Meditation for fast and instant heal (more like your skill 6) and AH heals you better in the long run, especially with team mates. If you are going for PvE (mainly solo)I’d suggest meditation and if you going for any type of dungeon, WvW or sPvP then use AH.
Also Meditation offers a wider choice in stats relatively, in comparison to the standard Toughness, precision for AH based builds
Basically once you give other player boon(including yourself) no matter what type of method ( can be rune, active, passive ,etc) the heal will trigger. Why you nerf it Anet, Why?
I really wish there is a clear message from the Devs on how we are suppose to play guardian. I mean I know the play style varies but so far they nerfed the only few advantage we had over other classes. It is frustrating to see the gold you invested in gears and rune for the certain build become less effective. Although it is not directly stated, but it certainly seems that Dev intentionally nerfed AH build.
TBH I regret making my guardian human after seeing all the Norn running around with their flashy T3 armors and the size of Norns certainly live up for the name of Guardian. Personal preference tho.
Currently running with full Superior Rune of Lyssa and does shine times to times when there are backups nearby where you run to, but if theres no cover nearby then I am pretty much dead DX Superior Runes of the Earth seems really interesting with the 5 sec projectile reflection, I want to try it out and see how it performs on the field :P
As I am sure all of you are aware, guardian doesn’t have much mobility, not at all. In situations like WvW where you try to escape from 5+ enemies and they dump all the conditions and slows on you simultaneously, three utilities + one elite are simply not enough (Maybe I’m just bad). So my question is, are there any ways for a guardian to escape situations like such or are we just destined to die honorable for the greater good of the others? I know there are skills like judge’s intervention but the cool down is just too long for that one off escape and enemies tend to keep up (since we are so slow) and trap me again. I also tried to use staff 5 and hammer 5 to block the ones chasing me but since most of them are ranged and have cripple, it doesn’t make that much of difference.
Note:This is not a QQ thread as I am just seeking for better option to retreat in WvW
The only problem I am having with scepter is the auto attack animation… It’s WAY TOO boring. We guardians swing and shoot out a ball which is slow and doesn’t even fly in a straight path. Looks like a 5 yrs old boy threw out a blue balloon and it’s not gonna hurt anybody. Why can’t we shoot out mythical blade or an axe?
TBH if Anet do decide to make legendary sell-able I guarantee you there will be another group of people posting the exact opposite version of this post, complaining. Anet will never be able to please all the players when it comes to such issue, so it is better just stick with what you are given.
Not saying you should not have your own opinion of the game, but such topic is rather pointless due to the fact there are two contrasting idea from the player base.
On a side note, the reason why lodestone, ecto and T6 mat are at the current price range is because there are enough people out there who can afford theses stuff on a daily basis, therefore what price the majority willing to pay determines how much they go. Although it might be hard for some people but after all it is an executable price for sellers and buyers around all servers in guild wars 2.
So if everyone is able to obtain so called Medium-ranged item then it will be no longer “Medium” would it? I’d say dungeon weapons are low to medium ranged and corrupted and destroyer series are typical mid-ranged. This is what separates casual players and longer term players/ or players who simply puts more effort in the game. “I don’t have time to farm” is just an excuse saying “I want a cool looking weapon to show I am good at guild wars 2 but I don’t want to put too much effort to obtain such thing.”
Don’t get me wrong, I am not totally against OP’s idea as the current price for T6 mat is bit high… But consider this, people has been gathering mat for legendary weapon through farming and TP so compare with the effort to obtain legendary the gold/time required for a corrupted, destroyer or any 50-150 gold weapon are at their right place.
