Guild Wars 2

For a couple of days now, I have been looking at the different classes in search of role that are unique to that class (which means damage is out since any class can do that).

I started out with a fisherman engg with the sole purpose of pulling 1 target via magnet and keeping him close with a multitude of net skills. What annoyed me the most wast pulling targets off walls and they manage to somehow get back inside their keep. All of a sudden, this guardian comes along and uses Line of Warding to block the portal to safety. I was blown away and though “Can you build on this?”

And so a Warder is born. How would you guys improve on this?

And then someone goes “lol stability,” and walks through all your precious wards as if they don’t even exist.

Too easily countered by stability, not worth it

You say it like stability is available at all times.

For some classes, it is. Also, thieves and mesmers can just teleport past your wards.

Yes, line/circle of warding is far too unreliable for warding, but is better for annoyance. The true ward skill is the sanctuary, which only stability will bypass.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you have your consecrations traited. So you get 12 seconds of sanctuary every 96 seconds. That’s not very impressive.

And let’s not forget, sanctuary won’t even register if you don’t move after casting it.

I read the wiki, I know the weaknesses. I’ve also pulled enough people to know how they react. It amazes me how people don’t actually use the counters to things like this.
