Guild Wars 2

Not only did it give us an out on the Sword’s 2, but it gave us an offensive purpose in WvW, wheras currently we are shoe-horned into being support-bots.

Also an aside, wouldn’t it be cool if they didn’t buff the Theives shortbow 2, and kept their main use to be infiltration like the Guardian? I think DAoC did this to all the melee classes, b/c they sucked so bad in Realm v Realm, they allowed them to breach walls to give them a purpose.

…Guardians used as Infiltration?

No. Please, no. Totally doesn’t fit the feel of the class at all. That’s more Thief, possibly Ranger possibly Warrior territory.

Maybe wouldn’t fit the usual guardian class of other MMOs but imo it totally fits the GW2 guardian

I can understand why you’d want it, but it would get rather strong in sPvP (Battle of Khylo’s Clocktower comes to mind).

How great would it be to hop up to a keep wall then push all the defenders off into your Army. muhahahaha.

This, combined with the “Leeroy Jenkins” shout thread, would just be too epic to describe with words.

No. You didn’t think this through.

Within a week everyone in WvW would be using Guardians. There is no point using any other class if one can just ignore walls.

Even the strongest keep would fall in minutes to a small team of level 20 guardians.

Mesmer can go through with a previously setup a portal…and bring others along with him, yet you don’t see armies of Mesmer in WvW.

Honestly I like the idea of some classes being able to infiltrate a bases defenses, that way it would give the defenders on the wall something to watch for and give melee classes a purpose in wvw.

Ramza, that’s kind of a stretch. Yes, technically, if you JUST lost a keep, you could teleport up there once assuming you put down the other portal before the initial one expired, but that’s a hell of a long way from just being able to loljump up any wall with someone standing on it.

This plus Shield’s #5 would be utterly annoying.

To add up, perhaps the Leeroy Jenkins shout.

Just to say how hilarious this is, just yesterday I went leroy jenkins on a team of 10 (I kitten you not) players holding a trebuchet near stargroove on the cliff and I just used 5# and Puff all gone.

Now imagine that happening on the walls, you get on the wall #5 shield half the enemies would be thrown inside the keep and half to your army, not to mention other skills like #5 Hammer and #5 Staff all the while making wall of reflection and bubbles to hold on in the wall all the while your eles are melting the ones focusing you.
