Guild Wars 2

Hello!

With the addition to Dragonhunter, a lot of people have been claiming OP and stating that Dragonhunter is absurdly strong. Attached to this thread is a video that will help people learn how to fight with and manage their encounters with a Dragonhunter.

All credit goes to Arken
-I posted this video for him due to forum issues that he is currently experiencing.

Please post this in the pvp forum so that those plebs know xD. I feel like a cele D/D. There is so much hate. What is this?

It’s a general rule of thumb that threads like this only prove there is a problem, and there most certainly is.

Other than people face tanking traps, can you elaborate on the issues more?

This video is to articulate how to deal with the DH’s burst. I’m not going to give an opinion of whether it’s op or not, i’ll leave it up to you guys.

Just pointing out the obvious. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Normal balanced stuff usually doesn’t need videos explaining how it’s not OPd. ;-)

And it’s not just the traps, it’s the whole package combined.

Normal stuff needs videos if it is a traps. And noobs have a lot of trouble with traps. (look back to trap ranger early in the game). They aren’t predicting trap placement and have their fingers on the stunbreak, invuln, or simply dodge through it. Let the meta settle before you all scream nerf. P.S meditation guard is finally back and I’m so happy. No more bunk. I can use my beloved hammer again

This isn’t really a question of whether it’s overpowered or not. It’s a video explaining the mechanics of Traps in conjunction with Heavy Light. We do this on the forums everyday, but now we see it in visual form.

I’ll agree, I think Heavy Light should be attached to probably Deflecting Shot. It’s just a better option from both the attacker and defender’s PoV.

There’s actually a thread in the pvp forum complaining about deflecting shot being unblockable and a knockback.

more than dev nerfing DH, i would really love to see how chronomancers and reapers get nerfed. chronomancers has been op before patch, and even more so after patch, reaper dps is just insane…

Another thing I forgot to mention, the tether on f1 is the exact same as the tether from GS5 so if you dodge just as they’re about to pull you, you won’t get pulled in the full distance. It’s another way to avoid burst.

Arkens my name >.> although, my account doesnt show it because I was going by malpractice in WoW….
I have like 7 versions of Arken/Arkengate :P

Like the guide, though

But you can plan around it. You don’t have to fear which arrow is going to carry that knockback. Just like the traps, once you see Deflecting Shot, you can react to it. If you get hit by it before you can react, it’s either good play on the attacker or its the risk you take by being in that position.

Very good video, thanks for taking the time of making it, hope it helps people who try to face trapper DH as a classic Guardian understand how to counter them properly

You’re very welcome. I also added a quick overview of underneath the video that also contains info I missed that’s also very important to fighting a DH.

What do I do if dodge is not bound?

You have to have keybind dodge if you want to have a chance in pvp. Also keybind your abilities. In the time it takes you to click them you will be dead <3

This deserves to be on first page
