The state of spvp
Guardians are getting nerfed because bunker guardians are very OP in tPVP.
Problem with thiefs is, that they are pretty hard to play against, while on the other hand a thief can kill everything with 222222222……
Initiative is a broken class-mechanic imho.
Well let’s see here, the best Spvp classes are (in order of strongest to weakest)
1. Guardian
2. Thief
3. Mesmer
4. Necro
Most comps are 2 guardians, 1 mesmer/thief/necro. You are really confused why they are nerf’ing Guardians?
Problem with this game is that the pvp just pretty much just stinks. I am just bummed that I spent 50 bucks on it thinking that it might be a cool change from fps games, but after a couple weeks of game play this thing is going nowhere fast. On a side note, I do dig the mesmer and rogue. If you aren’t playing one of these two classess you got to check them out. I haven’t tried the guardian but they seem solid from what I have seen.
I do not play a necro as my main but I have played the class alot and they are not OP, the only reason they get so much play in tournament’s is because of there Guardian shut down powers. There are honestly alot of condition/toughness specs that can tear down a guardian. Sure there tough if they blow every cooldown use lich or plague with death shroud to maximize hp’s but OP NO.
The best builds to tear down bunker builds atm are actually mid way build’s that are so un-viable in pvp due to the high burst in this game nobody will run them. I even know of a ranger and warrior build that will tear down the best bunker built guardian in 1v1 pretty fast. Sadly those builds are meat for alot of burst classes.

Close but not quite:
1: Guardian: Stupid block glitch
2: Elementalist: Unkillable without the help of 3 people or 1 and a necro
3: Necro : Only because its great at killing bunkers thanks to all their boon removal, especially stability so u can nuke them down quickly.
4: Mesmer: Portal…nuff said.
5: Thief: Insane burst damage for quick point capping
6: Engineer: Good off point bunker that’s hard to bring down, also has a nice condition build as a roamer
7: Warrior: HB is vastly worse then Backstab atm even with a cordinated spike. It’s other weapons while viable, other classes do it better
8 Ranger: pretty obvious.
In 8v8:
Thief
Thief
Thief
Thief
Mes
Mes
Mes
Others….
dont know where you guys play but as warrior im normally 1st or second..:P ….. and i provide Decent control whilst the damage output is still good
But I am so close it scares me
