Guild Wars 2

@Valik Shin, That is exactly what I am talking about, how insane it is for other classes in lighter armor to be able to tank something better then a fully armored Heavy class is absurd. With Warrior’s damage ability dwindling, maybe its time Arena Net focus on something the Warrior can actually be good at and actually attempt to break this ridiculous Berserker stat Meta that the game has been monetized with by the elitist players.

Oh I am fully aware about Arena Nets personal Holy Trinity, as to that I am not referring to. I am talking about how Chronomancer and Reaper are the top damage takers preferred over heavy armor classes to be used in raids, as to which I feel the Heavier classes have been short changed in this sort of situation, It’s ridiculous how much Survivability a Reaper in Power, Precision, and Toughness is compared to a Warrior in Toughness, Healing Power and Vitality…

All I’m asking for is the heavy’s be able to stand on an equal or better ground in terms of Ability to take damage, and to make the Heavy armor actually feel heavy rather then like sheet metal, been a big complaint I’ve had since day one.

So as the title states, I’d like to see the warrior a Viable Tank again like it’s predecessors in Guild Wars 1 use to be. Now to those of you who argue Warrior was never a tank in Guild Wars 1 can take your Perma Shadow Form Assassins and just leave now… Cause I’m not discussing Meta Tank Builds any further than this post.

After reading and listening to the current Meta, I’m disappointed to see that two of GW2’s Lightest armor classes are the best tanks (Chronomancer and Reaper) and what for? Cause they deal the most damage wile tanking… I don’t quite understand it, I’ve run an all Defensive based Warrior since the beginning of the game currently sitting in full Nomads armor (Laugh if you want I don’t care) Shouldn’t the heaviest classes be the best tanks? Or has Arena Net forgotten that little detail.

All I see and hear on this forum are “WARRIOR CAN’T DEAL ENOUGH DAMAGE!” or “NERF WARRIOR DAMAGE!” Excuse the caps, but to me it’s gotten rather old… So I ask why can’t the warrior, guardian, or even the revenant, be a successful tank in the Mainstream? Heck I wouldn’t care if an Elite Specialization in the future would fix that but as it stand now, Defensive Gear gets no love in “Berserker Meta Wars 2” And the Devs seem happy and content not utilizing all the armor set types to the fullest potential.

Now don’t mistake this for a mad rant complaint post, I am just generally upset over how this mechanic never seemed to ever appear despite the options to do so given to us in the game through stats, traits and upgrade components. So simply put I would like to hear what others have to think of this subject and maybe a response from a Dev ( doubt I’ll see that). So lets just have a calm and collective discussion here if you please. Thank you.

So I like the idea behind the action camera, good move on the Devs part but… I dislike how it automatically changes the vertical position far setting within the camera settings if it weren’t for that I would gladly trade it out for my Combat Mode script, as it seems to have this issue with making my mouse ghost up to my mini map and when ever I use my mouse wheel it zooms the mini map instead of my camera… so yeah toggle on Vertical Position Far please! I don’t see how forcing this option was a good idea for customization.

Tanking Hasn’t been nerfed, you silly goofs… the stats you got from your traits have been added in to both your armor and into your base character stats, overall it’s actually higher then it was before…

I’ve ran a Tank based Warrior since Pre-Release going full Regen and Banner Regen, Currently sitting in full Nomads Exotics, no Ascended except for my Bolt… Before the patch I never got her toughness above 2800, now I’ve managed to bring it up to 3205 with my Momentum Sigil at max stacks, and with a Vitality sitting at 31k to 32k at times. Over All other then the moving of some traits like Inspiring Battle Standards now residing in Discipline (A move I still am grumbling about.) Tanking as been buffed In one way, As for healing power I haven’t really payed much attention, but testing my warrior against the Mordrem last night I didn’t see a very vast change…. I’ll need to go see if I can tank the Legendary Teragriff like I did months ago to tell anything specific…

So Please do more extensive build testing and changing before you go Jumping off high places and to false conclusions…

I have an Idea, make a second Vertical Camera slider, one where it solidly adjusts the camera height when you zoom out and doesn’t send your camera to the ceiling making it so all that you see of your character is their head.

The adjust to character height option is nice for first person but puts my character camera too high when I zoom out on characters. I don’t know about some people but I actually like to SEE my character when I zoom in and out, on norn the default position puts it at her belly, wile on humans it’s perfectly fine, keeping their heads within the screen on a full zoom in. So a slider just for true vertical adjustment for in between character head height check box and default is needed. These settings would need to be a per character adjustment of course.

Forum with 5 Months but no replys, i can feel your pain on this event me and 3 guildies hit this place last night and i can say we put up a much better fight then you did, two engineers and a level 80 thief(Me) but after a wile we were still overwhelmed, of course we thought it was fun, then we came back and slaughtered he survivors but i did think it was a bit much just 3 of us still thats the only time I’ve seen is event happen and I’ve been playing since Pre-Release, seems to be a bugged event tho…

HAH! I knew it, i fast traveled into Gendarren Fields Nebo Terrrace wile my fan was pretty much on Idle from sitting in Divinity and when i come into the Zone all the Grass and Flowers were there, It must be dependant on Fan Speed and Heat if they show up or not.

So your saying its probably a problem with the HD 4800 Series Card? goody…

Right Crashing from Grass? I’ve had mine appear when I’ve had it on High before on occasion these Random Bits and Pieces Anet limits are understandable but stupid same goes with the horrible Render distance on characters, Anet needs to stop Limiting and allow us to control what we think is best and that we can handle….

I have the Same problem he is having and to be honest it is rather Obnoxious My Computer is in Close Proximity to his Specs. I’ve had the Grass Appear wile in High Shaders but only on Occasions sometimes it will be off in the distance and vanish as i get close.

Anyone ever notice how every game never takes into consideration if you are left or right handed? well i have. Personally I am Left Handed and I’ve always wondered why do game creators never take into consideration especially for MMO’s that you are not left or right handed? it would be easy just add a question to the character creation screen if you are left or right handed and swap the model so it shows when you carry a weapon. I think this would be a great idea to add for Guild wars 2 cause it would give more individuality for Character creation!

I’m having trouble as well, been happening for about an hour now.
