Guild Wars 2

Why is it that everytime they nerf skills in WvW and PvP that thoe of us that Play PvE have to suffer. They have nerf the warrior to the point of being useless. Guardians skills are so nerfed that they can hardly do any damage against the Mordy crew. They new specializations are so jokingly bad since the last patch. If you want to nerf the skills in PvP and WvW do it, but quit messing up those of us that Play PvE. The game is fun until you can hardly do damage unless you use a stupid meta build. You are furcing us to play the game you want us to instead of letting us play our builds our way.

Balancing happens for a reason to prevent one or more classes from gaining unfair advantages. They aren’t forcing you to do anything by any means. Learn to play with the changes. Coins are easy to obtain and most exotics are well within the average player’s means now, even if you do have to tweak your set a little.

Your exaggerating. Guards got a buff and warriors are fine. Infact, warriors are pretty much great in all content. Guards as well. Most of the nerfs were “pvp only” changes, which is something I’m hoping Anet will continue seperating.

As for these “meta” builds, they become meta because people have tested them for hours to days and most of the community have agreed that these setups and builds are the most optimal to get a specific kind of content done. But that doesn’t mean its the end all be all setup you have to run or else.

Look at them and only look at them to give you an idea of what you could run with if you have no idea on how you should trait yourself. And besides, even if you do completly copy a meta build and you are unable to perform what its asking you to do then its pointless to even follow it. You just gotta get better at playing your class.

I tell you something:
Warriors are fine, Guardians are not! :-)
You see a lot of Warriors in PVP, in ALL!! raidgroups for banners, might, cc or condi (since i don’t play wvwvw i can’t argue) they are in wvw.
Guardians are not in raids, or just for one or two bosses like Matthias or Sloth. In PVP i don’t know a lot of people playing guard in high ranks.
Guardian is not viable.

That was offtopic.

The point the OP does:
When you nerf some things, don’t do it for the whole content. It not just unfair, it’s pointless ‘cause you use a different style of your play.
There are a few classes that shine in all cases, a few that shine in one or two situations and then there are some classes like engineer & guard which don’t have a place in general.

Well, they’ve started splitting skills between PvE and PvP anyway. Not that guardians have weak DPS in PvE; in fact they might have one of the strongest DPS’s (if not the strongest).
Additionally, there have been skills that have been nerfed for PvE which were ruined in PvP/WvW as a result (frost bow), so don’t act innocent in that regard. :>

@OP why do Pvpers/WvWers have to deal with power creep that is a result of the PvE players?
