I have been playing this game for 2 years and find that Anet will only give 3 to 4 patches of real balance change for all classes. Thereby ,each chance is considered as a treasure ~~~
So for this time, i hope Anet can bring something really meaningful for guardians. As guardians are not got real buffs in these 2 years , Anet thinks that guardians are standing on a perfect spot. I dont think this is true.
OUT PLAYED BY CHILDREN won about 4 MP weekly champions in a row with no guardians. Ak’s team won the final game in TOL2 NA Q1 with 3 wars 1 thief and 1 engi. It is proved that guardians are no longer a " must be here" team member. The problem is that guardians as a bunker/supporters lack of enough dps compare to other bunkers/supporters .
Rangers on their peak time of using sprit build can do good condi removes with decent damages out put
Nowadays, engis can bunk the point with enough damage out put by turrets
ELE can be tanky and supporter with more damage out put than guardians
Thereby i think guardians really need some buffs for dps out put.
My suggestions is that first of all, like i said many times to give more dps functions in current traits and spells.
Or improve medi gurdians give them more tanky ability or mobility to be viable in the match.
For the second suggestion, I think if Anet want to seperate guardians into two roles, then bunkers can be build without mobility while dps gurdians can do this. This will make the match and game become more interesting than it is currently.
I can tell that if Anet insist on the old idea of guardians ( just a bunker without enough dps abilities and mobilities) then this class will finally have the same situation as ELES before the April patch.

randomly? So does it mean they always pick up 2 classes randomly every two weeks ? or 1 fix plus 1 random???
I’m not sure what you are asking. A specific system of them choosing vs random means nothing. They picked Rangers because that was the CDI, and it was obvious that Rangers deserved the first spot. From there they were thinking of going in alphabetical order (according to Grouch), but decided to simply yolo and random pick one: engi.
Everyone is still getting balance changes, it’ll all hit in the same patch most likely too, its just a matter of which of the 4 RUs over the 6 week period each profession is on.
I am just asking how they made decison to choose classes orders… you answered me ~Thanks so much for this .
One more question is that what is the full name of CDI?
This assumes they know, and I’m not sure that’s true according to Grouch’s comment that Engi was included basically randomly.

Like the topic said to you, I think Anet should tell us balance discussion arrangement in details.
Today, we have got rangers and engineers. Then the next 3 ready-up should be on
Aug 8
Aug 22
and Sep 5
So Anet can you please tell us which class will be picked up in these days ? Therefore we can choose to pay more attentions for the one we care about than others. I dont think this should be a kind of secret to be kept. If we can know your arrangement then we can arrange our real time activities in order to leave enough time to watch the live.
WVW: What kind of build can be used in WVW to defeat HAMBOWers , engis ,heavy condi necs ? I know someone may recommand me to use ZERKER armor with medi build , but i am curious about that zerker medi build has a very low health , is it really viable for guars to defeat listed foes ???
PVP : I am also seeking a viable spvp (solo-Q) build for guars. Many told me that medi guardians can not win as much as it in low levels, so what should i use in high pvp level matches ?? I dont think bunkers are really effective for such kind of matches, so what build else can be used in high level ? Hybrid? (e.g. 00644??)
Thanks so much for helping me ~~~~
Best 1v1ers and their build
Warrior:Tarcis-hambow, APEX Prime
Rar- hambow, or axe sword, Outplayed By ChildrenEngineer: Backpack-Celestial Engi, Outplayed by Children
Thief: Caed- dp thief NO sa, Covered in Baby Oil
Aids/Necro: Noscoc, condi, Outplayed By Children
Elementalist: Wakkey, celestial dd, Outplayed By Children
Zoose, celestial dd, Covered in Oil Baby OhhRanger: eura, beast master
Mesmer: sucks unless ur with no los, or not on a point, luckily u never have to fight like that
Guardian: dps, extremely good 1v1 kaypud was guard god
So. What beats what… necro, everything, engi beats all but necro, ele beats all but necro engi, warrior can beat ele, but if everyone plays perfectly they lose to thief engi ele and necro, mesmer gets kittened by most classes, so does ranger… guard sucks kinda… all of these are builds run by players in a team, if executed they can win team fights and 1v1s easily…. if u think ur turret engi beats a celestial engi, gl see u at my summercamp kittenter
For ele part , i disagree some points. I think ele has the equal chance to beat engi and necro as long as players have the same skill levels. However, i’d admit that it is almost impossible for DD ele to beat warrior (HAMBOW)
Oh it’s spvp.
Go 0,0,2,6,6
It’s all just a timing thing. Watch his buffs for stability and don’t waste knockdowns.
It’s hard to give tips as I find it’s all alot of practice in 1v1 with any class and is nearly always dependent on the skill of the other player. There’s not a class in spvp 1v1 who you should be facerolling if the other guy is equally skilled.
I can’t tell if you are serious or not. D/D wins by kiting enemies around and self healing.
One of the main damage points of a D/D ele is burning, which is completely outhealed with healing signet.
Unless the warrior is playing really bad, an ele should never win against a warrior as D/D their build completely counters the strategy of it.
I agree with you, as i have watched stream of zoose few days before. He duels several times with his friednd , Briar . Only few times for him was to be a winner. Usually he could not even made enough damage to reduce warrior hp below 50% when he was downed by the hammer combos.
So, here i am curious about that what build can help ele to win a warrior in a duel? Just to win HAMBOW wars, can SD fresh air do it???
Two choices:
1) go condi build and win easily.
2) Just normal rotations, don’t be a tanky build and remember to dodge the big hits. Know how to lightning flash + burning speed well.
are you sure CONDI-ELE can be used in SPVP? I think its only viable in WVW and what should ele do to against war in SPVP?
likewise the topic said, currently I want to level up my 3rd character to 80. However, it is really a question for me to make the decison between these 2 claesses.
My main target is to find a one good at roaming in WVW and good at PVP as an offensive one.
To ele, what i know is really good in PVP for almost all roles (DD bd), but i cant find some decent videos about roaming DDer in WVW, Which worries me so much about the performance of dd ele in WVW…
Moves to Guardian part, i know many of you play guardian with medi build in PVP and feels good. However, i find a post to mention that there is guardian hit the top 10 in solo socreboard. This made me feel that medi build will be very tough for me to win pvp games in high levels(pvp LEVEL).
Thereby, i am really want to know which one to choose?
I just want to know how did you know their main characters in tpvp and builds from the leaderboards?
Hi, guys. Since eles got a huge buff from the feature patch, i think guardians have almost no chance to defeat ele in 1v1. In tpvp 1v1 sometimes is important, for example, skyhammer usually require a good 1v1 player to control the cannon…
Ok, lets come back to the topic, as i have watched and tested by myself, i think that currently, meditation or other kind of dps guardian have a very low win rate to defeat eles (DD) as they have so many shields (aura) and dps output while shileding and moving.
So I post this thread to get opnions and ideas about how to improve the win rates of us in duel with eles , especialy dd ones
May we see your gears and details of your build, as I think that numbers only are not enough for us to learn something ~~~
this is my current build and armor
Utilities. I used to use sigil of domination but I dropped it to try other ones. however I keep going back to it because I love it. 3 seconds of stun @ 1200 range is enormous either for running and chasing. I do not really care about the condi damage boost. I often use it as an opener which allow me to start the fight with the upper hand and put pressure.
I am planning to switch torch for knight and back for zerker. The only thing I am doubtful is the food. There are so many good ones… which one do you think is the most appropriate?
Runes. Currently using centaur. What do you think about runes of air? Is traveler worth it? These are the option I am considering. Thanks
I have seen your build. I just want to ask you than when u use the gears mixed by knight and zerk then can you still win the fight of 1v2 or 1v3 ? As you completly abandon the condition damage , whats you feeling about it ?
People need to stop saying certain classes need nerfs. They do not. It is certain specs within a class that need to be adjusted. For warriors, CC regen will get a hit at some point as it should.
Have u listened to the SOTG? If you do , you will find that both of them is following what anet want to be… So I dont think there will be a nerf but some adjust may be.
I’d admit that they didnt mention something specific about how to change warriors, but i dont think this shoud be a hint of nerfs to wars. In contrast they think people can kite kite kite warriors when they are activing berserker stance or something else. Warriors will be counted by other players skills. This is what i have learnt from their words.
However, it is possible that wars will meet some slight nerfs or changes like necs to be made more balance if they really need to be.
Dagger Warhorn.
Axe Focus. (I remove Signet of Rage, all 3 buffs every 12 seconds.)You get 40% cooldown on focus? And you never swap sets?
Don’t listen to him, he’s the resident troll. Most of what he says isn’t probable or factual and anything he’s ever suggested is OP.
As for the war, the condi meta will change and if you listen to Jonathan’s last comment on the H/LB war, he hints at it actually being OP but stops himself. They’re very sensitive when it comes to the subject of the war.
He’ll get a drop in his regen, that needs to happen, but I think as they mull over traits his more OP defense line will be rearranged properly. They’re not coming out and saying they’re going to nerf the war because people just started playing bunker/CC wars. It’ll happen though, it needs to.
RT, According to the state of the game ( http://twitch.tv/guildwars2guru) that we warriors seems to be fine. As Jonathan thinks that the original purpose of warrior is a sturdy body. Then the CC abilities can forces others to bring BS spells rather than too much offensive spells or to be glass cannon.
Moreover , they also think that each class can counter warrior as long as they know skill manchenics of warriors. This means warriors have half to half chance to win the batter for each class.
Is that all from this SOTG? I post this thread in order to confirm the above viewpoint, as i cant find any word record of this SOTG therefore i wish some one can go to listen it and check my information. The warrior part starts at 4:20. The link has been post as well in the above part.
As I write this topic, i just want to know what Anet plan to do to buff warriors or use other methods to let them show in Tournaments? One of an author in other forums who always writes game match comments after each matches(I.E. the pax this time) with some words insult warrios. For example warriors are sucks, rubbish and XXXX because of none picking by clans….
I have reviewed other peoples’ threads and find than in PAX Tournament, warrior still are the lowest class to be picked up by Clans, though we have been buffed through three patches.
This can make people both happy and sad. The happy thing is that we can still get buffs in next patches perphaps . The sad this for the current truth….
Whats your build then….? CON or shouts or?
