Guild Wars 2

I think the guardian class needs to have some soft CC conditions on several of the weapons. I don’t want to QQ, I’m simply trying to suggest something.

People often claim guardians have mobility problems but that’s not actually true, the main weakness is that they cannot really impede other classes through means of conditions.

Example:
I can catch up with a ranger just fine, but he might have swiftness, and many evades. So I can’t keep up. I have leaps and teleports but he’s faster and I can’t slow him down. In the end, unless he messes up and I can burst him bit by bit, he’ll kite me until I run out of options.

Here’s what I’d suggest.

- Greatsword 5, when using pull causes 3 seconds of cripple to all affected targets.
- Hammer 4, when hitting a target, applies cripple and weakness for 7 seconds.
- Mace 3, when triggered applies weakness to all targets for 5 seconds
- Sword 2, instead of blinding, chills the target for 2 seconds.
- Shield 4, applies chill to 5 enemies for 3 seconds.

These are not overpowered changes but they’re changes that make sense to allow the guardian to catch up and stay catched up with a running opponent until he either removes the condition, it expires becasue of short duration or simply dodges.

You are preaching to the converted . We have beat this horse to death several times. Anet doesn’t see the need to give us any. There was a huge discussion on this on the class balance forum just last week.

Oh we do have it. It just sucks.

Glacial Heart’s cooldown needs to be 1/10 of what it already is.

Also, there needs to be a trait that grants chill on burn. That would be awesome which is why it won’t happen.

permanent 240 radius symbol, pokeball guardian, immobilize, swiftness with staff, ability to have 3 teleports and one jump… Snare with Greatsword, There’s CC on almost every single weapon…
Can get more chill with runes, cripple with sigils get ’m, use ’m and stop bothering the devs for stuff that you already have and can get.

I do not know in which dimension a dps guardian can have all of those at once and still do damage, but I’m pretty sure They only have 2 offensive teleports and a sigil of cripple on crit doesn’t exist. I also don’t know what a pokeball guardian is but it sounds delcious.

Try some duels versus high tier players on a dps guard, you’ll see what I mean pretty fast.
