Guild Wars 2

Hy Anet! When I saw the Dragonhunter topic first i was like “hmm … meehhh”, just because the name is overused/cliche at its maximum.

Then I saw the actuall Video from you on Youtube and I was underwhelmed.
Then I thought “hmm, maybe Iam wrong and the Community know better”, so I looked it up.
Then I saw that the Community hates the Dragonhunter.
Then I started to think “Anet, thats garbage, change that please”.

-Longbow on a Guardian is already lame and has like zero relation to this class
-Traps are even worse
-no 25% Movement speed trait/sigill
-Traitline is underwhelming
-Skills are so static, it feels like you will transform guardians to actuall guards. the ones made out of stone…
-last but (still) least, the ghostweapons are literally useless… new exp, new chance!

-> Guardians want to be mobile and it would be better if you would give them a axe or a shortbow… and some other things, but this is just bad. I dont want to say much more about it, my overall topic should just be, that Anet notices, that they have done an awful job here…

I do not think we need a new thread for this but I still feel the need to point out that others have made similar points as you but with a lot less of the subjectiv tonality of yours.

Infact with the announced rework many feel that LB might become a good additon – some more tweaks are definitely needed some traits are questionable in mechanic and placement but numerous great ideas have been tossed around to tackle those.

The “Ghostweapons” are a whole different thing. Yes they are underwhelming in any game mode but open world PvE where basically anything goes.

All in all the DH as a result at the moment does not qualify for an “awful job”. The road to it could have definitely be better planned as it feels liek they had a rough idea of what it should be but got sidetracked a lot.

It’ll be officially awful if the spec is only used because we are forced to use it in certain raids for some arbitrary reason.

So far it seems like crap. I feel like warriors burn bow was meant for us, but was already given to them.

when you say seems does this mean you havent actually played it?

I’ve played it. And so far it seems like crap. But that COULD change after I play it next beta. But so far it seems like crap with the builds I attempted. This was mostly pvp mind you.

Well there is no denying that. It has no place in pvp at the moment. I feel that it is too fast paced and does not offer crucial abilities like stun breaks, cleanse which all come out weaker if you stroll away from the traitlines that provide it.

Yes. DH needs to be completely scrapped and redone. Its laughable and has no relation to the class. Its traitline has no relation to the class or has no synergy with other guard specs. Traps once again fall into the typical stationary non dynamic guard play. I could go on.

my problem with dh is more that there is hardly any synergy with other traits or builds – valor synergizes well with honor for support/healer builds, radiance fits well with zeal for damage/burn builds, virtures fit well with everything – but dragonhunter doenst fit well anywhere except for pure dh builds…

i dont see anyone ever using dh stuff without building the build/character as a pure dragonhunter… i think thats a real shame cause it really limits the elite – especially as long as there is only one elite…

there are other elites that synergies quite well for all kinds of build – the scrapper is a good example where i see synergies with ft, with condi builds, with pure scrapper builds etc…. i think thats the better way to go honestly.

I mean i really tried coming up with incorporating dh into another build but its just always inferior to other stuff i could take as long as i dont put the dh into the center of my build.

I like the specialization of the guardian, just adjust the numbers and fix bugs and its going to be great

also note that its probably the vocal minority that complain, you can find similar threads in any class subforum

hmm but with most elites, people complain about certain aspects of the elite such as the engis gyros – with dh i think its really a lot of people that dont like the elite as a whole – or maybe thats my subjective impression…. i can just say for myself, i also play guardian and i dont see myself ever using dh over my current builds.
