No Spirit Weapon changes in next Update?
First: because they don’t care.
Second: because they don’t care.
I mean, that has to be the case considering that spirit weapons have been broken for like over two years now.
I use a support/healing guardian, and even I’d like to be able to use Bow of Truth knowing it doesn’t suck.
Making a spirit weapon build would also be nice knowing that I wasn’t gimping myself. They’re a good concept, it’s just that they’re executed horribly (and they aren’t the only utilities executed badly).
spvp spirits are pretty fun, 6k hammer hits
They haven’t released all the details on the balance patch for current skills/traits. It’s possible there’s something coming for spirit weapons
spirit weapons were op in beta, I think each weapon had the same dps as a player’s auto attack. so Anet nerfed them into the ground and I don’t think they will be useful any time soon other than in 1v1s in sPvP. A way that Anet could make the spirit weapons useful would to make them work like the necromancer’s minions(100% up time until they are killed). Anet would also need to increase there total HP, so the weapons don’t die in PvE as quickly as they do now.
id like to see them have a chance to proc while hitting rather than be like pets that expire, isnt this a good idea?
not only its going to be effective it will be cool also
action combat made mmos better lol

Passive play should not be rewarded. I would be fine with spirit weapons actually being removed from the game, rather than being “fixed”, along with the removal of spirits and minions.
Guardians need better balancing on their dps and non existent condition build so that they can leave the bunker pigeonholed role they have in PVP. What they don’t need is to become another petting zoo class.
- “No tears, please. It’s a waste of good suffering.”
I think when it really comes down to it, when they say “Guardian is in a good place”, that’s pretty much them confirming that they don’t care about us. Like Nikaido, I’d rather them just remove spirit weapons at this point, it’s too painful to look at what could have been.
They say Rangers are like the beaten, redheaded stepchild. I’d say we’re the poor neglected child who just wants to know what it’s like to be loved.
Who knows? Internal metrics and testing might make them look better than they are. Maybe Guardians do a couple of other things so well they don’t want to rock the boat? Whatever it is, it’s not good enough.
Im still waiting to see a GM playing with guardian decently…. and not rolling against walls.
1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.
