Good video on the state of traits
A tl;dw for those who can’t be bothered. “Over 90% of these traits are absolutely horrific”

Is he wrong?

No hes absolutely right. Wrong traits in wrong line, useless traits, long cds, 80% weapon skills suck… It’s like someone who got no clue how Guardian works did last quality update cough cough karl cough cough.
This guy seems to have a handle on some of the laughably poorly thought out Guardian traits. His wep one was hilariously on point too, but was a bit ranty.
Pretty much agree with everything he says. If I could buy him a beer I would.
Shame he cant post here as Anet has apparently banned him – not that it would change anything as this balance team has a terrible track record with regards to open dialogue discussions on profession design. Invisible for 99% of the year, only appearing briefly before expansions, then swiftly vanishing again. Meh.
Oh it’s Arken, he’s a good guy. He’s just really passionate about the guardian. Yea I’ve been playing guardian for a long time and it’s always felt like we usually got the bottom of the barrel when it comes to certain skills. Like our signet that allows us to rez ONE person, meanwhile necro has one that will rez THREE people…. wtf… why?
Also spirit weapons…….
He actually is on spot , i might not agree 100% with what he said but 99% is true…
BTW if guardian has anoyance skills, needs nerf because makes other players look bad… and then Anet end buffing already strong metas for other look good, sadly this is what it looks what they are doing….
1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.

Oh thats why warrior is now super strong, no wonder. But he is responsible for making DH traits and guardian traits after HoT and lots of nerfs. He absolutely have no clue.
Anet is forced to work with the original Vanilla trait line strategy where things weren’t thought up as Symbol specializations, Block specializations, Medi specializations, etc. etc. It was a bit more diverse because they wanted it to be, until pro-game’s meta builds said otherwise.
It needs to be prioritized yet again (since they released that patch before HoT, last year I think.) but that would take a complete rework of every class. How powerful would every Symbol & Damage modifier in 1 trait line, followed by every Burn & Crit in another trait line (Supreme Justice & Permeating Wrath in Radiance) etc. etc.
It will likely never happen.

He brings up some good points but it’s solely based on PvP for the most part. Made me sad though, such a kittenty class. xD

I mean, it’s not like we have retaliation WvW or PvE builds either.
A little savagery now and then is relished by the wisest men.
Don’t cry, Signet of Mercy. Others may forget you, but I will always remember.
Our deficiencies may be overcome by practice and self-discipline.

Even though He based it on a PvP perspective (where is has a history of being a extremely high ranked player) He is right about everything that he said.
Even in WvW and PvE you have to admit that so much of the guardian kit is just crap that nobody would ever want to use for anything that challenges them.
