June 17th Patch Addendum
Ok shield knockback I can see, but the rest? Really? What if a doe just walks into it?
Typical tunnel visioned crap for balance changes just for the sake of it.
Like Guardians had too much mobility…
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Its likely because knockback isn’t too insignificant of a thing. They can also cause interrupts, which could proc perplex runes. If anything they were changes for consistency across professions. Then again, maybe not.
OOOH BOY!!
What is this bullkitten????
“Guardians in a good place” and they felt the need to change this???
WHYY????!!
First we already have to worry about random mobs wandering into our symbol of swiftness and putting us in combat, now this?

- Knockback from Sanctuary, Line of Warding, Shield of Absorption and Ring of Warding now puts you into combat ( although it still doesn’t agro NPCs )
Looks like staff users lost one of our few escape mechanisms.
Amazing!

Yes, I think it was way too OP for guardians to slowly plod away from a fight, but you know, flying across the screen or arbitrarily vanishing in stealth is perfectly fine.
Can’t wait til Necros going into death shroud puts them in combat. Oh, I should keep my mouth shut.
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
So what? Runes of centuar/speed/travelers mandatory now?
I don’t know how people go about their guardian lives w/o travler runes, the normal run speed is painful.
re-confirming, once again, they have no idea how to balance this game and have no understanding of the class.
this changes… whats next ? remove the knobkac becouse people dont want to run stability and cry about being knocked back by guardians?

Can we at least have videos of dev’s playing guardians and shows us how the class is played?

Get a full cleric set, invest in traits that sustain allies such as writ of the merciful, battle presence, purity of body etc. Use support type weapons such as shield, mace and staff.
I’m not trying to be sarcastic, I’m dead serious. As the devs said Guardian is a support class. The faster everyone understands this the less frustrated they will become and realize that Guardian may not be for them. The class is suppose to be Monk 2.0.
To be honest, the idea of a class that revolves around supporting allies in a game were everyone is suppose to be self supporting feels a bit out of place.

i would even use SoA (once in a while i use it but its useless, imo skill just for the fun), if weapon didnt died with 1x / 2x ranged atacks or one aoe damage.
(a spirit shield tp protect range skills that actually dies with range atacks 1 or 2 seconds after cast, the irony).

I think this is the reason for such frustration Aza. This is actually a very good quote.
