Guild Wars 2

I am digging the new dungeon and all, but in the end it only makes more apparent mechanics that have been kittening me off about dungeons lately… my CC as a guardian feels pretty much useless in Dungeons, and less than useless in this new flame and frost dungeon.

I want try to split up mobs with my wards, to make it easier for my group to take on larger groups? Not in the flame and frost dungeon, because even though most of the mobs don’t have the unshakable trait or immune to mobilize icon, they just walk right through my wards anyhow.

I want to use Wall of Reflection to protect my ranged squishes. No, sorry, pretty much every projectile in this dungeon ignores WOR.

And this isn’t an issue I am perceiving solely in dungeons, WvW is another area where I feel my CC is useless but, for me, dungeons are the worst. It’s feels like the only difficulty being added is just through making everything but damage useless. Anyone else feel this way? Anet, can this please be looked at?

You have done fractals right? In the volcanic fractal wards are great the beginning of the stage and in uncategorized fractal WoR and SoA are your teams ticket to victory.

Not sure what you are doing,
But my wall of reflection is reflecting 8k shots in MF…

On final boss, wall of reflection+shield of the avenger+shield bubble protects your group from the firestorm boss aoe while you melee the other guy.

on trash, LoS+Hammer CC+WoR+"Everyone AOE now!" clear mobs really fast… The regen and protection of HtL coupled with the constant protection+retaliation from hammer makes things great…

Just dont be that guardian that pushes mobs all over the place with your shield and get your group on the center of a cross-fire without any chance to protect itself…
Oh yeah… And it kitten es me off when I use banish to remove a mob from the flaming invul circle just to have a freaggin spammy ranger to use his bow to push the mob right back in there.
