Guild Wars 2

Just block them… there are plenty of kittens on pvp.

we gonna get revenant weapons soon il hope and il hope there is a shield with the same theme that fits the revenant set.

glint shield is ugly and does not fit the set :/

ofc it fits! Is crystal shield and surprise.. glint was made into crystal.

Celestial, you can use all the stats. From conditions, to healing to any dps stats. I wear full asc celestial and i’m pretty happy with it.

Hammer 1 is cool, but i must admit, i will prefer you throw YOUR hammer, and not a grey ball.

i run full celestial. Overall is pretty durable and dmg while low, is not THAT low. And yes ofc, i soloed full story.

they share the shame stomach. so crafting more than 1 is useless.

you know.. if you hover over the icon it shows the crafting names, making it less confusing.

please, bring back the white wings.. dying for it.

the precursor you got via mastery CAN be traded.

Siliconmana.3816:

Perhaps not the best planning to release HoT and have Halloween at the same time?

perhaps you should have planned your time spent..

Well our mace block, shields all team mates in the area. The other counters only protect the user. If we could taunt the enemy on us, then yes, more than 1 block will be amazing. As we can, protect whoever is getting hit is cool.

Anyway, i agree counterattack should only happend if theres enemies at range.

+1

Stop doing outfits. Do armor sets. Is the best of both worlds or do 2 versions.

gosh i bought the precursor yesterday for 480gold.

thanks i did it, seems i dodge a bullet.

Chrono.6928:

They did say the black wings would come back after HoT launched sometime.

i hope is also the case of white wings. i’m desesperate for this one

Unlocking your elite spec is a training line in your training panel that costs hero points. You do need to have trained all the existing training lines before you’re allowed to put hero points into your elite spec.

If you’ve got all the hero points in the existing game you’ll have enough to train about half the elite specialization training line on launch day. The rest you’ll need to earn in the jungle or via the new system Tyler outlined yesterday from WvW. The number of points to fully train your elite spec is higher than other training lines – but hero challenges in the jungle are worth 10 points each, so it’s not actually as big as it appears.

Revenant hype just took a complete nose dive… There went half my weekend grinding hero points…

Why? At 80 you have all unlocked, then go to jungle to get 10x points

Base Revenant is slow. Yes, they have the Shiro legend for superspeed, but thats 8sec of superspeed on a 10 sec cool down, but also only if you don’t use any other skills (so no condi cleanse or dashes). The lack of perm swiftness (or any swiftness on that matter) really hurts when you need to travel across maps.

play a guardian then cry me a river

I don’t understand why they don’t let just repick all your stories choices if is what is holding that back.

Do a store item only for lvls 80 and you must completed your personal story. Let choice you a new race and then a menu with the choices you did on the story. I have seen all the stories option chart and tbh it was not that huge…

I runned few 50 fracts with a full celestial guardian with GS and mace/shield. zeal, valor and honor. Yes, without virtues. I intend to do it again with DH valor and honor. You end with like 20k hp, 38% crit, 198 crit dmg, 1k heal power, 1700 toug, 500 condi dmg and 1800 power. Dmg is not impresive but is not lackluster and is pretty durable.

No ranged option till DH really hurts though.

save yourselves will be ideal spot.

white wings! white wings! white wings! white wings! white wings! white wings! white wings! white wings! white wings! white wings! white wings! white wings! white wings!

It is not a mobile skill, it is a point defence skill.
It creates a safe zone and it is up to you to stay in it.

Says who?

Spirit Weapons are not inmobile, there are not consecrations.

OP is right. Shield tracking should be fixed.

The shield should at most be movable on command but not continuously following you, that would be too strong much longer, and better than the Revenant Ventari’s one.
I am not saying it is fine just your proposal in OP goes too far. Huge size projectile immunity for 20 seconds 0.o

I already have a great projectile absorbtion uptime. Shield 5, wall of reflection, shield of avenger, sanctuary. So if i want on a single fight this, i already have it.

Just cap how many hits it can absorb each x seconds or make the shield vulnerable to ranged hits so enemy need to take it down first.

spam f1? Defender’s dogma is for the passive part. I will agree it combo’s with F3 on dragon hunter and aegis. That why it would be perfect as a major and not a minor, so you can choose it for a build that does block a lot!

Minor should be something that ok for all build with that said trait line. Defenders dogma biggest problem is it works against both the passive use and active use. And i need to also say, this feels like such a bad trait because we already got amplified wrath that burns on block and aslong you don´t have zealot’s aggression, this is WEAKER!

For people that want the passive part(burn and cripple) we will most likely already have supreme justice, we have very high chance of wasting the proc.
And for people that went for active use of F1(tether, burst and pull), the minor is useless a lot of the time, since justice is on cooldown.

Either change it to something new or make it better like “When you block, you active justice passive on that enemy and this work when justice is on cooldown”. It does the same thing, for passive your we get more burn and cripple, so we are happy and then active users will still see free burn damage coming out of it. BUT it is still just a clone of amplified wrath, and this is not even a cross class clone, both a clone of a trait from guardian itself!

After read it again, yeah, my bad. It only charges the passive so next attack will burn. I thought that it was recharging the active virtue which will be good. If only effects the passive, indeed Defender’s Dogma sucks.

Defender’s Dogma is NOT useless. Obvious combos is F3 then spam F1 like no tomorrow and for an aegis build is also pretty nice.

Yes, i said forward, not backward.

The idea is to have a skill to go closequarters fast and drop a trap on our enemies’s feet. Also, a jump, similar to GW3 will give us mobility.

Also, you can jump to melee, swap to a melee weapon like mace and shield to help an ally in danger. Guardian is always about making sacrifices to help others.

Also, give that jump the same animation than f2 to trick our enemies we used our heal.

LoL how you dare compare TS with WW or MB? On any aoe situacion WW and MB will always win.

Bow2 is fine, bow1 autoattack is sad, bow5 is slow and misses a lot. And thats the good ones.. so dont get me started with bow4 and 3.

So, any Dev answer soon or next post will come expansion launch day?

White wings please

I hope, 6 pages of feedback and still no comments. Beta ended 2 days ago

1 person guild is not a guild. Don’t try to bend the system to justify this aberration.

Just don’t buy outfits, you are hurting yourself. Outfits need to disappear and make them armor sets so we can choice what pieces we want.

(except Ghotistyx, apparently, but he’s a well known troll)

I’ve noticed a trend in people that cannot comprehend that others have a different opinion than they. It usually involves them resorting to petty insults.

you reap what you sow…

Dragonhunter

F1 range seems less than the max of autoattack, so you need to go close of the target. Make it shoot to all mobs (max 5) infront of you on a 180º arc. Max distance = bow. F2 area need to be large. If you are using F2 to heal is because someone need heal NOW. Press F2, point and aim then click with your mouse is too slow. With normal virtues, i just press F2 and i KNOW i healed the guy in danger. Maybe if no ally selected you can aim but if you have an ally on target it autojumps to him. F3 is good. I like it.

To make bow competitive it need to be able to substitute zeal line. All talents on zeal seems better than bow ones.

Longbow 5 CD seems too long and duration too short and when you shoot on abrupt terrain it just fails and do nothing. So the aoe feels pretty poor. LB1 third attack on the chain should do something extra, maybe 1/2 sec bleed.

Core

I don’t know others, but i signed into Guardian to protect, absorb the blows and heal. We don’t have taunts, but 2 other classes have. We can absord hits (via Aegis, antiarrows domes, etc) so i seem we are good on this spot. We are pretty terrible at healing. Mace and shield should the ultimated closequarters healer spec.
Mace is ok, healing feels a bit low and borring (you are hitting 1 all time and sometimes 2. Most of time, hit 3 seems a waste of time if the enemy is not doing direct attacks). Shield 4 after the changes is cool. Shield 5 don’t. It need to heal everyone on the bubble each second they are on the dome. I don’t know if anyone will like a support guardian with the druid on the game. Almost all weapon skills on druid heal.

Erm… moon and sun aren’t part of nature? And guess what plants need in order to grow

By that same argument we can state that the Charr war machines require fossil fuels to operate, and fossil fuels are made of plant matter. Ergo, Druid is thematically linked to tanks.

You could argue that tanks are part of nature. Due to the unclear definition what actually nature is, where it begins and where it ends. However, sun and moon has always been described as part of nature or the cycle of nature or the natural cycle. For me HoT druids, sylvari and nature are thematically so very very close together. Just look at the background story of sylvari and the awakening cycles.

Plants (in most definitions part of nature) need the moon and/or the sun to grow (moon and sun also being part of nature). It is weird to me to detach nature moon and sun. All we traditionally describe as nature depends on sun and moon in one way or the other.

Tanks could be widely seen as part of nature. But it needs a specific mediator: sentient races. Here is, where everything becomes subject to definition. Is the doing of the sentient race natural? Is the race itself natural? That is a very important point and needs a discussion of its own. But the connection between druid, nature, leaf stuff, moon and sun is so very close. It is a mystery to me, why people have the need to separate those.

Just no. For once, astronomy and botanics is not the same science, so they are not the same by definition (fact).

And plenty of plants (mushrooms) don’t need sunlight to grow.

yes! white wings! now! last sale was just 24h and i missed it by the lack of information.

please bring them back!

WoW that way →

1h sword is actually the second on dps behind on greatsword.. problem is the skills are meh at beast and GS brings a lot more.

Not to blow up your idea.. but Ranger in GW2 (specially the Druid) has little to do with nature and leafs and more to moon and sun.

White wings.. please…

Whiet Wings please… make they come back..

Dragon Hunter skill line need more interaction with the bow.
->Bulwark -> Scrap shield of courage bonus and add it base line. Add Bow Specialist talent. Bow skills recharge 20% faster and auto attacks grant swiftness. All guardians weapons have the recharge talent and guardian is the only class without perma swift. This talent fix both.
->Dulled senses -> Knockbacks on dungeons sometimes causes troubles. Change it for knockDOWN.
->Big game hunter -> Change it for: Increase bow damage by 10% and bow skills cause vulnerability.
Also, i will like the whole trap concept go away… but i guess is too late for this. First, if i was hunting big dragons, use silly little traps on their feet seems like a waste. Also, we are ranged. We don’t want to go into melee to use our skills. Traps need to be ranged or changed for another thing. Like tricks ala Thief (know to hide or run vs a dragon seems like a good idea) or some kind of rally point (similar to necro wells).
The new elite skill need to go away. It affect 1 target, is a trap (so you need to go melee). Give us something ranged. Like, a super snipe shoot or we grow wings and levitate 5 secs above the ground making us invulnerable to melee hits.

Yes, another topic for it.

I guess im falling hard.. but can’t find it by myself. I see a lot of post talking about 5/5/0/4/0 Hammer PvE build, but i can not find the exact build (skills+talents). Can anyone link it for me? Thanks.

the skill its decent, its just for 10 SP…. but pretty sure it could use some tweaks. i will prefer roll dosent cancel the effect, because some times cause of lag, i roll 0,0001 secs too early and i dont recover my virtues (yeah, i sometimes panic cause if if need to RF when you are at 10% hp you want to roll ASAP).

it could use a small heal or a condition removal and the mentioned no-cancel
