Guild Wars 2

I honestly think trueshot should be changed from 20% to 10% reduction in WvW. I am playing it right now and the trap I can understand but trueshot? Guardian literally has one ranged weapon and it hits like a noodle now. You buff Mesmer/Engi classes that are literally impossible to kill 80% of the time. So you take away guardians only ranged damage. I mean 20% doesn’t seem like a lot. When you are fighting someone it’s extremely noticeable. It was hard enough to be viable but true shot was the only thing we had going for up and now people can just eat it like nothing.

dude we got 80lv token, just in time to change class. lets leave guardians to die so they can buff useless shouts again in 2017.

i love this change. /warrior. Next nerf druids and revs more. We got gunflame nerf, happy for that. Tired of all that run speci specs. More verity= nerfin the specializations. And also, if I can kill mesmers and engis on my war with the old builds, I’m sure you can do it on dh aswell. xD

I mean I messaged my guild leader saying I’m done. Like for real I am. Only thing guard had going for them and they took it away. I can’t say anything but why? Buff every other class and we get kittening shout buff…. SHOUT. BUFFS. Those two words look at the very carefully. Hah no. Nope. We can’t get trap nerfs or a 10% longbow trueshot nerf we need shout buffs. Because everyone loves guardian shouts… Oh wait. They don’t The only viable roaming spec is longbow greatsword medi trapper. OH WAIT Greatsword has been around since launch… Everyone knows how to dodge that burst? Lets take away the only damage that people need to not brainlessly avoid. Great Idea.

FUN FACT – Ever think they are making the heavy classes underpowered now because they didn’t see a significant switch to their new heavy armor class?

coman, longbow +traps was op, most guardians run this. This stuff needs to be done, want to see it done on other classes aswell.

It should of been done to the traps, and not the longbow, 10% on Longbow nerf was expected, not a whopping 20%. There are some guards like me who still run full medi over full trapper. LB TS can be reflected/blocked/softened, layered traps can insta down people without a form of invuln or block at their disposal.

If they want to nerf the damage, despite it not being overpowered, they need to also remove the root in place, and reduce the cast time on both this, symbol and ward.

I am trying to not get upset and get angry but i just don’t understand how incredibly unaware the devs are, three years and we are still dealing with half this class being broken and now HoT has put the nail in the coffin, and the devs remain silent….

yes, because the most popular weapon set on the 7th best class needed its only 2 useful skills nerfed RIGHT THE HELL NOW.

7th best class, hmm don´t agree. One skill won´t effect the guardians overall dmg that much. If something popular gets a nerf, it always get the same response.

Except, Guardian wasn’t that popular? Rofl. It’s been kinda mediocre in all areas of the game really. So lets just nerf it, and leave rev and mes alone basically? Ok yeah, brilliant, I hope they hire you on ASAP.

DuoMaxwell, “So lets just nerf it, and leave rev and mes alone basically?”. I hope they get nerfs also. I want to see some players pick old builds, not only herald, dh and chrono etc. But i bet 90% of guardians still will run dh longbow after this patch.

Is simpler than that: why to run guardian after this patch?

lol what?

pro league season 2 has no class stacking rules and guardian has never been used ONCE (outside of 1 time from a team that was scrambling to fill a roster and ended up playing non meta classes for fun not on TS) while 4 classes were locked in meta and the 5th/6th slot being fluid between druid and scrapper.

do the math, what does that make guardians? its either 7th place at best or you think this class is simply so intense that no pro league player even dare attempt at trying to master its complex mechanics.

Hey man, JI>trap bomb is a really hard and technical feat. You have to, like, press buttons. And then you have to, like, hope they actually die.

>Weaken TS by 5%
>Increase CD to about 8s
>Allow strafing/movement while channeling

Doesn’t seem like its so hard to nerf without gutting the skill to prevent spike spam, and the movement would make up for the CD/slight damage reduction.

Twice. But I’m glad they did it, those were the 2 best match-ups I’ve seen all season. I’m rooting for them now.

I mean, whatever comp oRNG used shouldn’t even be taken seriously as AG weekly builds. They literally didn’t even bother getting on TS.

Instant lvl 80 from any class you want, and Anet reduced DH longbow damage in expectation players deppend more of the traps than the range skills.
Unfortunatly the iteration is not equal cross classes.
