Guild Wars 2

yeah still waiting…

Im pretty sure this already have been patched, not sure if it works tho, gonna try it when I remember to :P
I dont think “Save Yourselves!” works at all with Pure Of Voice

its very inaccurate, atleast 1/5 attacks MISS on all distances without the enemy dodging, they should increase the damage of it or rework it, if u wanna calculate the DPS of the scepter u should take the answear u get and remove 1/5 of the answear cuz thats how kittening often the weapon misses (if not more)

almost exactly the build Im running!
imo its smarter to avoid mixing 2h and 1h sets cuz u will pretty much lose 15% crit chance on one of the weapon sets cuz of the trait
I play pretty much WvW and Fotm so I use Sword and Scepter and running this build:

http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mccozmM9MmRNGmm0NRm0xax0MaqmMRq

I got 2,9k attack, 57% crit chance, 2,4k armour (remember SoJ gives u pretty much that doesnt show here), 17,7k HP (unbuffed ofc), 300 Healing power and 57% crit damage

Edit: if you wanna discuss guardian builds with 1h weps, feel free to /w me
Im the only guardian on deso who doesnt use GS.

I was just thinking…. someone shoud do a “Guardian Scepter Auto Attack Rework Request” and bring up that its very frustrating when the projectiles are moving slow and are so easy to avoid the enemies doesnt even have to evade to dodge em etc.?
the big reason why this “guardian with longbow” topic is so active is probably cuz our current alternatives are boring, unsatisfying and bad overall… oops I mean ALTERNATIVE cuz Guardians only got 1 kittenING ranged alternative :/

“Wow! the scepters projectiles are so slow, cool and interresting!” – No one Ever.

Im very dissapointed that they still havent done anything, Im about to quit the game cuz of this, I refuse to use GS and I play mostly Guardian :/
its like the dev team dont know any other weapon exists beside the GS

the Scepter is a kittening joke, very boring and clucky skills, should be reworked, same with 1h sword

no more comments on this? the community got this few sword users or what??? cuz the skill have been broken since the beginning.

true
there is a very few “viable” hairstyles atm :c

Musty.3148:

Personally I think ALL of our main hand weapons kinda suck.

But I do use sword, I use imobilize, f1, then the port, then ZD. And while it’s going I hit 5 (focus) for the blocks, switch to 2hs (with chill proc) and go into the spin/leap (if needed). It really is good burst for a Guardian specced the way I am. Normally the person is dead or close at this point. Couple AA’s with the 2hs and then start the rotation all over. I also have the 10% more damage on burning, vulnerability when blinding (port), etc etc. It’s got a MUCH better synergy with my build than any of those other Slow assed weapons.

IMO a scepter is important in WvW, its the guardians only ranged wep and if you use scepter + ? and sword + ? sets you can have one hand strenghts and get 15% for both :P if u use 1h + 2h it kinda feels like you miss 15% crit chance for one set

and yeah they should see over the guardians 1h weps :/

Jaqalope.6175:

I would recommend not using sword, since yeah, it’s clumsy for anything but pve.

its popular in sPvP also :P but its horrible in wvw :/
just look at some of Team Paradigms builds : http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQRAsf7elYgSD3GyKEg4Eh1DCKQ/VVIeXPgYEbIA;TwAA1CnoQygkAJLSOkkItwYgxOkZIA

http://www.intothemists.com/calc/?build=-7Fws;1NFk40J3kF-90;9;6JTJ;448-18458-7wl6;2nBnBnBnB6NE

so it seam to be viable in sPvP atleast :P (cant promise if the builds are updated tho, found em on their twitch channels)

Edit: LINKS Y U NO WORK!?!?! just copy them if you are interresting :P sry

it should atleast be as accurate as arrows, but it sometimes even miss when the enemys arent dodging when you got sight and the right range is that a bug or what?

hey

I use sword and Zealot’s Defence (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Zealot's_Defense) is just to clumsy. the activation time is much longer and you cant move when casting it so in WvW you mabye even deal less damage than auto attacking if you try to pop it and hold it on. and plus on that it misses alot of attacks even when the enemy arent even dodging and it should be fixed

if a Guardian GS skill would be this clumsy they would have fixed it in BWE 2

the projectile-shield is sucky too and over a super short period….

same problem here on Desolation, but just for a few ppl :P

Hey

Guardians sword auto-attack-chain-skill “Sword Wave” (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sword_Wave) still can’t hit siege equipment and some other stuff with yellow name, the gate lock (CoF part 3), Dummys in southern LA etc.

so if you attack an enemy catapult for example the character will hit with the 2 first attacks in the attack chain (Sword of Wrath and Sword Arc) and then will try to attack with Sword Wave 3 times, miss every single time and then restart the attack chain.

Like this :

[Sword of Wrath ->
Sword Arc->
Sword Wave MISS->
Sword Wave MISS->
Sword Wave MISS->
Restart attack chain]

on the wiki there is a note that says: Will be reflected by mobs with “reflect projectiles”.
so REALLY? Sword Guardians are melee but still got the disadvantages from being a ranged user?

please do something about this attack chain, it’s very frustrating when it takes LITTERALY 20 minutes to destroy 1 siege equipment

I get error code 7:11:3:189:101 in WvW

Destroyer Sword in GW1:

heya :P

I just bought a Destroyer sword and it’s upside down from what it was in GW1?!
it cost me 26g and it’s already soulbound T_T

is this a bug or just a weird design choice? I checked it out on GW2db and I just thought that the preview was broken

Can I please have a Mods comment on this?

Thx in Advice!

~Meow

Destroyer sword from GW2:

and some weapons doesn’t even get new skins (the torch for example doesnt got a halloween skin as far as I know)

Sky.9347:

Sword #3 is one of my favorite skills. I don’t think of it as ranged, I think of it as a melee ability that is VERY difficult to get away from.

I hope you are kiddin!

GS got also combo finishers on EVERY single skill (besides auto attack). and a pull skill
I use Sword+Torch and got non combo finisher. and if the enemy is running away, I cant stop him if I dont wanna spend 1 utility skill on some kitteny stun sigil that gives me the wrong passive stats

Torch skill #5 is horrible, very slow damage output and you have to hit alot to deal any dmg at all.
Could need a rework, same with torch skill #4, they doesnt fit in and got no other effect than burning and you got burning on each 5th attack (passive F1 skill) when you play guardian! why not a stun/cripple/bleed/pull-in/ weakness/ knockdown/ anything besides just burning.

And Yes, Sword skill #3 could be fixed like everybody else said, now its just too hard to hit with it, even when the enemies arnt evading and you have to stand still for a few seconds when casting it, so if they just run in zigzac they avoid my best dmg output skill

RaGe.9834:

A: non-exsistant, Guardians are uber tanky even when they don’t try for tankyness
but more seriously, if you want to go for dmg I would go for crit since there’s little to no real condition damage and power based builds in this game are left in the dust outside of pvp

We got the lowest amount of base HP in the game, “uber tanky even when they dont try for tankyness”. I bet you never played a guardian :P

hey!

I have been thinking about Greatswords users benefits and I’m a little pissed about it

-they have to pay less dungeon tokens to get their weapon(s) (they only need to pay 390 tokens instead of 300+210=510 the amount of tokens you have to pay for a onehanded+offhand) and the other twohanded weps. is also on 390. Why do they have to pay less tokens? GS in particular is probably the most used weapon and you are giving it a cheaper token-price? Why? I thought the prices/token-prices should be even for EVERY playstyle. (the tradepost prices is something diffrent because Anet can’t controll it as much)

-they can choose between two diffrent Legendarys, Twilight and Sunrise.
Why?

-they got a combo-finisher on single skill (2-4).
I use sword+torch as Guardian and I got zero combo-finishers :/

I hope you are going to care more about the other weapon users and not only the mainstream-weapon users. if one weapon is more populary than others you shouldnt give it more benefits

ps. I really like the game
