Dragonhunter is a joke...
and an INSULT to guardian players.
It is so bad compared to the core traits and weapons, i cannot begin to understand the logic behind this ridiculous attempt at an “elite spec”
Let me start with the problems:
Longbow skills are pathetic:
#1: an inferior version of trickshot that unless you are offshooting at people in a zerg, or in PVE, is just a pathetic autoattack with no added functionality and mediocre dmg. The arrow speed IS getting buffed but the functionality when it comes to sPVP and bosses is nonexistent
#2: It has a cost time and it ROOTS you in place. Has anyone in the internal team tried that versus a non-AI opponent? Has anyone ever tried the DH in sPVP AT ALL? do you honestly think you can land that on ANY remotely competent player out there? Cuz i sure as hell don’t think so. You can give the skill 20k base damage and your average mesmer, thief, ele, and even warrior now will 100-0 you with no chance of fighting back
#3: Its being looked at. the idea is ok but the velocity needs to be reduced and width doubled at least
Your comments are a joke.
- an inferior version of Trickshot? Have you even ever played a Thief and used the Shortbow? My guess would be no. Puncture Shot does more damage than Trick shot and adds cripple on the bounce AND has 1200 range AND has higher velocity.
- True Shot is a HIGH power spike skill that roots you in place. There are several ways for you to achieve a hit with True Shot aside from casually using it. It’s 1200 range pierces, is a finisher AND is on a short cooldown.
- Width doubled, you kidding me right?
You have no remote idea about class balance.
kitten , just noticed this is a necro post.
I don’t read these forums much (only to see if anyone has tested anything new) but I have been pretty happy with the DH. I’m a WvW player and DH is truly the only profession that worries me. I played guard since launch and the DH really has provided me everything that I felt I was missing and kept it in line with what the guardian does best. Could be just me but if anet made any major changes to DH I would be kittened.
Wvw vids- the last 10ish are dragon Hunter and Druid
total let down ….. but every game its usually 1 -2 dh on both teams. Its funny all gards i see are playing DH pve or pvp…. when i see warriors i never see any beserks unless its in fractals…… So i think compared to other elite specs dh did quite well…. Get nerfed. I rerolled to DH from my warrior and the damage utility and overall abilities are far improved and less buggy.
