Guild Wars 2

Is this like the 3rd or 4th time there’s a wave of ‘nerf dh’ threads in the pvp forum since the class’s release? I can’t remember since it’s happened so often now, i might have lost track. Usually it goes on for a month or two, goes silent, and then comes roaring back for another month or so.

Pretty irritating actually. Last season i had to shelve my guard since it was undertuned, and now this season playing guard has been fun and rewarding again. Would hate to have a repeat of S3.

I personally don’t care as long as all necessary nerfs stay pvp-only. I hope Anet has learned to separate PvP and PvE balance.

People are just salty that mama tempest is not here to hard counter DH anymore and that DH got a slight buff. this caused DH to be underepresented in the game. They didn’t realize that DH’s dps wise could actuallydo something. But since they know don’t die instantly from every team focus. And have no Mama Tempest to hold them in her projectile hating bossom anymore.

DH are OP now even tough they kept getting shaves here and there.

The irony is they barely touched DH itself; which most ppl whine about – traps. If they nerf traps I’ll live; but don’t screw around elsewhere and ruin class again. Remember when it was Ele everybody whined to nerf… yeah…

I personally just don’t want to be forced back to only having one viable build again.

This rly. DH is finally in a good spot and no longer has to spam 1 for an entire fight.

Sigh, I hope Guard wont face the same fate as ele and necro. Fun/crucial skill/build got shaved to oblivion.

Agreed, and even as a Thief main, skillful play gets you past the traps and almost guarantees victory. I’ve just gotten into DH and it’s really fun wrecking noobs. While I’d still like to see minor nerfs to some traps, overall I’d say DH is in a perfect spot this season.

Scrappers hard counter DH

Maybe you just don’t see many engies

Actually there are several factors;
1- People relly to much on the class than their personal skills, then complain, w/o realizing what is truly wrong.

2- Gw2 PvP model is weak, classes lack interesting stats for build diversity, it is all based on damage spam, with poor man tactics, not much knowledge is needed since gimmick are to strong compared with non gimmick builds/classes.

3 – easy damage makes game more simple and less skill is needed, pve spam classes into pvp.

I see lots of engis. I just don’t see many really good ones after the repeated shaves.

Just asking here because I don’t want to create a new thread, isn’t daze on traps a bit too much ? I suppose it’s designed to be annoying and it works but adding up lot of small things is really frustrating.

Dont go YOLO on DH, unless you are a hammer rev or a warrior.

Teamplay, and theres alot of classes with self stability, much more stability than guardian has…
That is all u need.
