Guild Wars 2

I think Guardians should have Axe weapon skills, It bothers me that its the only melee weapon they cannot wield. I get that they’re a mix between Caster and Melee, but Necro uses Axe as a Caster, and if that doesnt stop them why should it for Guardian? I would pref if it were a melee rather than caster weapon for guardian though, perhaps sword should be more of a caster weapon for them.

Conceptually, Axe seems a little brutal for a Guardian.

Guardian needs a new ranged weapon, something faster then the scepter. Longbow or shotbow would be great.

Or Crossbow … if they add anything like this

Personally I’d prefer a longbow. But adding crossbows to the game is a good idea.

Agreed that Guardians need a better ranged weapon before getting more melee ones. Though i do agree that axes should be an addition to Guardians. Also a lot of people claim they are too violent but compare it to the brutal bludgeoning of a mace and they look rather PG if you ask me

Guardians need halberds.
Axes are for woodfolk.

Guardians supposedly had a Longbow skillset very early on, data mining showed some evidence of it.

We could definitely use a longbow, but I think we could use the following: Another damage weapon, and another control weapon. I think we’ve got plenty of support.

1: Shooting Star
Justice: Your arrows gain increased range and whenever your Virtue of Justice applies burning, you also apply cripple.
Retribution: Your arrows lose range, but fire much more quickly.

2: Searing Star:
Justice: Wind up a long-range piercing shot that applies up to 10 seconds weakness onto targets it hits.
Retribution: Wind up a long range piercing shot that applies up to 5 seconds burning on targets it hits.

3: Comet Dust:
Justice: Rain down a barrage of arrows that apply chilled on enemies.
Retribution: Rain down a barrage of arrows that reveal stealthed enemies and apply 6 stacks of vulnerability.

4: Symbol of Truth
Justice: Places a ground-targeted symbol that grants Fury to allies.
Retribution: Places a ground targeted symbol that strips boons from enemies.

5: Justice / Retribution:
Channel your energies into the bow to empower it with damaging or controlling effects.

I prefer an off-hand Mace with skill to Single-Pull the target to you, just like Aion’s Templar pull (If any of you played it before). Range about 600 should be quite nice.

That way, Guardian is more like a cc tank.
