A guardian can heal and keep alive the party.
No, they can’t. Most bosses can hit for >20% HP per second, so if a player just stands in front of the boss for the entire fight, without using any of his own defensive abilities, he’s going to die. No class in GW2 can out-heal damage from silver mobs on other players, let alone from bosses. In fact, I suspect that even 4 “healers” won’t be able to keep a single player alive in most situations, if that player doesn’t avoid damage and use his own self-heals.
the warrior dps can make the difference just by killing fast
So can any other class specced to have high DPS (grenade engineer, fire + earth elementalist, etc.). But no matter how high your DPS is, boss fights in GW2 take several minutes, and bosses can target and kill other players in seconds. Having high DPS isn’t going to prevent your teammates from taking damage.
the elementalist can even solo some parts of dungeons.
So can other classes. What kind of statement is that?
the necromancer will keep you always without conditions
When I play necro I rarely equip a single condition removal skill, unless I know the next encounter applies a lot of conditions (ex., swamp fractal). Guardians and elementalists are far more likely to have some form of condition removal.
the enginereer can surprise you with hundreds of tricks
That one sounds straight out of a marketing department (“What do engineers do? No idea. Just make up something generic about ‘tricks’, it’ll look good on the press release.”)
the ranger is the best rezzer in the game, put double rez with the pet, use the spirit to instant rez people
And then another player gets downed while both your Nature’s Renewal and Search & Rescue are on cooldown, so you’re just the same as any other class, except you’re squishier and have no shield.
Also, the only way rangers can have stability is to equip Rampage as their elite, so very few rangers will have Spirit of Nature.
Thieves can stealth themselves and the downed player, ensuring they won’t even be targeted while reviving. That makes them the best revivers in most boss encounters.
thieves can also pull a single mob to kill him alone
The number of places where Scorpion Wire still works is extremely reduced. Also, not sure how that counts as “carrying the party”. What you’re describing is just a utility skill, and every class has several of those.
the mesmer can be awesome in expert hands, they can negate almost all dmg on the party if they are well used.
Get the best mesmer in GW2, put him in a PUG, now let’s see him “negate all damage on the party”. Good luck with that.
In a few words: If you say a class is less than other, you need learn to play.
If you say all classes have the same party support abilities, or that any class can consistently keep the rest of the party alive even when they make mistakes, you clearly need to play more. I suspect you’ve never even played half the classes you talk about.
Guardians and elementalists have the most party support abilities (as the posts on this thread demonstrate – if there was any doubt), but even they can’t fix other people’s mistakes again and again. GW2 has no taunts, very low team healing and pretty long cooldowns. Players have to rely on themselves for >80% of their healing and damage avoidance.
And if you’re just talking about soloing content when the rest of the party dies, then any class can do that (even classes with very few support abilities, like rangers). But that depends on the player, and how well he knows the encounter, not on the class itself.
As I said Im working on my 7th 80 (all exotic gear at least), so yes I know what Im talking about.
And yes all your wall of text resumes in: all depends on the player skill. So ANY class can carry a whole group if you know what are you doing
no mate, guards are better, with the players having the same skill

as trolls would say: “me gusta”
i, as a thief, if i get the vulnerability 3-6 stacks, it means i need to pop caltrops/blinding powder/sr/clusterbomb
but those ppl are really clueless….

- Capture territories (camps, towers, keeps, or castle)
i am not sure about the daily .but maybe capture 3 towers or 2 keep(s) or 1 castle for the monthly ?

imo just raise the revealed debuff to 5-6 seconds, and all will be fine
because ppl can be annoying/afk etc. and need to be kicked from party
also to troll them
I just had the worst run of my life.
Granted, this was the first time I was doing the dungeon, but CM Path 1 just ate my group alive. We didn’t even finish.
Firstly, we wiped repeatedly on Sure Shot. He just juggled us all individually until we all died. No way we could do that, so we skipped him. We kill the bomber and the stealthy lady. We wipe repeatedly on the room where you pull a thousand bandits. I don’t understand how you’re supposed to beat that part… None of us could AoE enough to take them out before they just beat us all down immediately. So we looked up the exploit, went up around the rocks, and to the final boss.
Frost kicked our kitten
I don’t get how you’re supposed to mitigate the damage he does with his frost. I could barely keep up CONSTANTLY using Super Elixir’s and Elixir R for cond removal and stamina regen. We tried everything we could think of from bursting him and ignoring his damage to kiting to… You name it. We just could not get him down even past half health.
What’s the trick? Is this boss impossible now that you can’t just waypoint back and zerg him to death?
We spent THREE HOURS trying to beat this run and just gave up.
i am glad that you are having fun doing the frost one
just melee it, you can’t go wrong.

the guys are right, we should be able to choose which parts of the daily to make, and which not to. For example i am not a crafting fan, but i like killing stuff…
every time i get the crafting one, i get angry
the revival one is even worse…
i also want to thank the game designers for a great game
(posted here, so i don’t open another topic)
yes, when ppl don’t complain (endless topics/posts), it means they are happy
to the OP: glad to hear that mate, you are right, GW2 is a great game where you can have some fun and not grinding endlessly for a good gear

i find these ideas funny. i should try too, and troll a few ppl
i don’t think it is against the rules to leave a party !
actually, unlimited infuses, just 250 ectoplasm each infusion !!

Also an entire, full, five man party can’t take down a simple ascalonian monk in AC.
Could you please elaborate ?
when you suck so much and your team too, it is time to emo quit and hope for a better team next time to carry you trough the dungeon
i think that is the explanation you seek
p.s. i am not specifically referring to you in this case

They can support you with shouts and have some nice banners (i play guardian mostly now so don’t know them really well.
But then again DPS with nice survivability is always good for meThe only supportish shout is “Shake It Off”, rest are dps (no one uses “Fear Me!”). The only decent banners are Banner of Discipline and War Banner, yet again mostly for dps.
Dude, what about the fact that my shouts heal (allies within range) for 5k every 14 seconds? AND give you all might and fury AND hit the dungeon boss with 10 stacks of vulnerability meaning 10% more damage… From everyone, so really the other shouts aren’t that uselss – Oh and coupled with my soldier runes i remove 4 conditions every 14 seconds too, thank me later squishy theif
And BEFORE you say i sacrifice DPS for this i have might stacking on crits and perma-fury meaning 68% crit chance, Can comfortably drop theives in both PvP and WvW – with 2 skills – Bolas -> 100 Blades = Dead squishy theif.
i am feeling depressed again …. any comment from a-net side ???
