Guild Wars 2

Let me introduce to you the F4 key , which swaps Dragon hunter virtues to the standard Virtues. This would create a excellent balance in use and need for virtues.
It should address many concerns without any drastic changes in skills.
What do you all think?

I like your idea

I would love that. Regular virtues in close combat and new virtues in long range with bow.

I like your idea

Naked power grabs usually are well received by the people who stand to benefit.

Guard and Dragonhunter would both have to be sucking pretty bad in the metrics to warrant such a MASSIVE gain in flexibility and power. I don’t think the Dragonhunter is nearly so lowly as to need or receive something like this.

f4: virtue of ______

virtue: grants 25% movement speed, when active virtues are in play
activate: changes virtues from active to passive or passive to active,

I actually think this is a great idea. It makes it so that if you are cc’d, or forced into invulnerability, you can press f4 (which will be insta cast) to switch your virtues to standard guardian, so you can use a “weaker” version of the virtue, while cc’d or invuln. Please implement this, even if it cant be done before HoT!

It’s the solution we’ve been all looking for.

P.S. Guardians need some sort of movement speed trait/skill, whatever

Really they just need to make the F3 instant & the F2 apply a 1 second evade as a dragonhunter.

After that the virtues problems are solved.

f4: virtue of ______

Honestly? I’d be happy with:

New base guardian Virtue:

Virtue of Expedience

Passive: Passively gain 3 seconds of Swiftness every 3 seconds.

Active: Grant Super Speed to yourself and nearby allies for 5 seconds and remove Movement Impairing Effects, 30s Recharge.

Dragonhunter version:

Standard of Expedience:
Passive: Passively Gain 3 seconds of Swiftness every 3 seconds.
Active: Manifest a spiritual banner that allows nearby allies to press F to fall into formation. After activating a second time, rapidly move yourself and any allies in the formation to the ground targeted location up to 2,000 units away, moving at Super Speed. While “Marching in Formation” all allies and yourself are immune to movement impairing conditions and control effects. (aka this could be used in WVW to charge through Wards)

This would give base line guardians some nice mobility, while also providing a very unique group movement support ability that, similar to Portal, is a “opt in” forced movement. An ability like this would be use in raiding as well to rapidly reposition allies to objectives.

by active I meant dragon hunter virtues and passive I meant vanilla virtues.

It might be possible if enough share their opinion .

Please reply and let’s get our voices heard.

Thanks all and GL when HoT comes online

Best f4 for guardians (DH) is alt f4

Dragon Hunter F4:
Passive:
Gives 25% movement speed.
Active:
Makes your character say “About time!”
0 sec cooldown.
(Perhaps spams guardian official forums also)

This; 100%. My only real issue with dragon hunter virtues is that some have cast times and thus if I want to say for example stomp someone out and activate an aegis in the middle of it I am unable to do this.

Well of course you’d be happy with that. It’s better in absolutely every way than the one you’re responding to.

this is an amazing idea

This is a horrible idea.
