Guild Wars 2

When are dragonhunters going to be balanced?

Its been like three weeks of them just running around facerolling one shotting people.

I know theres going to be DHs like crazy coming to try and counter argue but please Anet can we jsut fix this,

Oh look this thread again. Good thing you came and posted it! You’re just the person that the devs were waiting to hear from. The other threads were just QQ, but you! You are the star that they have been waiting for. Take a bow, you have earned it.

Use of hyperbole, no well thought out ideas for balance and no actual proof of one shotting people. Cool thread.

Pls anet pls, pls fix my hurting angus. IT HURTS SO BAD PLS ANET.

There is no point in nerfing or buffing us, people learned how to actualy dodge our traps, well, at least those that made the effort into learning how to dodge…

Correct there should never be a nerf to a trap.

Hey OP if you fell into a tiger pit in real life your mind would be thinking as it flickered to darkness that man I shouldn’t have stepped into this.

Dodge rolling, three years in , and still the most important key stroke in the game.

Enjoy that low mmr.

Probably tomorrow, then pvp community can whine about next “op” class that takes DHs place in low ranked and my class gets rid of those bandwagoners :O

It’s been like three weeks of them just going into traps and dying from same.

I know there’s going to be scrubs like crazy coming and try to counter argue but please anet just fix this.

Really guys, just dodge it? Every time there is a DH QQ thread, there is a horde of “L2P L2Dodge noob” comments.

Thus far, we’ve been instructed to dodge (1) true shot (4s CD), (2) hunter’s ward (45s CD), (3) dragon’s maw (60s traited), (4) ToF (24s traited), (5) and Spear of Justice/Hunter’s Verdict (~20 s).

If I wanted to dodge all of these, I would need 7.6 dodges in a 20 second period. Instead, I have 2 dodges in this time period (or 4 if I’m starting fresh). That means at best I can dodge 4/5 of your true shots (hooray), but facetank hunter’s ward, dragon’s maw, ToF, and Spear of Justice (did I mention heavy light?). There is a reason everyone and their grandma is rolling a DH.

TLDR; You can cool your jets with the L2Dodge rhetoric.

I haven’t had too much trouble with DH while playing my scrapper. It’s probably because I actually know everything a DH can do, so I can do counter play. Plus putting condi and reflecting all their true shots is funny.

l2dodge traps?
Use blocks, evades, blinds, stuns…etc for other stuff. What do you want exactly? DH need to stay at one place so you can burst it down?
I don’t get you guys. Maybe you need to go back to pve because competitive pvp is not for you, not everyone can be good at pvp.

You are playing freaking necro/reaper you dont need to even dodge because you have 80k hp effective. You don’t even know that condi reaper eats DH for breakfast. Do you even necro/reaper bro?

Ragnarox, every single post of yours are condescending ad hominem insults. Stay on topic, buddy. This isn’t about me.

Personally I would suggest: reflect the true shot, walk (slowly) out of the hunter’s ward, dodge the Dragon Maw, eat the Test of Faith initial damage, and stability the Spear of Justice.

Or, use your class’ unique mechanics of charge/stealth/pets to neutralize the traps and put so much pressure on the DH that they can’t stay on their bow, alleviating the true shot damage and hunters ward (although HW was never really a threat).

Why are you wasting a dodge roll on Hunters ward?

Why are you wasting a dodge roll on Hunters ward?

Despite the long cast time, it’s surprisingly easy to get caught in a Hunter’s ward between all the traps, wells, overloads, and other animation spam that happens in a team fight. If you notice the skill halfway through the cast, there isn’t enough time to run out (180-210 units/s vs 360 radius), so you have to dodge or be trapped.

Which is probably why all of the Dragonhunter traps had their visual noise turned down.

Oh look another baddie solo q’er crying about DH. You’re in the wrong subforum, goto the PvP section with your baddie friends and cry together. When DH can dominate tournaments then maybe we’ll take your QQ posts seriously but that will never happen because any player with half a brain won’t get 1 shot by a DH or their traps.
