Guild Wars 2

I would reply but this guy said it better than I ever could:

I encourage OP to read this and think about it, realy think about it.

To summarize Banewrath.5107:

Don’t worry people, the scepter is good because it is bad and groups are unpredictable.

aka: Throw it on people so they dodge away in better, more damaging AoE’s in an improbable, theoretical and ideal strategic environment in large groups?

Banewrath.5107:

2. Smite is a powerful skill. Throw in into a group of people and they start dodging using thier stamina to be unable to evade more powerful attacks from teamates.

So what you are saying is this:

Smite is powerful because: enemies dodged the kitteny skill you threw at them so guys with non-kitteny skills can hit them???

Make a new Engineer if you have a characterslot available, pick the goggles, the monocle or the backpack (whichever you prefer), complete the tutorial, put it on the bank and delete the character.

Why are you discussing “Tanking” in a game where nobody is or can be a “Tank”.
There is only guys who die in 1 hit and guys who die in 3 hits. Nothing is supposed to be face-tanked like in other MMO’s. Besides aggro is partialy proximity based so there’s absolutely no way a Guardian ALWAYS pulls ALL aggro from you.

Secondly, I play a level 80 Guardian and the only thing I can do well in Dungeons is play a half-assed support/control hybrid. Putting up walls and lines, hoping that my party is smart enough to get behind them for the duration.

A Warrior has A LOT more HP and a lot more inherent defense. The only thing a Guardian is better at than Warriors is regenerating HP and in a game where there are no “Healers”, that healing is relatively kitteny.

Thirdly, melee combat in Dungeons is laughable and the Warrior has a VASTLY superior array of ranged weapons to choose from.

I think you missed my sarcasm . This a just a build featured in the bio of a player (that’s in one of the best tPvP teams around) who streams frequently on Twitch.tv. He copied it 100% and posted it here as his own.

The build itself has it’s uses but is indeed countered by anything that has condition damage stacked as a stat. Besides if you contest a node 1v1 with a bunker Guardian on top of it with this build, you’re doing something you shouldn’t even be trying.

Stil it’s fun to see people get surprised by the uncharacteristic amount of burst coming from an Engineer.

Thanks for copying this build from the guy streaming on Twitch for everyone to see!
