Guild Wars 2

Master of consecration should be baseline instead of consecrated ground.

Blasting staff became baseline because it was a “must have” on staff eles, same with necro wells.

However consecrated ground was not a “must have” for guardians that uses consecrations.

Also because a lot of guardians don’t use consecrated ground trait because it competes with good traits like absolute resolution, we are NOT USED to it. It feels wierd now to aim your mouse before using wall of reflection or purging flames. No matter how fast your reaction was, even .5 second delay because of aiming can make a big difference in some situations.

I agree, I still cannot get used to ground targetting Wall of Reflection

Ground-targetted Purging Flames is kicking kitties however

And yes, the delay of mouse-targetted WoR means you will get hit by some attacks. You can still quick-cast it at your feet if you want. But I want my PF available to be “thrown”, so….

The ability to place Wall of Reflection on one’s allies is invaluable; running all the way to someone who is taking a lot of projectile damage and then casting it simply isn’t practical. Casting Sanctuary on a downed ally or enemy from range is also pretty valuable since it has a long cast time and is fairly easily interrupted.

Well, I prefer for Purging Flames to actually purge conditions rather than quick-casting it at my feet and then having to run out of the area before the cast finishes. I would even go as far as taking a “Consecrations are NOT ground targeted” trait.

Umm, it doesn’t make any sense for a -cooldown/+duration trait to be made baseline, because that’s just a straight up buff. Making ground targeted consecrations baseline makes sanctuary and hallowed ground a lot more useful.

Regarding the issue they could have an option for “cast at player location” unless you hold the button down which will make it the same as fast target. Of course, you’ll be at a disadvantage against anyone that is fast enough to cast it where they want but it doesn’t matter at this point.

Please don’t take this away from the people who are actually thankful for it. Just learn to quick-cast like the rest of us and you will be fine.

Lol base ground targeting is so freakin nice, please dont listen to this.

PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE DEFAULT CONSECRATED GROUND. SOME OF US WANT THE GROUND TARGETTING.

Instead, provide an option in game settings that switches off ground targetting skills automatically and making them proc on the player himself. This would serve the players complaining about ground targetting. If you don’t like it, you can just turn it off yourself. Don’t let those who use it suffer because some players can’t use their mouse.

Purging flames ground targetting serves as remote condition clear or remote burning for condi build .

Wall of reflection ground targetting does WONDERS in guarding your commanders in wvw and the keep lords.

Sanctuary ground targetting is remote CC and remote healing ,

Hollowed ground ground targetting is long range are stability which does awesome in pvp, and wvw to those that use it.

Having ground targetting is GIVING YOU OPTIONS and more use of your class. Learn to adapt to it or ask for the option to turn it off. But definitely DONT ASK FOR THEM TO TAKE AWAY CLASS FLEXIBILITY FROM PLAYERS . That’s just backward thinking !
