Guild Wars 2

Saiyan.1704:

No, we’re not the weakest class in the game. If we were we wouldn’t be the 5th pick in PvP.

Damage: Average or slightly above average. One thing’s for sure is we’re not slacking in this department.

Health pool: We don’t facetank like warriors. It’s our blocks, blinds, invuln, that makes up for our low health pool.

Conditions: You’re pretty much on queue here but “one condition” isn’t the reason why we’re slacking. It’s the Burn mechanic, our F1 isn’t AOE and all of our burns applications are for single targets. It’s why it’s the best 1v1 build but crappy (compared to other condi classes) in Zerg 3v3+ fights. I can elaborate further if need be.

Weapons: The only crappy weapons we have is Shield and maybe Mace. Everyone else uses Hammer (meta), Staff (meta), GS, Scepter, Focus, Sword. In that order.

You’re right about one thing. HoT could make us or break us when it comes to viability in comparison to other classes. Our Condi spec could be either OP, or UP depending on trait allocations and changes. Our damage may be average or above average but the biggest thing I fear is our survivability. Already we’re easily counterable by heavy kiting and/or heavy sustains. We’ll just have to see what happens.

Think you forgot torch here man, number 5 could burn a ton of people also GS/secpter torch is a pretty op combo in zerker build.

Nerfed? Nothing has been finalized yet. [/quote]

As i said it probably isnt intended was just bringing it to their attention like they asked the community to do on the live feed. If it makes it to live as shown it would be a nerf. Better?

That kind of sucks then cause that means my guardian dps build is getting nerfed (though probably not intended) and i hope other zerk guardians speak up to this. we will not be able to take the two primary trees for dps and still get the bonus from retributive armor and unscathed contender. Really hope this doesn’t get over looked guardians have had a hard enough time in the past with the huge hit to our HP.

better eat em all now and buy up some blood stone shards and what ever else you can.

My guardian build isnt burned completely but I will be taking a hit to overall dps due to having to decide between retributive armor and unscathed contender.

With the new trait changes are we locked to choosing only 3 trait lines at a time or will will still have 0/3/2/3/1 type builds?
