I don’t think its good for the health of the game for Guardians to be able to kill people 1v2 in ~1 second.

sigil of rage haste procs? both thief and warriors provide reliable burst. too many variables for the guardian (binding blade has to land). i played a roaming GS guard in tpvp, he wasnt bad.

At it again I see Jumper.

Well for the number of times I’ve been jumped by a glass cannon guardian I think I couldn’t really care a whole lot less about time being spent to nerf that terrible terrible build. When it becomes an issue I’m sure that the forums will have endless threads QQing about it. You should be able to relate since you signed off as a Thief/Warrior players.

Maybe if I understood WHY you have been posting all these videos with builds asking for a growing list of classes to get nerfed other than Thief/War. Are you wanting to preserve their place in the cheese burst factory?

gotta love his frantic key fumbling in the background, every time lol

Are videos of hotjoin games supposed to prove something?

What 1v2? I see you start with a Whirling Wrath for all of 6k damage, and then the fight is a 2v2. You have 14k HP and less escape abilities/general mobility than any other Profession.

Awesome button mashing, I think I heard you make 50 key presses in order to initiate 4 skills……. Binding Blade, Symbol, Bind Recall and Whirling Wrath.

You’re playing 8v8, your build will be obliterated in organised team play because you offer a much worse alternative to Thief/Warrior/Mesmer/Elementalist burst.

Plus we all know you play for around 10-12 hours a day, and 2 minutes of footage to back up your ‘glasscannon Thief/Warrior perspective argument’ is all you could scrounge up?

If anyone wants to feel better about themselves and their skill level, you should check out this guys backpeddaling, button mashing TwitchTV stream.

they usually prove thief is op, so why not guardian?

99% of images/video about “oh myt god im too pro to l2p so nerf thief pl0x” are in hotjoin.

If I had to choose fighting against bunker or glass cannon guardian, I would pick the last one. I’m tired of these bunkers doing nothing but existing on battlefield, and I hope more people will play like this.

So you weren’t being sarcastic in the last thread?

We have really different definitions of what 1 second is.

The first fight, you initiate at 0:12 and down your target at 0:16.
The second fight, you initiate at 0:42 and down your target at 0:47. You weren’t alone
The third fight, you initiate at 1:07 and down your target at 1:11.

The deeps is nice, but compared to thief, ele, warrior, and mesmer, 3-5 seconds is barely considered burst damage.

ok so from 100% to 0% 2v1 in 3-5 secs can be considered hard dps or roflstomp TTK ?

In a game where thieves kill people in 1/2 second, and ele/mesmer/warrior kill them in 1-2 seconds, 3-5 seconds doesn’t seem that high.

I would prefer for the combat to be slower and based more around strategy and thinking instead of twitch, but 3-5 seconds is plenty of time to react and prevent the bulk of his burst. In the current game, this video doesn’t show anything out of the ordinary, and is actually lower than other classes burst.

Now, is the guardian too beefy to have that level of burst? Valid discussion.

Everyone knows the more you hit the keys the faster they come out.

Couldn’t touch my Ranger with that nonsense. I am jealous of your GS aa, though! Makes me want to do some glass cannon crap for fun again.

For being aoe it cute, for a pubstomper build anything really work.

I was just thinking that. I main Ele/Ranger and I can guarantee my reflexes are good enough to avoid the bulk of that damage unless I’m already locked, debuffed and am completely out of CD, which is a slim chance if OP is trying to roam with that build.

I’m pretty sure he’s just extending his satire about how people QQ on these forums. Replace the Guardian in these videos with burst Thieves and Mesmers, and you’d have dozens of people jumping in to complain about how OP those classes are, despite the fact that we’ve seen the same threads done to death since release. Posting another thread about it is, as I understand it, just mocking the abundance of threads about Thieves and Mesmers, and isn’t a serious complaint about burst Guardians. So you can hold on to your faith in humanity for a little while longer. =P
