Guild Wars 2

I played all the classes and i think the guardian and the engineer doesnt really much of a ground game when you are about to die.

1. - Is the worst of all the abilities. The damage is super poor and its a channel. You cant switch target until you finish the full lenght of it. I think that if this ability only is changed, it would make the guardian better on the ground. Often i go down, still mashing buttons and he start auto attacking and i didnt get to pick the lowest health target to try and drop it and die because it took 2-3 seconds of channeling that weak beam on a full health mob.

1. - i guess its ok. The damage is not there either but since its a push which is useful both in pve and pvp, i could live with it that way, would love perhaps like a 10% damage boost on it.

1. - not bad to get a chunk of health back, didnt try with bigger symbols and healing symbols if it make it better because its so small that it usually dont hit anything ( if it can in the first place) but its a good help.

So yeah , basically when i get on the ground, its a death sentence where as my thief, ranger, warrior, elementalist and even necro i felt like i had a fighting chance.

When I go down I ask for a Battle Standard.

Otherwise yeah, guardians don’t have great downed abilities.

I think we got decent downed abilities, not too strong, not too weak.

It’s only the #1 ability that annoys me, that it’s channeled, and you can’t change target until it’s done channeling.

The #2 pushback is alright, could be instant instead of that short cast time.

You can change target with #1 by pressing escape and hitting a different target.

I don’t have a problem with them.

Wrath goes through multiple enemies.

Wave of Light is an AoE knockback, nice once again.

Symbol of Judgment punishes people that don’t stomp, and try to dps you down.

Yeah, overall our downed state isn’t too horrible. #1’s damage is actually pretty decent if you are actually traited for damage instead of full bunker, and the healing symbol is pretty decent if you can get it off.

Yeah, Wrath (downed skill one) is by far and away the worst downed skill of any profession. It’s overly lengthy, focuses too often on the wrong target, and doesn’t do enough damage to make up for either of those cons.

Wave of Light is nice against swarms, and Symbol of Judgment is really great if you can get it off. But, yeah, because of Wrath being so awful, a downed Guardian can be in some real trouble.

oh yes, they suck, well not really , skill 3 is actually a really powerful heal, but I cant actually remember the last time I got one off before either beign ressed, rallying or being stomped/dps’d down.

But meh, if you go down you are probably dead anyway, as it takes and awful lot of incomming dmg to take a guardian down anyway.
