Guild Wars 2

MercilessLemurs.7459:

Weakness on symbols would be crazy broken. Think about the hammer auto attack chain, it would basically dish out perma aoe weakness unless there was a cooldown. That coupled with perma protection = way to tanky.

~I agree, but I argue that one could simply walk out of the symbol which all veteran players will do anyways no? (I was thinking a 1 second weakness duration per pulse and with a condition ‘duration reduction’ pre-set one would really not have to worry no?) And maybe it’s my luck, but I always get ‘boon-stripped’

(These questions are based off of the ‘perma-regen crit-tank escapist warrior’, ‘perma-stealth blind-bot condi-crit escapist thief’ and ‘perma-tele condi-crit stealth escapist mesmer’ combat experience and boon strips)

~would a (1-3 second) ‘Cripple’ or (1 second) ‘Immobilize’ be too much on [Binding Blade]?

~would an ‘Evade’ be too much with [Leap Of Faith]?

~would having [Renewed Focus] affect ‘Utility Skills’ as well as ‘Virtues’ over-power a guardian?

~would having the damage from ‘Retaliation’ trigger the ‘Burn’ from ‘Virtue Of Justice’ passive effect over-power a guardian?

~would having ‘Symbols’ or a ‘Trait’ apply ‘Weakness’ over-power a guardian?

~shouldn’t the ‘Yarr’ shout from ‘Rune of the Privateer’ trigger ‘Pure Of Voice’ and remove the condition(s)?

(By all means, please post proper hows and whys…as opposed to sour opinions and comments)

~is there a reason why WvW ‘Camp Guards’ are so lethargic and naïve to the point of not needing to bother attempting to protect a camp>1 vs 3+?

~would having a barking watch dog (with a greater aggro-circle) to alert the AI and perhaps assist in fighting unbalance WvW and degrade immersion?

~should Dolyaks be able to defend themselves besides having escorts that just disappear when they die? Or have the escorts resurrect the Dolyaks if THEY don’t die?

Evalia.7103:

Wrong Forum, but a cripple is too much to ask(imho), would be too good on a GS combined with WW. Evade, I think, would be a nice addition. But overall, really, Guardian’s GS is not that weak.

Noted, but I don’t understand your meaning of TOO good and may I ask for the proper ‘Forum’ to have a GW2 discussion?

~Thanx, I want to say this is ‘lame’ but perhaps it’s not…

~I have a ‘Bloodlust Sigil’ on my guardian’s staff. I get my kills, get my stacks, I don’t die yet they disappear…

Is this a bug or intentional from a weapon swap or equipping?

Is this happening to anyone else?

~successfully completed ‘Crab Toss’ on Friday Jan. 10th. and was not awarded anything…I was present the whole time and participating.

Anyone else with this issue?

I understand 2 commendations may not be a big deal to most people , but can there be something done about this please? I really need to finish a gear-set for a build and move on with my life…

~Yea, after careful testing AH heals from CoP…I’m blind

Q20 Do boons that I receive through trait effects ( like the Retaliation you get from Wrathful Spirit ) count towards Altruistic Healing?
Yes! Generally any boons you receive ( specifically: boons which have a yellow icon, not those gained from passive effects like Strength In Numbers or Battle Presence ), >will trigger Altruistic Healing, not matter what their source<

(but not for ‘Contemplation Of Purity’?)

~why does ‘Contemplation of Purity’ not heal with ‘Altruistic Healing’ trait?

~would a 3-4 sec cripple be too much to ask for on ‘Binding Blade’?

~would ‘Evade’ be too much to ask for on ‘Leap Of Faith’?

~after consideration of my gripes, I’ve come to the conclusion to which truly chaps my butt and that’ll be ‘Immobilization’. Having this one condition easily available and ‘spammed’ with all classes and builds, to me appears to be the catalyst to most gripes, issues and misery when facing multiple opponents. I still feel ‘Torment’ should NOT be available for ‘melee classes’ and ‘Immobilize’ be replace entirely by stacks of ‘Cripple’ (a 10% Movement Reduction Per Stack~as in: 10 stacks=100% aka> ‘Immobilized’). Perhaps have ‘Crippling’ skills begin this process with 2-5 stacks applied per skill execution, depending on the class…
~ThanX for reading, now back to my misery…

~I agree, mainly to place gear on other ‘toons’ without having to invest a significant amount of time to ‘purchase’ another…
I regret to admit to the bad choices during my ‘education’ of the game for the sake of experimentation and care for some consolation for the irreversible investments…

~I agree a great-axe would be epic! The ‘Executioner Costume’ has one anyhow right? My only fear would be the facing it’s synergy with a ‘Hammer’ O.o!

~may I request a (>when out of combat only<) game modification to click premade weapon set icons, perhaps to the left area of the ‘weapon swap’ icon if a character has one? I feel this would take the ‘awkward open inventory, quickly focus your eyes to locate…too late your back in combat!’ method out of play especially for all PvP since we are able to during a match anyways and faced with the variety of opponent builds, I feel demands a faster adaption reaction to remain a contender, perhaps mitigate ‘OP’ build gripes as well as make a little more room in our inventory for future goodies and toys^^…anyone else feel this?
~ThanX

~Oh I see now, so it doesn’t matter what I do for match win as long as I’m selfish and pigging points! No more breaking off a cap points to go help at another location or ‘rez’ to secure a win for me. Thanks, I stand corrected…I’m glad I spoke up

~really ANET? Swapping people out during a match with a 200+++ point difference has GOT to be unfair/overlooked/ignored! Especially if and when certain players are putting in WORK and synergizing with strangers to EARN the lead then suddenly POOF >insta-lose<…(cough)…(crickets)…(lame)…
What is even the point for an ‘AUTOBALANCE’ at a 250+ point difference?
Why should WE invest any more time and energy in your video game if you keep undermining and/or dismissing OUR efforts??

~too many people are using the ‘tanky/condi’ spamming builds. I’m getting to the point to quit the game permanently because, for me, thats all there seems to be ~zergs of ‘condi-tanks’ with blind/stealth spamming thieves that hit too hard and just flee if losing while you melt…GG?
~Monotony…
May I request that ‘torment’ be eradicated from game or have it become ‘caster’ specific only and the other conditions be created/applied by skill ‘combination’ instead?
GG?

~nix the glass domes over the fighting rings as was in ‘Molten Facility’ end boss fight…I’m sure people would find it more fun and challenging falling off the edge… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mrls-OiVYs

~I’m for getting rid of the dome so it doesn’t complicate camera angle (maybe falling off the edge of the ring like in Molten Facility would be a fun exchange) and smoothing out the floor to see the AoE rings better…Tall Norn Gaurds are having it rough on Liadra
