Guild Wars 2

Yes, another topic for it.

Dragon Hunter skill line need more interaction with the bow.

->Bulwark -> Scrap shield of courage bonus and add it base line. Add Bow Specialist talent. Bow skills recharge 20% faster and auto attacks grant swiftness. All guardians weapons have the recharge talent and guardian is the only class without perma swift. This talent fix both.

->Dulled senses -> Knockbacks on dungeons sometimes causes troubles. Change it for knockDOWN.

->Big game hunter -> Change it for: Increase bow damage by 10% and bow skills cause vulnerability.

Also, i will like the whole trap concept go away… but i guess is too late for this. First, if i was hunting big dragons, use silly little traps on their feet seems like a waste. Also, we are ranged. We don’t want to go into melee to use our skills. Traps need to be ranged or changed for another thing. Like tricks ala Thief (know to hide or run vs a dragon seems like a good idea) or some kind of rally point (similar to necro wells).

The new elite skill need to go away. It affect 1 target, is a trap (so you need to go melee). Give us something ranged. Like, a super snipe shoot or we grow wings and levitate 5 secs above the ground making us invulnerable to melee hits.

Corelion.7460:

->Dulled senses -> Knockbacks on dungeons sometimes causes troubles. Change it for knockDOWN.

The trigger requires the target be very close to you. If you’re not supposed to knock it, don’t walk up to it. If it’s chasing you, you absolutely want the added separation a knockback gives.

Alternatively, you could just not equip that trait for dungeons.

Hi,

I tried the dragon hunter and the way the virtues worked imho was another way that makes the guardian less effective. I would suggest a different cool-down method or a way not to have to overlap the virtues trait line w/o losing the effectiveness of virtue recharge while the dragon hunter trait selected. i.e. virtue recharge 20% when dragon hunter selected.
thanks

I would absolutely not take any of these suggestions

I think you are on the wrong track. the Traits should interact with the core mechanic and the new twist the Elite specialisation brings. not with the weapon. that it actually the biggest gripe for most. yes have two or three traits that will boost bow and traps but not more.
