Guild Wars 2

What I cant stand is the fact scrappers, revenants, tempests and druids can stack tons of boons perma on their main build and guardian cant stack a single one without going for shouts build. Is so annoying that guardian was supossed to be the real support/healer class with most of boons and now you see tons of classes with better boons stacking, broken dps and better support than guardian.

Funny the class that deppends most of boon is the worst at using them…

I don’t see a contrast with that. If the concept is team-based boon dispenser, why would that automatically make the class awesome at using boons? I don’t think it does, unless of course you’re just another person that complains about anything they can think of as a way to show the class isn’t performing how you think it should.

Boons doesn’t make the guardian a guardian, the ability to tank and heal itself does.

Tank? only in pve… meanwhile some classes can do that and do way more damage.

That is true, but class besides meditations or traps, doesnt work, but that might be due other classes have to much compared with this one.
Ive been fighthing changing chouts and traps…. ive been sold to the thing i hate more to play in guardian… traps, cause shouts are being just stack buff bots for groups.

You only need more than 400 Toughness to Tank in raids. Guardians can still use Hammer and Symbols to put forth above average damage and generally don’t need to be healed, what with protection and constant self-healing streaming in.

It’s pretty absurd that they don’t have access to some sort of 25% movement speed bonus throughout any of the trait lines. Would go as far to say would see an immediate impact in pvp even. Would love to get insight from a dev why exactly that wasn’t done what is the fear behind it, what kinda of crazy combo potential will there be if they get it??? Because I don’t see any other than bringing them to par when it comes to getting around without travler runes or staff.

Of course the class ’doesn’t work’ if you start excluding the things that are good about it but being selective in an analysis if a class is good or not in PVP really doesn’t make much sense to begin with. It’s pretty unreasonable actually … ONLY having traps and meditations as ‘good’ skills in PVP doesn’t make Guardians a bad PVP class.
