Guild Wars 2

Of the professions that have a shout skill, “Guard” is the only shout with an activation time (a long one), and to make it even more awkward add in targeting. Then add that it can’t be used underwater (well ok any shout underwater is weird…. but still).
It would be nice if they would remove the activation time at least and better if they also allowed underwater use, same as all other shouts in the game.

sigh…

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! it takes a long time to say things.

…yeah … it takes a longer time to say stuff like “For Great Justice”, or “Stand your Ground” b/c those phrases have something we proper typists call Syllables. …Yet they’re instant cast in this game? …meanwhile Guard doesn’t actually have those, at least not the plural form. …Hmm

Y’know it’s a lot easier to just say Anet wants Rangers to suffer needlessly :p

I think that the reason Guard can’t be used underwater is because of the ground targeting: most ground targeted skills are disabled underwater. No idea about the long activation time though.
