Guild Wars 2

Dear Anet,

Thanks for Runes of Speed in sPvP. Seriously. I’m grateful for not having to rely solely on Retreat to try and catch people. It’s nice to have options.

Options in mind, is there any chance we can Signet of Wrath changed to a 25% movement speed signet? I mean…a condition damage signet on a class that only has one damage condition seems…kinda spiteful.

Limiting our access to movement speed enhancers AND giving us very little uptime for snares and immobilizes is pretty harsh for a class with such a huge emphasis on melee weaponry.

I know you don’t want us to be as sticky as warriors or thieves because we have more access to healing and retaliation, so we shouldn’t necessarily NEED as much uptime…but since the 25% movement speed enhancer is already on the table via Runes of Speed, any chance we can get this 25% movement speed feature integrated someplace in our baseline trait/utility toolkit, like the other 7 classes in the game? I’m feeling a little bit left out here, fellas.

Thanks for all you do, but don’t be afraid to send a little more love this way.

Doesn’t seem likely as Anet is deadset on giving Guardians condi damage no matter how bad we are with it.

I may be wrong, but I’m sure I read somewhere they were intending to add more conditions to Guardian in future, or at least better methods of applying current ones.
I’m sure I remember seeing something to do with conditions but I’ve completely forgot where.

Ay, next patch they probaly “buff” us again by causing all our healing abilitys to apply bleed when used. On ourself ofcourse, you thought i meant the enemie?

Jesus sir, we are Guardians. If we have anything close to damage, soft cc or speed theyl make sure we have to sacrifice atleast 5x times the value to get them.

IIRC, the way Jon worded it (it’s somewhere in the Dec. patch preview thread here in the Guardian sub-forum) is that we’re getting more condis through sigils and runes, which everyone has access to. So while we’ll be getting more condis, other classes will also getting more on top of what they have: nothing changes and we still will be lacking in condis compared to others.

Actually, for the moment, if you need access to conditions, then use runes and sigils. Later on (like, the next main balance patch or further), they’ll be working on the condition guardian. for right now though, the power guardian is the focus of the team.

A dev said that classes really need access to 3 conditions for a reliable condition spec. He then said that they were reluctant to give guardians a 3rd condition other than via runes. I guess you can infer that they’re considering giving us a 2nd condition.
