Guild Wars 2

Why play a support Guardian when you can play a banner warrior that has better mobility with better cooldowns and better ranged options? Not a troll just really want to learn to play.

You probably aren’t aware of the Altruistic healing builds. I can self heal by booning the group, heal on my dodge (with 1:1 benefit to healing power), and basically be support by killing stuff and using my virtues.

I love my warrior, but hate banners. Why the hell would I want to plant myself around a flag? I like being mobile, and don’t want to have to constantly pick something up and replant it every time I want to fight.

Can a banner warrior give 50 seconds straight of range reflect/absorb like a guardian (Wall of Reflect x 2 + Shield of the Avenger). With two guardians, you’ll reach near range immunity.

As long as we have our reflect/absorb fields, we’ll always be the most sought profession.

Also because banner warrior cannot give group protection, guardian’s shout can give a lot of different boon and remove condition at the same time if use the rune. Warrior can either removal condition (rune) + direct heal with shout or hp reg and swiftness + stat buff, but cannot do both. Btw, protection + hp reg boon > the silly direct heal.

Thanks for your input.

Yes become a banner Warrior where you have shorter cooldowns, swiftness(not), charge(not) and have the inability to do crap other then stand their and spam your 1 buff.

Banner warriors suck compared to a support Guardian plus Banners cant even be kept up. They simply dont last with their long cooldowns and not very long durations.

Warriors do have some great support ability but thats most in their unique support effects like reviving boosts.
