Guild Wars 2

website IS acting up, very oddly !

Bloodclot.4896:

I think the real thing that would benefit guards the most would be changes to the game itself. There is to much emphasis on zergs rather than real team play, something the guardian would excel at given half a chance.

Zerging is core part of WvW, so they will never change that. If you don’t like zerging, I suggest trying a lower tier server. I think any servers on the silver tier (except Fort Aspenwood and Hedge of Denravi) would be great for small havoc squad. I went back and forth between FA and YB and they feel different.

Much bigger health pool
Better escaping
Better healing than warriors (we were meant to have it in the first place…)
Pure of voice to convert three conditions to boons

but not all at the same time, no-one wants guardians to become just a better version of warriors

Wish list:

1. Either a new elite skill that doesn’t transform the skillbar (like an elite spirit weapon) or else allow us to place a utility skill into the elite spot

2. A 25% movement increase signet

3. Improved spirit weapon AI (or lacking that, reduce spirit weapon cooldowns)

What about an elite signet with 25% movement speed?

Replacements for garbage downed-oriented traits, specifically:

• Revenge of the Fallen
• Resolute Healer
• Strength of the Fallen
• Protective Reviver

Replacements for traits that buff useless Spirit Weapons, (unless SW are buffed) i.e.

• Spirit Weapon Mastery
• Eternal Spirit
• Wrathful Spirits
• A Fire Inside
• Improved Spirit-Weapon Duration

9 of 60 traits that nobody uses. That’s 15% of Guardian traits.

• Resolute Healer

This is actually a usual pick in sPvP :P

I like that idea!

exactly . most of players focus on damage role of guardian and they missed the real mission of guardians that is in just one word.

Protect !

Until the main focus of the game is moved away from beating DPS with more DPS there’s no way Guardians should be left behind in the above aspects.

Guardians are already the top defensive class. Unless you decide on only using certain meditations, I don’t know what to tell you.

Guardians are already the top defensive class. Unless you decide on only using certain meditations, I don’t know what to tell you.

defense includes aegis , block ,Invulnerability, blind and stealth .

lets read the wiki about these and take some stats .

1. Invulnerability
2. aegis
3. block
4. blind
5. stealth

except the aegis and block where we have the most in all other defensive skills we are not in the first place and ofc in stealth we have none .

i do not think stealth is correct for guards but i think the guardians need more blindness utilities to protect their allies and him self from incoming damage .

as first thought i think the hallowed ground (nobody is using it now) is ready to take a nice boost to be the right utility to all parties that want stay and fight in small area (choke points) if devs replace the fire combo field with a dark combo field ( if was smoke will wonderful ) to protect the area and his allies with aoe blind .

after this i can tell that guardian will be equal to other classes in defense utilities and we will see more guards using more concentrate skills except purging flame .

i would like to see more aoe symbols with two hand weapon
scpeter is bit slow and #2 is not a symbol
sword block is just absorb and doesnt react as block and have now symbol skill
focus/torch and shield have no symbol
so maybe shield create water symbol as it main utility is as defense weapon
torch as an offense weapon so fire field symbol
and focus maybe blind symbol

also speed signet,
and if anet already buff our condition burning maybe few more conditions like with AA
scepter weakness for 2 second
sword vulnerability for 3 seconds as high risk/reward weapon
GS cripple for 1 seconds
hammer chill for 1 second (instead of trait which is useless) as hammer easy to avoid
