Since it’s based around support, the odds are it won’t be high DPS. That would make it quite OP.
Yup. There is another weapon set more focused around ‘High" DPS, but can’t talk about that yet.
I hope you realize by saying that you’ve condemened it to disuse in any serious PvE content.
I think we’ve been through this for the past 2.5 years, but you guys don’t seem to understand why nobody stacks healing power in PvE and even with those traits they still won’t.
A damage output loss of that magnitude only increases fight duration that much more, which means more damage output from the boss that far exceeds what little benefit you gained in healing power by sacrificing DPS.
I mean, have you learned nothing from guardian staff and mesmer staff in PvE? Nobody uses them for a reason.
Pve isn’t the only game type.
new class needs to be fully balanced within all three formats. Your examples need some work as well. Plenty of players use guardian staff in pve and while it’s true that few use Mesmer staff for anything, that’s because it’s bad for everything, not because it’s full support.
Ok, let me correct. No good guardian that isn’t asking to be kicked from a speed run uses staff in PvE because an elementalist or warrior can already might stack for the group without messing up their damage output. Bad guardians use staff in PvE.
And if your idea for balancing across game formats is making a bunch of weapons which are useless in one of the formats, the design needs reconsideration.
Both Mesmer and Guardian Staff weapons are brilliant in sPvP, WvW etc, so please don’t use corner stacking excuse of a dungeons as an example how weapon is useful.
And like someone already said, they are revamping the PvE, so your corner stacking max dps spamming might not be so viable in upcoming content.
Its funny… B.c I cant remember that last Time we actually needed Corner stacking lol. most “speed” groups no days dont even use corners, it takes to long for the mobs to run to them, its faster to run out in the open and just AoE mob them down, if need to, a Guard or Mesmer will pull them together.
Call it whatever you want, the “stack, dps burst spam” point is the same.
Yeah, because killing weakling NPC camps or dolyaks, or standing around beating at some inanimate door or wall or zerging spamming 1/AOE for bags around is so much more skillful or thoughtful game format.
Your smug self importance is adorable.
What really is adorable is the fact that you think you know what you are talking about there.
I only pvp in WvW, not killing doors, zerg or whatever you do.
It’s really sad that ppl still think that Guardian Staff is only useful as loot stick, I thought we were past that narrow thinking, but I guess not.
