Guild Wars 2

With the Daredevil introduced we are sinking to last place of elite specializations. YOU know it suck WE know it suck. But you have time to revamp it!!!
There are no real sync with guardian so I am proposing removing of traps and giving us wards. New elite -> Avenger (surrounds himself by magical power and kill his opponents with magical bow attacks (yea bow sound must change into something magical)

Virtues->
F1 does same thing as DH but activating it gives fire field below character (240 radius) for 3 sec
F2 does same stuff like DH but gives water field below character (240 radius) for 3 sec
F3 does same stuff like DH but gives light field below guardian (240 radius) for 3 sec

Guardian bow 5# skill is a ward

Heal skill:
-name- heal guardian for 10k plus 3k for every enemy player inside a ward (320 radius) and making smokescreen – blind enemy targets for 2 sec(30 sec cd) instant cast(proposed to change and balance) – combo field ethereal

-utility1- (3 sec ward time) when enemy comes inside your ward you gain swiftness and fury while enemy gains slow and chilled for 2.5 sec. When enemy tries to go out of a ward that time is increased by 1.5 sec. (instant cast) 25 sec cd – combo field dark

-utility 2- (4 sec ward time) enemies trying to get in you ward gain random condition (2 burning, 5 bleeding, 3 tormen/confusion/poison) and losing 1 random buff for every 2 sec’s. (might change) – combo field lightning – 30 sec cd- instant cast -

-utility 3- (4 sec ward) create a ward that will protect yourself. Every enemy hit clears your condition and giving you their boons in melee range. 25 sec cd – instant cast

-utility4- (3 sec) create a ward that blocks projectiles and gives protection. If projectiles give some kind of condition your enemy gains cc effect (s 2 sec) after ward finishes duration (knockdown, blowout, knockback,stun,daze)- combo field light 20 sec cd – instant cast

-elite- same as DH but its a ward

Traits:
minor
-25% moving speed while wielding longbow
-decrease ward cd’s by 20%

major
increase radius of wards by 60

grandmaster
- increase duration of wards by 1 sec)

well thats it..some weapons that dont have symbol attacks (like sword, torch and similar) gets area utilities. Plus it sync with hammer. 1.5hours of my time

any thoughts?

(edit: Avenger is selfish he does not care for enybody but himself and not giving any boons to allies only himself)
I know it sucks but its better than traps.

Dude, a name change isn’t going to happen. There was a 72 page discussion about it. If they haven’t done it by now, it’s simply not going to happen.

Traps and Bow are staying. It took too much employee hours to design the sfx, sound (though they’re revising it thx to Karl!), design structure, etc and this isn’t dedicated to just 1 person.

The only thing we can do is offer feedback about what’s at hand, the mechanics of Traits/Bow/Traps.

I dont care about name..it can be called Doormaker or Aliensqueezer it’s about traps. They are bad and we have already Spirit weapons that are bad. As everybody else got something good (2x shouts, warrior new utility…etc…) we need something to be competitive. Watching all other specialization gets good or excellent stuff its just stunning how DH is really bad compared to them. Noone will use traps with DH instead they will stick to meditations. They had an idea but its badly done. They even removed conditions from traps. I mean wtf traps without condi dmg? BAD. They have time to change it. If they want to sell HoT to me they need to do kitten good changes to DH until 23rd october. It’s better for them to accept their error and make revamp of DH than to release this badly utilized elite specialization. Even Tempest (which is bad) is better (I think elementalist would agree to this).

I know you will tell me to go away play wow or something, if you don’t want to buy hot then don’t bla bla. I main guardian for 3 years and I think I speak for the majority of the guardians – traps are bad (even my whole guild knows it’s bad). It is maybe fun at first but its BAD. Fun != competitive.

None of the core concepts introduced for ANY of the elite specs are going to change to something different; you’re stuck with everything you see – LB, traps, traits and name. If you think any of that can change at this point, you’re not thinking sensible as players, nor is it sensible way to react as a devs.

Yes, let’s change everything to Avenger. Also, let’s change Tempest because people also don’t like that. Also, let’s change Reaper, chronomancer, berserker, daredevil, and whatever the engi specialization is. Let’s also change the maps for HoT, and masteries because some people have expressed discontent. Let’s do all that before the Oct 23 release date. That shouldn’t be a problem at all right?

Some? Ask any guardian ingame what they think about traps – you will get your answer. They like LB but hate traps.

None of that matters. Seriously.
