100% agree with OP. Also This deserves an developer response.

My suggestion 10 or 12 sec cd (if you really want push it, 12 could be still ok-ish) for symbol. Remove or nerf the retaliation. Add something else, like vigor maybe? Or might?

And we might be back again to having some fun.

Fury would be really nice.

Fury would make some crit-based builds OP; Might for offense or Vigor for defense are both pretty balanced. As long as SoW’s recharge gets reverted down to 10 seconds.
Anet feedback would be much appreciated.

With the recent increase to SoW’s recharge, I found myself not even bothering to use WW until I could effectively combo them together. Now I look at my guardian and just let out a long-drawn sigh. I’ve been using GS and scepter/focus since pre-release and on my guardian alone I’ve logged a little over 400 hours. I have attempted using a hammer, but it’s just not for me. I have also attempted other professions, but I have enjoyed guardian the most. I have considered mace/shield but I can’t even find myself wanting to do a few dungeons to get them.

I really don’t care much about retaliation, as I run a toughness/boon heals build. In fact, I would be quite content if SoW granted vigor instead of retaliation with the original 10 second recharge. The changes to the recharges of SoW and Leap of Faith hardly seem like a fair trade-off. This heavily affected the combo-ability of GS and my general enjoyment of this game.

screenshots for credibility,

Unless this has already been mentioned, here’s another side the greatsword changes have affected: with the increased cooldown on Symbol of Wrath, you have not only affected retaliation, but also any of its synergies with symbols and applying boons in general.

Honor’s major trait “Writ of the Merciful” (10) heals anyone standing in your symbols per second, which is very useful in any encounter on a stationary target that may distribute conditions such as burning to nearby players. This change also affects the amount of times you can combo Symbol of Wrath and Whirling Wrath to remove conditions from nearby allies.

Valor’s major trait “Altruistic Healing” (11) heals the guardian once any boon is applied to any nearby ally per second. This is especially effective in any encounter where the guardian has current aggro of the target and there are nearby allies in melee range/standing in your symbol; this also generally helps with solo play as well.

Here’s an idea: revert the changes made to the greatsword, however nerf the Virtues’ major trait “Vengeful” (2) from 25% retaliation down to anywhere from 14% to 21% or however you see fit. This trait is specifically for retaliation and nothing more, and reverting the greatsword changes will resolve the muscle memory issue, whereas I’m sure nobody’s muscle memory will be affected by editing a boon duration trait.

Seeing as nerfing Symbol of Wrath solely for its retaliation also affects other aspects of builds (unless intended), I would like you to specifically focus on retaliation alone instead of a meaningful skill with many different uses. The Vengeful major trait seems to be the most logical target for editing, in my opinion.

Morzul.4625:

as no dungeon/karma/crafted items has that same attribute set (pow,vit,tou).

incorrect, the first stat distribution on AC dungeon gear is Pow > vit = tou, aswell as the second stat distribution on CoE gear and the third stat distribution on HotW gear

Aeridus.4706:

Aurora’s Remains was the one I was missing; thanks!!!

Also, to the person who got 346 hearts in their achievement: How? Or is that an accountwide total?

account wide total indeed =]

since most new threads are getting buried, I will bring this one up to date: 100% world completion* is working for the most part, a few people still have not received their chest reward. explorer achievements* are working, first screenshot attached. “Been There, Done That”* is NOT working, character screen says 98% and the achievement itself says 97%.

notes:

world completion* – specific collection of all PoIs, Vistas, skill challenges, waypoints and renown hearts, EXcluding dungeons

explorer achievements* – specific discoveries of white-named areas, EXcluding dungeons (these achievements also have no relation to world completion)

“Been There, Done That”* – the full 100% completion of explorer achievements: kryta 175, orr 60, maguuma 165, shiverpeak 172, ascalon 175

Jim Travakh.7495:

just to confirm, an ‘area’ is a named region on the map, right? Every area will be named and marked once discovered?

that is correct

“Been There, Done That” is based on exploring areas, not world completion for pois, vistas, etc. I’ve had 100% world completion since September 3rd

yes, this is all on one character
e: i had these numbers before i created my alts and it showed the 98% 97% numbers before the patch

so after this patch, they have the correct fixed number of explorable areas, which I happen to have all of: 175/175 Kryta, 60/60 Orr, 165/165 Maguuma, 172/172 Shiverpeak and 179/179 Ascalon
except, the “Been There, Done That” achievement still says 98% on the character screen and 97% on the achievement

I have been getting a hell of a lot of lag lately in keg brawl, rubber banding is constant and I also get disconnected every other match. I didn’t know you could earn glory in keg brawl, but if so then it’s not working because my rank is not increasing either.

for the world completion chest, try going into Chantry of Secrets which is directly south of Lion’s Arch portal to Bloodtide Coast, there’s a cave entrance next to Deadend Waypoint

also, there is another thread about this that got an Anet reply a while ago (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/100-world-completion-bug) they know about the problem so we’re just waiting on another update

edit: as for the 97% map completion medal, I have no idea, I’m stuck at 97% aswell

Kwok.1785:

Just got my 100% map completion and didn’t receive the 100% map completion reward, I have received only the reward for the completion of the map I just finished (Malchor’s Leap).

if you haven’t already, try going into Chantry of Secrets which is the Order of Whispers base directly south of Lion’s Arch in Bloodtide Coast, inside a cave next to the Deadend Waypoint

I’ll add in some more here, yes I have gotten my world completion rewards by going to Chantry of Secrets and now I am looking at the map exploration “Been There, Done That”. As of this post, my character screen says 98% and my achievement says 97% like the rest of you guys, but here’s my numbers for each region: Kryta 175/178, Orr 60/65, Maguuma 164/169, Shiverpeak 172/177 and Ascalon 179/187

thanks warhero, this actually worked haha

Hello, I have gotten 100% world completion (all vistas, skill challenges, etc) however when I got the last point of interest to complete the current zone, and thus completing the world, I only received a reward chest popup from the zone, and not the world. I still have yet to receive the world completion reward popup.
