.

also dude, you ever heard of necro wells?

Much higher CD so they can’t be used twice in the same fight, only one deals significant damage. Not that they’re bad but why are we comparing them? Traps are much more useful to a power DH than wells are to any kind of necromancer, why do you think only one (test) metabattle build has any? No necro spams them on point anyways in my experience unless they’re really bad. DHs are rewarded against low-medium level players for spamming traps with kills, well-spamming necros are not.

hey, man it was a long time ago. once upon a time necro wells were deadly. the boon corruption well is still used and strong.

anyhow the only trap that gives you point control is procession of blades, and that’s hardly used. maw and ToF only need one dodge roll.

@huskyboy- tons of builds insta kill payers who are low skill and can’t react. condi warrior 1combos easy, and so does rev. if the player can’t dodge roll and just eats attacks a dps build will straight up kill them.
