after looking at the ready up of both reaper and the dh i must say dh is horrible traps is a bad bad bad idea if you compere it to reaper; reaper actully look like necro evolve in ower case it seems just like alame copey of unsecusfull skills of ranger…
what do you guys think about dragon hunter over all and compere to the spec that known so far

You do realize the DH fixes over 90% of the flaws the current guard as in sPVP and WvW?
You do realize Medibow will kitten over every single ranger, mesmer and staff ele out there?

Traps are fine IMO:
- They will work wonders in WvW where they were initially designed for
- They also be effective at scaring squishies off points in sPVP, no one wants to sit with in a 10 sec reveal and 25 vuln debuff

You are NOT required, or even supposed to carry 3 traps with you.

As far as PVE is concerned, the guard is top 2 right now after the proposed trait and skill changes. In fact the baseline trait changes are all pretty much aimed at PVE for the most part. If anything im glad guards are not NERFED in PVE like eles were. PVE has never been where guards lacked, and Anet did amazing by making DH sPVP/WvW specific in order to address the guard flaws.

Every single complaint in these boards is aimed at our lack of PVE buffs compared to mesmer and necro. Yet people forget that both mesmer and necro are currently trash tier in PVE and its where they got the most buffs.

Chronomancer sounds amazing on paper but in sPVP and its chaotic nature don’t expect it to lay 2x moas and what not while people stand still and let them do it.
Reaper is a PVE death machine but slow as kitten, kitable and downright weak in PVP. It will get ganked and zerged down in any serious sPVP scenariors, so don’t expect things to change much

You speak as if you’ve seen the future. Mind giving me the winning lottery number?

Chronomancer will just kill your attacks with 100% slow uptime (you will hit every attack like hammer 3rd chain and you will enjoy that I suppose)
Reaper will slow you down with autoattack chill – your cd’s will scream Help ! Help! And you will enjoy it while making new character of other class.

Everyone in this forum needs to just stop being shocked and awed by fancy effects and actually look at what the skills do. If you are impressed by just looking like a knock off dervish then by all means go play necro but so far what guardians got is what we needed and that is all that should matter. This is not a ****-measuring contest.

I’m not shocked by effects. I’m rolling on hard facts. Can you make me 13 builds with the Dragonhunter that aren’t just rehashes of the same build? Because I definitely can’t. But I can give you 13 interesting Reaper Builds right now that work entirely differently and that’s without the Blood magic line being done.
