Guild Wars 2

PS. Toughness < Vitality in GW2

Agree with OP my guardian feels subpar to everything my warrior do twice as much dps while still being twice as tanky with a dps setup, my necro feels WAY tankier than my guardian 2 or 3 times as tanky EVEN if there is not as many mobs dieing. My mesmer is much better at blocking projectiles. I play it because i like the mechanics but even tough it feels subpar to pretty anything else they can do everything average good its nothing they are extremely weak in. Do they deserve a buff? absolutely if anything at least give them a little more dps. Guardian in full berserker is the squishiest build there is, Elementalist is a little more squishy but at least they get some mobility and proper healing.

I think we can all agree that the Guardian needs a little help. Its not that we have gotten Nerfed lately. But the combination of those original nerfs when we were considered OP and the recent buffs to some other classes, (Yes I am looking at you Necros) has lead to us starting to get picked off much easier then we should be. I chose to play a guardian because I like being the Tank of my group. However I didn’t realize till after Ieveled my warrior that The guardian hp pool was so freaking low. In any other MMO this would be a bad joke. I would be ok with our lower damage IF we had the HP to stand tall as a tank.

However since Anet wanted to break the mold they tried to make it so that every job could do everything well enough to play. And look what happend. Elementalist lost their flare. I remember nuking the kitten out of stuff in Guild Wars 1. Now the Elementailist is my least favorite. It feels to much like glass and not enough like cannon. My guardian who should be the tanky one isn’t. I am all for equality in the classes.

But if everyone else is getting buffed its about Time the Guardian got a little love too.
