Guild Wars 2

If Im roaming, Im going camp to camp, so sword will always be on me

its funny how range type classes can kite you but rangers are still easy kills as medi

Aoko.3562:

Vikkela.7261:

If you go Meditation in WvW you will need to choose either Traveler/Speed Runes, Moa Feathers or a Scepter…
Don’t want Traveler/Speed Runes? Use Moa feathers or wield a Scepter. Don’t want to wield A scepter? Use Moa feathers or Traveler/Speed Runes etc etc, it’s a vicious circle. Otherwise you’ll end up in situation where you’re just walking after a guy kiting you eating his attacks watching your own heals and meditations go on cooldowns while he will barely be using anything beside his autoattack

Melandru Runes combined with Lemongrass food just works wonders against all these condition builds, but just don’t forget to dig out that mobility from somewhere

Yeah, that’s what I figured. I was just thinking of GS+Sword/whatever for 3 blink pressure. I don’t mind scepter, I used to run it on my old build, so I may pick it up again to see how that works.

Blinks dont matter, w/o a soft cc they disengage and kite you.

Traveler’s.

/thread

strength in number is a garbage trait

only justice virtue should be used/spammed, courage/resolve are more oh @#$% buttons and should honestly never be used unless absolutely needed.

Medi gets boring

Would like more spirit buffs, they’re amazing in spvp 1v1 but I cant use them in open-world or roaming because they arent permanently up like necro pets.

Harbinger.8637:

The way I see it, there’s going to be a lot of fotm players playing med guard to see how it goes. After playing for a bit they realize med guard isn’t as great and easy to play as people make it out to be. Sure it counters some professions and builds very well, but it also has a lot of hard counters too. So they go back to playing whatever easy fotm faceroll builds they where playing before.

that gets confusing to say flavor of the month when this game has fractal of the mist.

Yes medi is a useless PvE build (good for solo though, even WvW solo)

but medi is shut down so hard by people who can kite.

Kay.

Mesmer/Engi still kill guards even with the extra 2k heal every 90s

the light field spam is annoying in dungeons/fractals

honestly only equip hammer in cliffside trash or spvp or zerging wvw

I’ve never been okay with shield

I would put people who defend its current state as loss to insanity. Every time I see a guard with a shield, I go “Hey, free kill”

Or you can go 0 armor and be just as good pokes vid

Just go symbol build, protection spam is just as good.

Rangers/Eles have better group healing.

Unkillable builds are shutdown by players with perma-poison, like necros or even a decent thief that doesn’t kill himself through retaliation/burn.

You only need 2700 for cap.

my guard has 2708.

Probably this one, but I’ve dropped the back item for Balthazar’s

There’s no room for it

you need purity for the condi meta
smite is the lowest cd medi for sustain

it would be MI vs. JI… an on demand gap closer that stun breaks is superior.

Make a mesmer/engi, faceroll guardians.

These are targeted at currently non-viable traits because other traits are superior.

You can’t use elite focus because of absolute resolution.
You can’t use battle presence/force of will because of pure of voice.
You can’t use glacial heart because Valor is not a symbol line.

and so on.

2. Shield of Absorption: Heals instantly, denotation removed, duration increased to 5 seconds, up from 4 seconds. Recharge reduced to 30 seconds, down from 40 seconds.

Or make it so they don’t despawn, so they can be like MM Necros

And add a spirit staff elite.

It should of been built into the tome, not a trait. When I first saw it I was happy, then it said its attached to the elite focus trait where Absolute resolution is, so its unviable to use it at all.

I will run it in my spirit build cause spirit build is for lulz.

You don’t, they stall you out until on of you gets reinforcement.

1. WvW Improvements
2. sPvP game-modes additions
3. More Dungeons

Why is this a problem?

1. WvW team left
2. sPvP manager left
3. Dungeon team left

D/D ele is a stall vs. medi

Depends on who makes the first mistake or gets reinforcement

You hates fotm, the only endgame you have outside of WvW/sPvP?

spvp warrior is so much nicer for 1v1.
solo-roam guardians are better cause they can clear camps faster.
bunker builds are awful, you rely so heavily on your team to win the game; one perma-poison thief/necro nullifies you out.

key, you do realize we hard counter rangers/thieves

would like to see engis and PU mesmers

I went back to warcraft, even though I quit that game in 2009.

thanks alot anet.

I think its funny they had time to make a long quest chain for an ascended backpiece in this LS that could of worked just as well with precursors.

tomes need perma stability to make them at all viable

I used to run tomes with lyssa rune (stability on elite and full condi cleanse), but the nerfed to the rune made the tomes worthless

I sent a ticket too.

SAB is all I wanted and its been a full YEAR now and nothing, and I don’t agree with that decision.

to whom are you referring too?

Either let me do my achievements on the first run through or let me skip all dialogue when going back through the story for achievements, I don’t need this kind of wasteful time.

warriors dont run that signet, since it means dropping something outside of zerker, balance, and signet of stamina. Usually full signet is a condi warrior

its easy to get in there because the air aspect are placed beside the wall

Anet logic.

1. Normal Boss, decent loot
2. Make boss harder, same loot
3. Boss is ignored/skipped
4. do nothing
5. forget it exists
6. ???
7. Profit

they both suck in dungeons/fractals

the light field ruins it for everyone, ESPECIALLY if you have an ele

lol.

Bunker OP? try again.

Guardian/Warrior – NA

Only need hammer for cliffside trash

Never use disclaimers. You can monetize but you need personal contributions to it, cant just record a video from the game and then just post it. Either add a voiceover description or music.

Scepter is a dueling build medi
hammer/staff/shield are not medi

yes you have binding blade but the knockdown is short duration

preferred instance…. I hate open world content because people are terrible

medi guard has no cc

Yeah this is driving me insane, it’s been almost a year and its still not back

anet plz T_T

Bunker relies heavily on your teammates to do well, likle you can’t even carry your team with that build. And anyone running a perma poison build (thief/Necro) will shut you down no problem.

Your other option is dps-medi but you won’t survive 1v3, but you can carry (went 20-5)

The Health one is an addon, shows everyones health

Soldier = WvW
Knights for defensive then switch to berzerker once you feel comfortable with the class.

Don’t build condition it doesnt work with this class.

Ironically I got it after making this thread

Aza.2105:

Charak.9761:

mobs scale by 25% per nearby person

so if your dps is 50% less, that’s pretty hefty

Yea but its theoretical. There is a lot of numbers but they don’t take into consideration other variables. So its hard to know how big of a difference there would be between one party member wearing pvt vs zerk.

there are addons that show actual health of players/mobs
