Guardian need more cond dmg and fury
ANet don’t want to make a Guardian a viable dps, or condition damage dealer.
There’s some good berserker builds whit meditations, but you will never be like all the other dps classes. In DPS mode a Guardian can’t obtain might (only 1 every 1 sec when crit, that last 5 sec, or whit sigils and runes). And about fury, you can only obtain it by SYS, that in spvp is brutally nerfed (and th necro’s signet that give all the conditions isn’t… grrr), whit meditation (if traited) or when someone burn you, whit the apposite trait.
You can nnot be a dps class. Direct damage or Condition damage, don’t change so much. ANet don’t want to make the guardian able to change it’s role.
Guardis is the only class that isn’t identified by it’s specific skills but by it’s Role.
About the conditions… ANet want to make the Guardian a “good” class, the one that heal and defend. That’s because we’re not a Bunker class, we’re a Cleric class. No damage, high support ability, a large amount of self healing ability and some heal for our allies, and the HP of a mage.
Then, a Guardian can’t ruin it’s reputation using Bledd, Poison, Confusion, Torment or other bad things. It’s a defender, that burn it’s enemy whit the holy fire of justice!
Burn is the powerfull condition damage skill of the game… if you don’t give to your enemy 20+ stack of bleeding. Then you see that Burning don’t give all that damage…
Next mounth there’s the biggest patch of GW2 (they say…), a new Living Story, and some other good stuffs that they will reveal lately.
We can only wait and hope.
