Guardians Lack Interactive Combat
You need a bit of everything in a game. Following your suggestions would kill the class for many who prefer and chose it for a less twitchy gameplay.
This guy gets it. I totally understand liking a class’s flavor and utility but having issues with its gameplay, I can’t stand playing a warrior even though I like the class’s style and a lot of individual skills. I find that I play different characters based more on my mood than on the class itself.
I love my engie and ele, but I also love having a guardian to fall back and ease the twitchiness those classes cause. They’re the only class where I can really just slow down and calmly NOPE at anything an enemy tries to do to me and my allies.
Actually, the only class that hasn’t hooked me at all yet is the ranger. Even warriors I like going on a hammer rampage every once in a while.
