It has pigeon holed Guardians into a shout centric build if you want swiftness. For those Guardians that want to run a meditation build like myself, we’re just screwed! Thanks Anet, I have rerolled Warrior.
Queues work 2 ways… First and primary reason Queues are good is Balancing active combatants. The second way is punishment to people that log out in combat rather than take a death."
Queues punish those that have a majority during prime time or peak play, nothing more. Simply make it impossible to log out while in combat.
“Why should player B suffer because player A cries that B is taking the Keep when he cannot be there?”
Why should player A over come the extra burden of fortified defenses built up during off peaks ours, while being handicapped with queues during peak ours?

“WvW is about War, and War does not take a time out. You field the soldier 24/7 and do your job.”
Then remove the queues. In war there are no QUEUES!!!!!!!
Quoted from someone else who posted previously in here!!
“If everything in war is fair.
Remove – the – queues. Why do we have to fight equally in our prime-time and be underdogs at night (some server’s prime time)?
Why is there an undermanned buff? Why do they get better loot/xp whatever?
I really dont understand this logic.
Yes i know their server cant handle without queue… but you see queue also is an effort in making it equal in numbers. Why? If we have 3x your size on prime time let us zerg it all and enjoy it as you enjoy nightcapping.
Such pathetic excuses."
The long and short of it is, ANet took aim with a nuke at “perma-retal” builds, missed wide, and instead annihilated Greatsword’s synergy with its PRIMARY TRAIT TREE as well as a completely unrelated and widely used greatsword/symbol support build.
My guardian is shelved until they remove retal and bring the symbol back down to a sane cooldown, and no money parts from my bank account for ANY reason until this happens.
From the lack of even a response I am beginning to believe they were not aiming at retaliation but using it as a scapegoat. I am starting to believe that their intent was at GS symbol builds!
The simple solution would have been to leave everything the way it was except to remove retaliation from SoW! Can’t get any simpler than that. Now if Anet wanted to keep it similar to what it was before, then they could have swapped out retaliation with protection!
Judging by the wording in the notes (and past patches), guardian still hasn’t seen the last of retaliation nerfs.
Next time they need to change just the retaliation part of the skill and leave the rest of the stuff alone. I would have been perfectly fine had they completely removed retaliation or replaced it with protection or something. The change in skill order was enough for me to reroll a warrior, but to top it off by nerfing pve dps was the straw! I will shelve my guardian until all this retaliation crap is worked out and reroll. I just hate having wasted all that time leveling up to then get punched in the gut.
How about in a game that is allegedly targeting skilled PvP, a boon that can be kept up a ridiculous amount of time that passively reflects damage back, is skilless.
And that perhaps if that in a game that is allegedly targeting balanced PvP, that having a certain class be far in the way the best point defender, when all the tPvP maps are based on point control is unbalanced, so adjustment was needed.
They should have went about it differently. They effectively killed GS dps when all they had to do was replace the retaliation on the GS with something else or remove it entirely. It’s not like we dont have other means of retaliation. This nerfed GS dps in PVE because of PVP complaints.
I completely don’t understand why Anet didn’t just change the retaliation part of the skill rather than changing them around!!
They should have just left it the way it was and changed the length of retaliation!
Yep. I have been using the skills in the old order that I will never get the new order right… Time to move to another weapon I guess. The greatsword isn’t OP… They were nerfing retaliation and thats why they made the change… All the cries from people in PVP
Bard was a plate wearing class in Everquest.
Not plate, it was chain armor which scout classes are worn.
Plate are for tank/berserker/paladin classes…
He didn’t say Everquest 2. He said, Everquest. In Everquest they are plate wearers. Google it. I played a bard in Everquest until the big AoE nerf, the reason I left and started playing WoW. Bard was the only class in Everquest that could round up the entire zone and just run circles around them while killing them. Very hard to master technique.
