Guild Wars 2

They are also becoming jerks and making their whispers HUGE

I think the idea was that it wasnt supposed to be easily unlocked on a new character.

then this game ends up locking in its current players and turns away new ones, that’s not a healthy design.

Not really, one of the complaints people had was that you just get given everything so quickly that you don’t feel a sense of progression.

That’s the other side of things, this game doesn’t give players progression, most of everything can be achieved via gold, that’s why gold sellers are so rampant and why SAB, imo, their ‘best’ feature (TM skill based skins)

armour only if you do fractals or gold to burn

Weapons ARE worth it though

As a guardian main, I’m in the same boat.

Guardians had 2 builds for pvp, burst and bunker

Burst was lowered and won’t out-sustain the new condi meta… bunkers do zero dmg leaving these guys to just bomb you like crazy.

foofad.5162:

Who is going to be regenning 900+ DPS from burning alone, exactly?

literally everyone.

its been confirmed by a dev that it was only ONE piece of armor and it’s a text bug.

pretty much why the rewards aren’t ‘fun’

Notice the one on the right is a bit off

People will out-regen your burn damage

which has put guards in a bad spot, either full burst or no-dmg bunker

SAB > any finisher

it just has more boom too it

delete your guardian.

arah p3 takes 15-20mins

what game are you guys playing…

Illusion of choice.

you get alot more points in your first 10 games

Then you lose ALOT of points if you lose to an inferior mmr team

That’s why I managed to get rank1 on patch day, then when I stopped playing I dropped to 13 over the pass couple of days

yeah they’re all wearing t3 (human, norn, asura)

Me

Cause #TeamYoloSwagMoney

I use my travelers

then use 2s stones over the 30s feathers

If you use 180 of these feathers, you paid for the price of the rune set

And when you’re roaming, you’re medi, and when you’re medi you’re not using staff/retreat

I made a set of Assassin stat Ascended armor a few weeks before they announced the change in crit damage.

I have all Ascended Zerker trinkets and Zerker weapons, but I don’t have a good sense of the current difference now between Zerker and Assassin.

Is anyone else in a similar situation?

its not worth trading power for crit

Assassins trades power for precision – the difference was very slight, but I’m not sure how it is now.

Power is worth 1 point
Crit is worth 0.6 points

in terms of dps

I tempted by ESO but after the whole swtor debacle, I don’t think mmos are a future plan.

I main a guard… this update gave us nothing and made pvp a condi nightmare.

Aidan Savage.2078:

Use them to level crafts from 450 to 475 and then trash them. Or just trash them. Simpler than asking anet to change how you obtain them, especially when you arent the last person to be finished with ascended crafting. In fact, I still have to craft 2 ascended light sets (god help me on the silk scraps), along with 4 more ascended weapons, possibly 5.

already have 500 professions

I’ll still auto-kick non-zerkers & rangers

are we just going to ignore the fact that all the Guardian ones are worthless?

I don’t need anymore of these, now they’re just piling up. Can’t trade them in, can’t exchange, can’t sell, can’t anything. I already made my ascended weapons/armour so these are useless to me now but everything rewards them, even the pvp track.

I didn’t know it was sellable until after I rushed through the track to get it and equipped it because I like the look of it.

Another non-prestige gold skin… ugh, why even.

2/5/6/0/1 medi build

increasing hp =/= harder content

if they shifted from 1-2min AA fights to 7min AA fights like MAW, the event is worthless.

guardians are not healers, the heal ratios are minimal

medi? kill all his minions then him

condi guards don’t work

you will use zerker 90% of the time here

then soldier with soldier runes if you want to join a wvw zergball

wants support classes? play ranger/ele/warrior

pve – zerker
wvw solo – zerker
spvp – zerker

wvw zergball – pvt

travelers

cough

until they fix light fields overriding fire fields in PvE, you need to stop it with the hammers.

There are people that the game marketing people like to call “whales”

These “whales” are the ones who throw down a ton of money on the games, way more than the average user. Maybe even something like $600 for just gimmicky skins. I know some people who have thrown $2k on this game.

In a micro transaction world, those are the type of people they are really after.

SAB is the only redeeming factor for the game atm, since it offers skins that aren’t gold-locked, TM skins are so much nicer cause its skill based

Hammer guardian 1 shotting any class is common check this lol…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfwB3Q0CUwY

What the heck? What build is he even using O_o?

2/5/6/0/1 medi, its how that build works, you can earn kills by quick-surprising your opponent like thieves, but if the burst fails than you’re basically trying to outsustain them.

looks like focus #5 and torch #4

iunno why people keep going back to, oh you could do perma prot… hammer builds are bad in pve.

Guardian ones need a re-vamp

come on.

To clarify, I’m playing dps guard, not warrior

its not a pet scaling, my spirit hammers can hit for 6500

Are you just noticing this now!? I run it all the time when you trait for them in spvp

Then create better game modes that support it, 5v5s can’t sustain

https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/soloarena

In any case a few problems:

-You need to bring back 8v8, 5v5 fill up to quickly so you end up with alot of full games in the browser and mostly just custom arenas (in which some will kick you, even though they should have password enable if that’s the case)

-Eles have a ton of regen at the moment, unless you run necro/engi/warrior you can’t win
-Engis condis are just every now, condition removal can’t save you
-Necro fears are just constantly up

-Remove the cap on daily hotjoin for reward track, arenas are not fun since the ques are much longer, some may take 10mins

-Allow option to block the new map, its bad, this game isn’t balanced for TDM, you need trinity to make it work.

-Reward track rewards were just awful. In the 12 hours it took to get to the end, I could of earned 100g but instead I made 5-10g, pretty disheartening, probably will abandon the rest of the tracks if not fixed.

nicknamenick.2437:

pls take a look to guardian hammer of wisdown

AA for almost 8k damage on my heavy warrior in pvp!

That actually fairly common, the hammer hits extremely hard. Also add in the fact that it benefits from might. However, nobody really uses Spirit Weapons that’s why most people don’t notice it.

that’s why running the occasional spirit build in spvp was so funny, they burst so hard

guardian spirit hammers have always hit hard

its just no one uses them

Eles are out of hand atm, to much regen to get thru

was wondering why people were making ranger teams

ele regen got overbuffed

you’re a fool if you wear these.
