Guild Wars 2

Good job dev team!

/s

useless salty thread is useless and salty. Feel my Wrath probably needs a nerf but be constructive if you are suggesting it otherwise, the forums don’t need any more passive aggressive sewage.

go play pvp with your necro, stop making useless threads in guardian subforum.

May I ask what is broken?
Sorry, but ONE Mesmer with Time Warp can do the SAME thing to a whole party, that’s ONLY 1 party member and 1 elite skill slot. The rest of the party could be anything, with even higher DPS than Hammer Guardians, probably including a Warrior for Fury, Might and Banners.

You’re wasting 5 Elite skill slots JUST to apply Quickness and Fury, on top of which you are not even maintaining 25 stacks of Might.

There are more efficient parties that could kill those in less time(having those bosses killed before traited Time Warp even expires).

Id much rather pvp with my thief

I don’t see the problem here .. this is actually more indicative of the way the game is designed than anything to do with a specific class or skills. We already know the best approach to PVE is to kill before being killed. These individuals specialize in optimizing their gameplay to do that. If the video had a bunch of scrubs with the same builds, they would probably not do as well.

The video is showcasing the fact that Symbolic Avenger is currently bugged to stack with itself. Every symbol laid down adds another 10% to your damage, instead of just a flat +10% when the target is in a symbol.

I’m honestly much more baffled at their inability to catch the grenades bug before the patch went live. One grenade throw into the golem cluster in HotM shows you exactly how they are broken.

Pretty much this. I don’t see a problem with anything else in the video other than this being bugged as hell. Everything else seems like any other class could accomplish a similar feat (if not better) with might stacking, persistent fury, and raw damage.

I’ll quote myself from the bug forum, where someone linked Gokus video.

That Symbolic Avenger is bugged is something we know for some days already, what happened there is the end of some testing.
While talking on TS about this bug, the thought came up, if there is a cap for it. So I gathered up all the SC Member who were online on that golem.
We started with two symbols mace+staff/gs and then swapped to hammer. Together with quickness we got 50k+ auto attacks on hammer.
So yeah, the result was, there is no cap for this, the more guards and symbol, the higher the dmg.
It gets a bit the feeling of the old “Ursanway” from GW1. Just spam #1 or let the auto attack run by itself and you melt down everything.
Something I want to mention as well. This trait by itself is fine, as long as there is only 1 guard. But at the point you start stacking them, it gets insane.
