Guild Wars 2

And when a warrior can spec dps he doesn’t need to Spec for any vitality. Tell me, how do all those “mitigation tools” you boast about (which warriors have many of as well) handle against a thief burst where you have less than a second to react? Only that helps is base HP.

Knox you’re clearly stuck in the past. With players like you, I’m glad I no longer play- have fun with the thread you hijacked.

Enjoy your pigeonholed boonbot so the other real classes can dps.

Why are you posting if you arent playing the game? Are you that kitten bored? And if you have a problem with thiefs as Guardian then clearly the problem is between the PC and the chair.

And for the people that still believe that the whole Bunker/Support stuff is outdated. I won’t say anything about that mentality where “If I kill more I am strong. If I don’t kill, I am weak”. That’s older than the History of MMoRPG’s itself.

Offensive Guardians are nice. But that’s still not where this class is focused too.
No one is gonna blame you for playing another class if you prefer to play more offensively.
Just don’t try to make a bunker build on a Thief and expect it to work.

Actually, bunker thief would be reasonable if stealth didn’t prevent them from contesting points. They have insane healing and condition removal with solid durability and decent damage – it’s just that they don’t serve a purpose outside of WvW.

Um, who said playing bunker/support is outdated? I think the topic is about a offensive Guardian and DPS. Moreover, what said Guardian player has to give up in order to do so when compared to other classes. Maybe that is something everyone can agree on, maybe not but it is different, agreed?

Furthermore, there is no primary healing role in this game and it was sold that you can trait anyway you want for different styles of play. Is it then only right for a Guardian to DPS? Whatever that is? There are no damage meters here other than who lives and who dies. PvE it is a moot point. However, in the other two formats of play it does matter.

Oh, and in regards to the Thief. They can reset the fight at will, can they not? This is in regards to your comment about trying to bunker on a thief. Pressure or delay of time can be done, is done, and will continue to be done.

I personally don’t play a bunker nor ever have. I run the slower and safer pace healing/support and only do so in WvW. I also go DPS but has someone pointed out in another thread, running a DPS build has a Guardian is, well, selfish.

Just my personal opinion.

Go away, your like that drunk dude that leaves a voice mail on his ex-girlfriends phone about how much he doesn’t miss her.

The OP’s post is actually improved if you read it in your head with slurred drunk speech, rofl!
