Guild Wars 2

Maybe the reason they keep adding to the Living Story and not the permanent content is because the new permanent content will be released in a new expansion?
Remember, Anet is already on money constraints. You have to hand it to them for being able to support this entire game without a monthly subscription. And you know that a new expansion is bound to happen.
The temporary nature of the Living Story keeps people wanting to come back to the game every 2 weeks or so to get the achievements, mini’s, and any other content temporary content. And while the Living Story content is getting released to hold us over, the rest of the developers can keep developing the new stories, events, and possible dungeons for a new possible expansion. It sucks if you want to take your time, but you can’t complain. Anet has already given you everything, including the kitchen sink, for a low cost. This the only way they can keep money coming in so that they don’t have to slap a $10/month charge on us.

Exedore.6320:

If anything, it will be nerfed because of PvE. It’s making too much PvE content too easy. If it does receive a nerf, it will probably just be a cooldown increase.

In sPvP, it’s not strong at all, and in WvW, it’s no stronger than the myriad of other AoE spam.

To be honest, a lot of PvE is easy, even before WoR is added to the equation.

Armor, Trinket and Weapon wise, it’s solid. You could also play around with a 0/0/30/30/10 with your traits. That’s my build, and I find it very tanky while giving adequate crit damage.

Well, you are practically full zerker, giving that DPS you want. Can’t say much more honestly, because this is as good as it’s going to get for your role.

I’m kinda surprised you didn’t go into a shout build though. Very interesting that you chose meditation.

Mix some soldier in for HP. If you’re running full healing power, then you should have enough to fill up the HP you get from soldier. (And even then, Guardians do a great job of refilling their health even with 0+ in Healing Power) So you should be fine with sticking some soldier in.

I don’t mind scepter. It isn’t the best, but it isn’t broken (in the sense of being unusable.) It gets the job done when I need it. Plus, I love the focus 5 too much to want to go to a longbow. If scepter can handle Lupicus, and other faraway mobs (Which it has been for me) then I’m fine.

But that’s just my 2cents.

That Crusher/Hunter change was a “pleasant” surprise for my guild last night. Caught us all off guard and we almost wiped. Twice. xD

Just how bad is the new AC? None of my guildies want to do it anymore, since we farmed every ounce of it when the game first came out. And, if it is harder, we’ll probably never do it again, since we can give the same amount of effort in Fractals or CoE and get better rewards.
