Hi

I dont usually post on the forums but since the next patch is a major overhaul of traits for all classes im wondering if Anet will fix our only real ranged weapon in the game: the scepter.

Personally I think the scepter and staff seem like the ranged options that are available for guadian but staff feels like its too much melee for my taste.

It would be nice if the staff was our go-to weapon for ranged AOE. Im not gonna post a whole lot of suggestions on this one but something which would be an improvement is if the skill which adds might stacks(dont remember whakittens called, I believe its #4 on staff), could be cast on the move.

As for scepter: my biggest gripe with the weapon are the #1 & 2 skills. The orb could perhaps travel faster or something along those lines to just plain make it better.

Skill #2 is only ever useful against a target which is completely imobile and it could use some lovin. I had a few ideas where one is to just plain making the are of effect bigger so it wouldnt be so easy to dodge and/or add a few seconds of cripple on it so it could get a few hits off.

Those are my 2 cents and I hope you guys at Anet take a look at making guardian ranged options better.

Ps: im looking forward to the new patch and I cant wait to see what you guys have been cooking up for the rest of us. I think the game is awesome in many, many areas but give us guardians who want to do ranged combat some much needed attention!

That we dont know.

Anet was pretty clear with thakittens going to be fixed since its bugged, the orb moves slower than planned, but they were also equally clear that they couldn’t promise us when.

I keep hearing this, but every time a source is asked for, the “proof” amounts to “because they have not denied it so it must be true!”

As the one and only real ranged weapon, scepter should hit as fast as warrior’s arrow.

The staff skills should be redesigned. If it is a ranged weapon, pls. make the skill 1 range longer and not miss too much. And the orb of skill 2 results in a rather haphazardly curved path. I accept this weapon is very supportive in group, but skills 1 and 2 are really not good enough.

Warrior’s arrow is trash though.

That said, there were scepter buffs in the leaked patch notes. It’s all secondhand but I heard from someone who knows someone who knows someone at Anet and that guy said they’re real, albeit from a slightly outdated revision.

There is proof, you’ll just have to wait until the day unfortunately!

I havent seen any official respons and as long as i havent, i consider Jon Peters respons to the scepter as Anet official position in the scepter situation..
