Guild Wars 2

Being able to deal damage directly from using a healing skill is simply unfair. It’s one thing if you have an AoE attack going, since that was pre-casted, but healing and being able to deal damage directly from it, even while you yourself are capable of blocking all attacks, is just bad for the game.

I think that, if anything, a 90 second icd should be added to the trait at minimum, that way at least the guard can’t just dish out damage everytime he heals himself. This would be a fair change that I’m confident should be implemented. As it stands, this trait grants a woeful imbalance between the healing and damage potential of the guardian class, which is something that needs to change.

Really? An ele coming to the guardian forums to complain that something is OP?

Your an ele, just use lighting aura to counter it and interrupt the heal…

90s ICD?

If you’re serious: I can’t take this post seriously coming from an Ele.

I always find these posts amusing, where someone who is another class comes to the sub-forum of the class that beat them.

You don’t need the skill to be changed, you need to stop being salty and get better at the game.
Learning to counter and play around the other classes is what makes it fun.

Meta Ele counters Medi Guard pretty easy, if Smiter’s Boon is your complaint then really, you have issues that aren’t gonna be solved with tissues. Is the Medi Guardian low health? He’s probably going to heal then, don’t be in melee range.

Practice more and you’ll wipe the floor with just a basic rotation and better sustain.

To be honest, I’ve been playing Mesmer mostly recently, and I completely forgot that this trait was a thing. That’s how insignificant it really is in the grand scheme of things.

Besides, a Medi Guard already has Smite Condition on a 16s cooldown, so I have no idea why you’re complaining about the one that procs on heal.

this post is so funny
did you post on the warrior forum saying “dealing damage on dodging is op becaues they can’t be harmed and still cause damage!!!”
the dmg isn’t even that big of a deal on Smiter’s Boon
this is just ridicolous

Surprised no one linked this yet:

Damage on a heal is wrong you say?

i didn’t feel like i had too, since his whole post is just silly
sorry i don’t want to insult you in any way Soilder but there are so many traits and balance issues that need to be addressed, a trait that buffs a heal skill a little bit by doing dmg in a small radius, which is only even worth it if you have a condi on you is not op at all, if it was a minor trait you maybe could argue that it needs a slight damage nerf, but it isn’t
it’s not hard to counter or predict, all i can say, and sorry if this sounds rude it’s not intended but, l2p your class better/l2p against other classes better

Don’t forget the 25 energy cost

For spvp only

Sure well take that CD on smiters boon. But only if the CD for every on heal rune effect gets changed from 10 seconds to 90 as well.

Just a troll or a whining baby who is too lazy/incompetent to learn after failure. Just ignore it and lets move on to address other issues that aint so unbecoming.

Wise word spoken here
hey ele, you can delete your post now

Ding. I thought this update added smiters boon for the first time, so I saw my chance for the gw1 reference. I didn’t realize it had already been in prior existence as a tome spell, however.

Funny that everyone assumed I mained ele. Yea its on my tag, but I main ranger actually.

hah, you weren’t joking in the least. & no one said you mained ele. They said you played it.

I logged in just to type this:
Hahahahahaah

Stop bumping this. It was a joke post. I was referencing the old GW1 Smiter’s Boon . As I said before, I thought this upate added Smiter’s Boon into the game for the first time and didn’t know it had existed previously. I wanted to be the first to start a Nerf thread for it for the sake of the old smiters boon.

I said in my original post that the trait granted a woeful imbalance between the damage and healing potential of the Guardian class. That is exactly what it did for Smiting Prayers monks back in GW1, allowing them to heal for nearly the same capacity as dedicated healing prayer monks while still being able to dish out significant damage. I also referenced the 90 second cool down the skill was given in PvP, which is what essentially made it unusable along with a duration decrease.

Must have been the burns.

He’s not joking.
Clearly what guardian needed was 1 more instant skill that is a Meditation.

If it was at the end of the heal I’d say alright but still it would be super-powerful because it heals and gives fury too on top of skill effects.

That moment when you are trolling and someone takes you seriously…

OP has all the right to complain about other classes since he mains ranger, settle down fellas.
