SPVP Trap DH
You’re, like, 4 months late broheim.
Didn’t that complaint stop before season 1?
OP came out as a terrible at pvp.
Someone get him a flag.
Seeing 8 with the same presumably the same build is nothing. I just started a DH coming from maiming a necro. Even knowing every bit about necro, I still get owned. Conditions beat the trap guardian, and theifs can, faught some awesome elements lists that won a few, and rangers, oh and those scrappers they are a struggle.
I may be a new to DH guardian, but don’t say a class needs a nerf just cussed you can’t find a way to beat it. Maybe it’s you, and/or your build. Maybe you just aren’t good with the class you are playing. Hell, I’m not great with DH but I don’t lose all the time.
Seems like very class or elite spec needs a nerf somehow, or one needs a buff, – we want this, we want that, – oh yeah we got the buff… Well kitten wah this is over powered now, no fun. Watch YouTube videos and see how people that don’t die, or really just die less, play the class and:or build, then go from there.
why are people trying to play down the sheer ridiculously OP nature of DH traps?
i was having stress instantly exploding last week so today i decided to make my own DH trapper, ITS HILARIOUS! things just explode.
infact that is what i’ve named my DH, “Things Just Explode” and true to their name, thats what things have been doing every game i’ve played them.
i’m running them full zerker with a puny 11k hp, but it doesn’t matter because nothing gets near you…
TL;DR yes DH traps are in need of a nerf, the ability to leave them anywhere to oneshot someone from across the map is not healthy…
Dh traps are only good vs idiots.
If you dodge ASAP when you see the trap trigger (or daze happens) you can avoid the damage and other effects of the trap entirely.
This is why DH is rarely seen at high end PvP and not taken at all in the ESL.
“A DH I know from fighting previously is full traps is sitting by himself on a node, by god I MUST rush in immediately and get 100-0’d or else we’ll lose the match instantly. And then I’ll go complain on the forums that landmines are OP, I should be able to knowingly walk into them and walk out unscathed”
DH is OP if you dont use dodge rolls or any defensive skills yea… Welcome to GW2 pvp where these things are very important. Once you have played more than a week you will realise DH has ways to counter it. Now dont get me wrong! Its not a bad class at all atm, its very possible that you outplayed the traps and still lose. but its not an OP class so stop calling it that. If you litterally have 8 DH’s in your game, then i can guarantee you, the team with the scrapper/rev/druid will win over the DH’s on the other side.
If you’re having difficulty, have a guildie train you. After a few fights, or even just set-up scenarios of you walking into traps you’ll learn which panic buttons to use when caught off-guard and how to appropriately punish the DH after surviving traps.
If you’re complaining about the damage you receive after managing to fall into traps with no utilities left, then you have no excuse; traps deserve to deal that sort of damage to someone who is unprepared to deal with them. There are much worse skills to have to deal with against other classes if you’re out of sustain. At least with traps, a dodge with some fast reflexes can get you out if all else is on cd.
The guardian seems a good class and good spot. It beats bad palyers very easy. It has problems agaisnt some builds when using LB (especially ele with reflects). I personaly won´t use dragons maw. Its realy good to have test of faith and the healing trap is quite good but i think dragond maw is not needed.
no, a guardian is not in a good spot, core guardian has some of the most useless weapons and traits in the game (not named Warrior) and people have been using the same iteration of meditations since the game’s launch over 3 years ago while consecrations, signets and spirit weapons are obsolete.
I hope the phrase "seeing how we play " in the original post doesn’t mean the OP is a main Guardian player.
Don’t need one of our own perpetuating idiotic fallacies.
