Hello all, before the comments start flying at me, I am indeed one of “those people”. I’d love nothing more than a ranged weapon for my Guardian. Granted, the guardian already has the staff, but the staff skills are almost purely supportive.
That being said I don’t mind that it’s not the equal of a warrior’s rifle (which I think to be extremely OP) but in WvWvW I find that all I can do is pluck away with my 600 range staff and not do any damage while using my relatively useless staff heal, or just stand there repeating /cheer to inspire the troops. I use my buffs and supportive abilities, which are useful, but I still find myself to be nothing more than a bag of meat in most fights.
Also, in my opinion, if they give the warrior a rifle that can do the ridiculous amounts of damage it does, and NOT give make the Guardian a better melee fighter than the warrior, we have a serious problem in the game. That is all, please formulate your responses like the civilized folk I know you all to be.
