i understand guardian isnt a ranged class. i was just stating that i wish it was a little better option to a ranged weapon. so that in dungeon fights that require ranged weapons, i can hit the target without missing. i like the idea of a plate wearer using magical ranged spells/ weapons
Like i said ive been trying to catch up in the lore. from what i have read the forgotten are the oldest race in tyria right? and i remember something about the unseen having great magical powers. are these two related? (im trying to get the magical powers straight)
maybe the unseen (mursaat) were related to the slyvari due to the fact that the temple of the unseen is the slyvari starting area.
This is one of the main reasons why i stopped playing my Guard. I kept going into dungeons trying to melee the bosses, but kept dying. so then i realized i needed ranged. i used a staff and just hated it. i used a scepter and it was ok, but it missed wayyyyy to much. That is what made me switch to a engi.
Finally now im coming back to guardian, because i love the heavy armor. But im scared that i will learn to hate this class again, due to the lack of range.
I think something needes to be changed with this, they can make it slow as they want but i just want to hit my target.
Healthy tip, do some background looking around before saying anything helps to avoid this same topic coming up over 10 times. Now the pale tree isn’t an elder dragon because of 2 reasons. 1. It’s less then 300 years old being planted during guild wars 1. 2. There are other pale trees and the sylvari’s default nature isn’t evil so much a chaotic good(not being purely good but having morals even without the dream given the sylvari we meet who is from the other pale tree.)
I tired to look up multiple things, im just getting into the lore part of the game. so you can say that i am a “noob” at lore.
My question to you is, what makes them immune to the dragons corruption?
one can see there are many strong arguments for the pale tree to be a dragon. She or it, shows traits in which it could be a dragon. Or it could be an immune system against the dragons. this would explain how the slyvari are immune to the corruption of dragons. But then, on the other hand, there is dragons minions that are already corrupt so they cannot be corrupt again.
We know of 5 dragons. But there is a 6th one. Mordremoth. There are examples of CoE, a skill called Teeth of Mordremoth. And of a game creator answering a question and “slipping” using the name of the dragon, Mordremoth. (sorry i dont have a source for that.)
My question to you is: What and who are the Slyvari? Are there any other examples of them in previous history? And do you think Slyvari are created to be good, or to be evil (Nightmare court).
I currently have an 80 engi with that race. The reason why i made that is because they are the least played race and profession combo. it doesnt really make sense to have a sylvari engineer and that is why i play one. the most sense would be to make a charr engineer that is iron legion. Having a sylvari engineer, i kinda dont like it since i think the whole lore with them is kinda weird and quite frankly (excuse me) “homosexual”. that isnt ment to offend anyone, it is just how i feel. i also chose this race because of the unique looking armor. but when you are used to it, the armor tends to all look the same. Now that i look back on it, i think i still would have made a sylvari. the humans are too main stream, i hate the asura, the norn or too big, and the charr look weird with some armor models with their head.
basically i like and dislike sylvari. i hope i have confused you even more because i also have confused myself.
