Guild Wars 2

It would be interesting to have a post/pillar in the center of all the points. This would be especially useful for the center point of foefire. This would allow you to intelligently avoid ranged damage. Additionally you could kite more effectively.

I personally like using the map terrain to my advantage during a fight and there should be more terrain around/inside the point for this.

It’d favor melee users, particularly of the bunking variety. They could do exactly what you said and hide behind it, forcing ranged users into melee range if they want to hit them. Cleaving attacks, such as guardian staff 2, would also strike through the obstacle. So you’re opening up a whole new can of worms with that.

It’s not a good idea.

Yep, definitely not a good idea.

pillars are never a good thing. personally my most hated feature of any map

ITT: Rangers vs melee.

That is the point. It changes up game play for melee builds. Currently I see much more ranged combat than melee. Melee builds could really use some help staying alive.

So you want to kitten the classes that counter builds requiring melee range? You realise that melee range classes include d/d ele and every type of warrior, even cele engis function best at close range. In other words, you would be making classes that are already complained about for their tankiness even more survivable.

Google image that and add man after. It has an alternative meaning.

I would like to see the rangers stop being mindless. Give people some way to actually counter lich form. Give squishier builds a way to kite while staying on point. Really, just add things to the map that require the player to be more aware of positioning. Skyhammer went too far in this cause a minor screw up would mean insta-death.
