Guild Wars 2

OP is a noob. Seriously, I’m not sure if he’s a noob, stupid or a troll. But based on his replies, pretty sure he’s stupid + noob.

Look, if you don’t get what the others are telling/explaining to you, go play some more and test some more.

When you #gitgud or once you #gitgud. Go back to this piece of trash thread that you made and laugh at your stupidity.

Hi OP, my computer can’t handle the far away rendering.

Can you please post a screenshot of that asura portal in mendons and the JP at red keep, so that other players who has a not-so-powerful machine can see them as well. Thanks!

Not sure in PvP because I don’t use staff on that mode, but it does increases Boon Duration on PvE and WvW, but there’s a tool tip bug and you wont see the added boon duration on your hero stats window.

(p.s 11 months issue already and they did nothing in fixing the tool tip / hero stats window bug on this, oh well they did not fix our mixed up traits and useless utilities after June 2015 patch and other succeeding patches prior to that either)

I actually miss the old trait system, most fellow veterans would agree on this.

After the June 2015 update, everything became super casual friendly and the traits were dumbed down to the point that only 1 to 1 and 1/2 viable builds are attained, even without the HoT specialization before, people are running 2 to 3 viable builds, 1 to 2 fun builds and 2 to 3 experimental builds.

The added stats is a plus side to the guardian as well, thats why the class is very outdated because part of the problem of guards is we lost the added stats of the traits (aside from the outdated utilities and mixed up traits of guardians) I’m pretty sure some class suffered a lil bit with the stat lost of the old trait system as well.

If you have played the guardian class since the beginning, then by now you should already know what the class is missing and what the class needs fixing.

Where is the +25% Movespeed? (for 3 years, veteran guards are screaming for this. pvp, wvw and even pve players) If you really mained the class by heart, then you should’ve put a trait like this.

Basically, what you did is nerf the Guards DPS area. I’ll give you another one example.
Amplified Wrath and Permeating Wrath both at the Radiance Grandmaster. We are now forced to choose 1 of this 2 good dps trait? Tsk.
Why did you remove the trait Power of the Virtuous?

You also did a slight nerf to Survivability. One example is,
Absolute Resolution is missing (no more 3 condi cleanse & higher resolve hp per tick)
This trait is very useful in pvp and wvw.

The only thing you did right is the ability to choose Altruistic Healing and Monk’s Focus at the same time on 1 trait line. (we were able to choose both before too, 2 years ago)

Other than that, everything is Meh. Lol. Lel. Kappa.

To each his own I guess.
Not being rude or trolling, just wanted to say that If you think guard is boring, then it simply means that the class isn’t for you.

Hi OP,
I’ve been playing guard for 3 years. I’m one of those stubborn people who really love the guardian class. Even with all the nerf and outdated skills and traits I still main Guard.

I have 4.1k hours playing that class alone and mainly play PvP and PvE. I was a WvW player the first 1 year of my GW days. When DH was introduced, I was not happy with it. I don’t like bows or traps, but I have to adapt. Even with it, the outdated core traits and utilities are still bothersome for me. I wanted to QQ but I did not..

Now, for the first time after 3 years, I finally gave in and changed a main class.
I am now using Herald, Scrapper and Reaper. Rev main now. It’s innevitable and just sad to see the class I love, totally forgotten because of the massive outdated stuff in it.

Guards are in good spot bullkitten.

Critical Hit Eviscerate = 17 damage
Critical Hit Chop = 39 damage
Critical Hit Double Chop = 4 damage

Using a Zerker Amulet.

Yeah, something is really wrong with that Ele. Anet needs to check that out this coming April 19th Balance.
NotLikeThis man FeelsBadBruh

Mactchmaking is better this season compared to last season.

I managed to get to diamond last season (3 more wins til legendary before season 1 ended)
This season, I got into Sapphire just now. I can get that legendary soon.
You get placed on pugs with your current MMR.

Whereas before, high MMR people carry’s other low MMR people and vice versa like low skilled players pulls the high skilled players MMR down.

If you have bad/low/average MMR, then you’ll get bad/low/average MMR pugs.
If you have average MMR, you’ll get placed with new players too since they automatically have average MMR from the start.
If you have good MMR then you’ll be paired with good MMR pugs.

Low skilled players will likely get stucked while high skilled players climbs the ladder.
It shoud be like that. This is the new matchmaking system, and it is better.

You can also wait for the league to settle down by waiting other people progress so you can get a better matchup.

So please stop the salt. Play the game well.

Atlast! Major changes.
…Why just now

After alot of friends and people left the game.
Meh

Sad and mad.
Very good, keep up the speedy fix.
Wow. Much speed. Very wow.

Wow lots of QQ regarding Rev’s strong hammer skills. Have you seen Guardians Hammer skills? No nerf or buff and not that good. Only AA is good in PVE and with ugly light fields. Slow animations on #3 and #4. Long CD on #3 and #4. Only #2 is a blast finisher wih meh range and bad uphill/downhill slope use. Very slow AA chain, bad and mixed up hammer traits. Very outdated hammer skills this time of HoT.

I still us em. I still love it even its like that I still find ways.
We are not complaining tho, just wanted to show you that your Rev Hammer skills are still good even with the nerf.

SMH
/thread

I think I should add the ff too

Mighty Blow (Hammer #2) – Pathing problem most of the time when you are in an inclined space and when you are on high ground/low ground (vice versa)
It’s been a problem ever since, not fixed yet. The range doesn’t feel 600 either.

Torch #5 – Sometimes if not most of the time does not remove 1 condition per second to allies.

Pls feel free to add more

Okay, quick introduction first right?
I’m a Guardian main since the early days with 8k+ hours of play time with the class for 3 years. Mainly plays PVE & PVP only.

I have 5 toons but Guard is the one i love and kept using even with the nerfs way way back, kept quiet and did not complain (vigor, radiant power, empowering might and many more nerf/changes), even with the power creep of HoT i stayed Core and did not complain. I recently bought HoT (3 days ago) because I need some new content and finally gave in just to use an elite specialization (DH)

Pvp perspective from 61% win ratio, went up to 64% after using DH. (yes, i’m not bad at pvp, but i’m not as good as those pro’s who are in legendary.) I did not complain even when the Matchmaking is really messed up.

The Issue
We saw the upcoming balance update & I’m prettu sure that we’re gonna face a big big problem if Anet messed up the balance for our beloved class once again.

Let’s talk about the Utilities & Traits that needed some rework.
Right now, this comes to my mind.

1. Hallowed Ground – Too long CD compared to other specs. 1 Stab per pulse (meh) Still too long CD for a mediocre trait even if traited with Master of Consecration.
2. Signets – Judgement is ok, not too much good but because of stun break that was added before it became ok. But Bane, Mercy and Wrath are a little bit lackluster. Not sure if they’re going to renew this or not. It isn’t broken, but its not that much useful.
3. Honorable Staff – Boon duration 20% inline with the trait line of Empowering Might and Pure of Heart, the trade off is really bad because you need to give up those 2 traits that are much better than boon duration knowing we dont have better boons compared to tempest, scrapper, chrono & herald.
4. Glacial Heart – I love it before because I can get it and still use permeating wrath or absolute resolution. Now, its in line with the 2 which are far better than this trait.
5. Spirit Weapons – Needs to be reworked again. (2x reworked, but still Meh except for PVE. But even in PVE its not that much good except for the shield)
6. Radiant Retaliation – Wat.
7. Radiant Power – The change you made on this minor trait, made Radiance line a lil bit more weaker as it is already not that good even before changing it.
8. Inner Fire – PVE good. PVP bad.

I know there’s a lot more and I want to put them here but the wall of text is already bugging me. But you guys can add them up if I missed out something.

Discuss. Keep an open mind and lets not try to flame each other. We Guardian main (or ex main) should help each other and collaborate.

TLDR; Trait & Utility talk and discussion that needs to be reworked and fixed to be inline with the other Classes. Let’s help each other so we don’t become the next Trash Tier Class.

Edit: Formating

Best meta for me was the launch Zerker meta and the meta before Dhuumfire was introduced. Those were the days, I liked the old trait system too (you can mix trait & every trait point has a +50 on a specific stat)

When Celestial meta came, it went a lil bit downhill. Then came Pre HoT, (new ugly trait system, removed the + stats with a lot of changes and trait placement change that put a big hurt on some profession) Now, post HoT, cancer. Cancer everywhere.

Hi, I don’t actually post here in the Forums, but I frequently visit & read all the stuff/news in the community.

I recently played GW2 again after a very long hiatus.
(started playing since beta, stopped playing sept 2014)
After checking out all the new stuff, I found out that I have lost some AP’s.
From 22k down to 13k+

Can someone tell me what happened?
Oh, I didn’t do any AP bugs or abuse. I just completed almost all of the events.

I don’t have a screenshot with me right now, but any game moderator can verify my claim.

Thank you and all the best!

Gaile Gray.6029:

I have a feeling that the minis didn’t disappear but simply are not where you’re looking.

Minis now have a whole new home of their own in your Hero Window, like your weapon skins. Are they there? Are they in an individual character’s inventory/bags? Keep in mind they don’t move on their own, so you’ll want to check around.

Here’s a suggestion: Check each and every character (because the char may have been displaying the mini), each and every bag/briefcase/bookshelf/storage device , and then each and every tab of your Bank, particularly the Collectibles tab. Minis you had previously stored in Collectibles are still there and need to be taken out before they can be account bound in the Mini Collection window.

Consider, too, if you may have deleted a character that had a mini in inventory. Those minis, just like any other items on a character, do go away upon deletion.

I rarely post on gw2 forums because I have alot of patience with the bugs and other broken stuff in gw2, I just shrug and move on, this would be my 2nd post after 2 years of playing.

No Gaile, there’s another bug in which achievements for the new mini’s collection set isnt adding up the same as with the old achievement of minis collection.

Take note, I have the minis for collection 1, 2 and 3 for the old achievement. I did not sell them since i really collected them. I took each and every mini from my bank and put it on my inventory, right click each one by one and chose “add to collection”

At first it counted well, 1 2 3 4 5 etc.. then after that, I am missing 2 to 3 minis from my set 1. Missing 4 minis from my set 2. My set 3 is unaffected by this bug tho. Some minis did not register. My minis are inside the wardrobe yes, BUT i cant put another duplicate of them just for the achievement count that I’m missing.

Seriously, kindly check and fix the bugs. I’ve seen alot of forum posts about this one.
I already sent a ticket for the first time in game and I know it wont see the light of day, thats why I took the forums already for the 2nd time after 2 years.

This big patch has alot of crazy bugs and broken stuff, don’t let it be the end of our favorite MMO (when majority of people are kittened off with the bugs, glitches and balance issues, it spells “the end”)
