Guild Wars 2

Am I the only one who thinks it’s just fine? Besides needing a faster projectile speed on auto attack I had 0 issues or complaints with the beta testing. I really enjoyed using longbow over a scepter torch. I liked the traits I had a well and it really didn’t impact my sword/focus really at all.

probably.

I don’t mind the new playstyle. What I don’t like about the DH is its performance. I want to feel like Traps is doing work or have the feeling that the Bow is contributing to the fight. I felt like it can contribute. It just needs that oomph.

The idea of dragonhunter is nice.

But in practice it was very underwhelming & not just because of the projectile speed.

The main problem was how much utility, condition removal & self healing you give up for just a little bit of damage that can be easily avoided.

Its good in pve try it in pvp or wvw…you will get slaughtered in miliseconds.

Luckily for me then I don’t like pvp or wvw

I don’t think the Dragonhunter is horrible, but it just hasn’t felt like part of the Guardian to me (yet) although aesthetically I think the traps and longbow skills fit fairly well. Then again, with things like Spirit Weapons being unwieldy rather than iconic, the Guardian has been feeling a bit unfocused for some time.

On a skill and trait based level it debuted as something rather underwhelming, but that’s something Karl and the team are already making quite a lot of progress on rectifying.

If I had one thing to really convey to the dev team, it’s that they should take the passionate responses to the Dragonhunter as a symbol of how much people love the Guardian profession and want to see it further elevated.

Yeah, I think many players are of the opinion that Dragonhunter doesn’t yet feel right, but the latest batch of changes to the elite spec seem to suggest it’s finally going in a much more appropriate direction and I, for one, am feeling significantly more optimistic.

EDIT: After reviewing the other elite specializations I’ve changed my mind. Dragonhunter is awful right now and even the trait and skill changes they’ve made so far are nowhere near effective enough to redeem this “elite” specialization. Compared to the others it’s a joke right now

yea but 95% do like it.(myself included there)

Traps are terrible. Traits are getting better, but are still pretty meh. Bow is cool, but not cool enough to justify sacrificing an entire traitline to be replaced by meh traits IMO. Name is garbage. Glove and bow skins are garbage.

No Dragons to hunt in PvP or WvW.
