Guardian DON’T do more damage than a warrior. If you know how use a warrior you can swap weapons and deal a very large amount of damage. More than a Guardian.
I’ve see a recent post where someone has calculated the dps of guardian and warrior. And the warrior can deal more damage.
If you play alone, or in spvp, or in a group *whit*out a warrior, you can see easy that a guardian can’t deal the same amount of damage of a warrior. The warrior can obtain 15+ stack of might just using elite, utility and finishers, and stay easy whit 15+ stack of might for all the time (expecially in spvp —> ham-bow build), give firefields that can be blasted easy and give 18+ stack of vulnerability to the enemy. All that using a DPS build.A DPS guardian can’t obtain might. Or can if you’re Not a full dps class. And can only give 9 stack of vulnerability (and only if you use sword+focus build). You can use the Staff to obtain might, but in a team fight or in a boss fight or in wvsw you stay whit a Staff for 9 seconds, reducing your dps by a lot.
Whit the same buffs/debuffs, a Guardian can deal a damage similar to the damage dealt by a warrior, but can’t deal more damage.
If you find a noob war that don’t know how to do a really good dps build and how to awap it’s weapons, a guardian can deal more damage. But if the war know how to play a guardian can’t deal more damage than a war.
A Guardian can deal 10k whit the GS skill 2, but a War can deal 9k whit evisherate (whitout traits). A Guardian can increase it’s damage whit the GS by 35% whit traits . The warrior can increase it’s axe damage by 30%+7% on eviscerate.
But the auto attack dps is better.
WITH. My number 1 pet peeve is people who spell WITH as WHIT.
I feel the other way, warriors feel just bland in PvE for me, as a guardian I’ve always got something i need to be on the look out for, do i need to place a WoR, do i need to place a SOTA, will i need stability here, or will protection be more beneficial for my group?
As a warrior, you just slot your skills and you’re done with it, very rarely do you need to change them up.
Why?
They were asbolutely garbage and incredibly easy to avoid.
What’s wrong with the price? Do you think it’s too much or not enough?
Target him, line up, charge, done.
They can always expand the map y’know, the map we have now can easily have more added onto it, and i don’t mean new zones added to what is visible, i mean the map actually expanded.
“I suck at something so instead of practicing and getting better, I’m going to give up fully on content on day one, content that is also available forever and involves little to any thought process on the actual jumping puzzle element.”
Looked at the OP’s past messages, all he does is complain.
Anet have stated that they are indeed working on a “fix” for the sword AA, but they have not told us any proximate time of implementation, not even a soon™. so don’t hold your breath.
Source?
For those wondering.
Oh i dunno.. Explosives, maybe?
Welcome to Guild Wars 2! The community is very helpful and I recommend you join an active guild as soon as you can to help you along the way.
There’s a stickied thread that offers advice to new players, with things you’ll wish you knew sooner, here’s a link:
All of those appearances are great, thanks! I’ll send a tip your way when I’m next in-game.
Just delete it, there’s no use for it being in your bank once you’ve unlocked the skin.
Hello. :-) I’m looking for a sort of steampunky set for my Asura Engineer.
I’m not fussed on the dyes particularly, but something that goes with the steampunk-ish feel, like brown hues and such would be cool! Show me what you think looks best though.
Also, i don’t know why people are bashing you for this thread, I think it’s a very nice idea!
It’s a shame you won’t post the build I’d love to see what traits and gear you’re taking because this build looks like something i would find a lot of fun.
Sorry, but if you think Warriors need more access to stability, you’re either very bad at playing one, or god awful at thinking up balance changes.
Warriors need things removed, not added.
Have you considered the staff zerker build for Ele? It doesn’t require much attunement switching and is the top damage dealer at the moment. You can pretty much just camp fire for most of a fight.
You my friend need to re-roll, I am 100% positive the devs will NEVER give you the option to delete your class mechanic.
What are you on about? He doesn’t want the class mechanic deleted, he wants camping in an attunement to be more viable, which is what Anet have already done with the fire trait line.

I’d rather have a +25% damage modifier if pet is inactive.
Longbow already has the potential to crit upwards of 4k+ from 1200+ Range in a zerker build, 25% more damage on top of that is stupid.
After giving dungeons another go today, things went much smoother, the only times in AC that i went down were due to human error and running into traps because i was decided to Ride the lightning at the wrong time, so things went much smoother.
Cheers for the advice and feedback guys, i appreciate it!

This is what i would run with, the Greatsword + Mainhand sword combo alongside warriors sprint makes you incredibly mobile, no need for swiftness imo.
Don’t bother with banners, they’ll just become a burden because while leveling you’ll constantly be picking them up and putting them back down, best to just go with signets and shake it off for the stun break if you need it.
I’ve put in what i feel are mandatory traits to take, everything else, just put wherever you feel like it.
I also put in some cheap food and potion just for the slight exp boost each time you kill a mob.
I shall give that a shot, thank you for the information.
After trying it out I’ll come back and report on how it did for me.
Pretty much all those i can enter at the moment, AC, CM & TA.
I was initially using a staff and started running with Scepter/Dagger, found it more fun and i felt like i was putting a bit more into the run with the might stacks, though with this, i started dying more due to being up-close and personal with the mobs.
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQJArIhMMre4zgPSgBAJYgJlaD is the build I’m currently using, the 1st utility slot is always something different, depending on whether i think I’ll need the extra defense or not, if not, i’ll just slot lightning hammer.
I forgot to mention that with most fights we’re doing the stack and cleave tactic that’s common in speed runs, though i make an effort to try and steer clear of that when i can, I still find myself getting downed just inbetween pulls before i even get a chance to react.
i personally LOVE the sword for the ranger, there’s only ONE problem i have with it, and it’s a pretty big one.
The auto attack can get you killed due to dodge not overriding its animation which NEEDS to change.
Hey everyone, recently I’ve been leveling an Ele and doing daily dungeons with guildies for the exp boosts, I’m sitting at level 62 at the moment, and i don’t know if it’s because of my level or not, but i get downed an awful lot, I’m used to playing a heavy armor class, so going down this much is new to me and I’m unsure if it’s something I’m doing wrong or if this is just normal for the Elementalist.
I’m also curious as to what people would recommend for utility skills in dungeons, I normally run with Ether Renewal, Ice bow and Arcane shield, but I’m curious if there’s any other better combos, as it seems when i get hit by a stun, I’m pretty much dead if my shield is on cooldown.
Regardless of the MMO you play, people will always find something to complain about, and very little to praise the developers on.
The vast amount of people you see complaining about said class are either:
1. Complaining due to being thoroughly wrecked by said class and are amazed that they couldn’t mash buttons and spam them down with their “uber mighty build” and cannot be bothered to learn how to counter it, so they complain.
2. Complaining due to being outshined by another class in an environment that, that class shines in, which they do not.
3. Complaining when they receive nerfs their class needs because (While it’s not clear with them behind the wheel because they’re bad) the class was too strong and needed to be toned down.
So long as you don’t have a squeaky voice or perv on girls, you’ll be fine i think.
I’m joking about the squeaky voice, puberty happens to everyone.
What if any class could use ANY weapon?
That greatsword you love on your warrior? What if you could use it on your Necromancer? How would you balance it?
Put it like this, if a Race change feature was really possible, and was ever going to happen, it would’ve happened by now because of the amount of money it would’ve raked in for them.
Because the way the game handles your race/character, it’s not going to happen.
inb4 moaning.
Mistakes happen and these things slip by more often than you would think.
Lol’d, people will really find anything to moan about in patch notes.
Oh no the waypoint cost you 2s… just spend 15 minutes in CoF and get 1g50s+, not hard.
This must be something exclusive to the American servers because i’ve never experienced this at all on the EU servers, and i’ve been playing since the 3 day headstart.
A suggestion i have is something that enables you to save gear sets and switch between them on the fly, of course the equipment will need to be in your bags in order to do this.
For example, i equip a full set of berserker equipment, I open up the new UI that could be displayed within the hero panel, and click “Save Loadout” i then give it a name, such as “Zerker Equipment” or something, this then saves that loadout as “Slot 1: [Name]”.
I then equip a set of clerics gear and save it as “Cleric Equipment”, this puts it in “Slot 2: [Name]”
Now if i want to switch between the two sets of gear, instead of having to manually double click each piece of equipment, i can simply double click the slot in the loadout section.
I hope i explained this to an extent that it makes sense.
Warrior is fine now? So you’re telling me 10.000 damage with a 10 second recharge time skill is perfectly acceptable?
You have a dodge key.
I’m coming back to try gw2 (and apparently timing it well if I’m going to be here for a new season) and have decided my first character is going to be a warrior.
I generally prefer soloing in games so I thought I’d try getting to endgame completely solo without spending a ton of time playing the auction house or anything.
I’d recommend to play the Warrior as second toon and start with another profession, because the Warrior’s effectivity and survivability is high dependant on at-level items, food and traits, especially in these days after the april patch and when you plan to solo a lot.
You’ll either need enough gold to buy items in the auction house or have high enough crafting skills in Jewelry, Chef, Armor and Weapon Smithing, that need enough crafting ressources to level up, you’ll again either have to buy in the ah or farm on your own.
For soloing purpose, farming ressources, karma and filling your bank slots better start with Mesmer, Engineer, Ranger or Necromancer.
I (and i’m sure many others) do not agree with anything this person has just said at all.
Warriors are one of the best classes for solo leveling, second to rangers because of their ability to rely heavily on their pet to tank damage.
Warriors come with the highest base pool in the game, alongside having the ability to be very mobile, wearing heavy armor and having a plethora of stuns and stun breaks,
The april 15th patch changed very little (that i can notice) in the way of leveling a warrior as i’m currently leveling a second and I’m having no troubles at all, I’ve not bought a single piece of gear from the TP other than current level blue weapons (which cost about 2s tops, not hard to make at all), and content is still incredibly easy, so easy that it got boring and i decided to level through EOTM and SPVP instead.
Giving extra bonuses if a dungeon is cleared in a certain time limit will homogenize people into playing zerker builds even more.. I really don’t understand your logic behind this.
This thread and some of the comments in it, got me thinking, what’s the most amount of damage an always applicable condition can do in the shortest time spam possible without being reliant on procs with internal cooldowns.
I came up with this.
The stealth attack from the pistol #1. With 25 stacks of sigil of corruption, not counting the might from the venoms or any other sources (but you can easily get 10+ stacks with this build) it’s sitting at 5.4k bleed damage with a 7 second duration and 5.7k poison damage over 17 seconds on the steal.
That does seem a bit crazy at first, but that’s just 2 conditions which can easily be removed and pretty much every build has at least one form of condition removal, so whether or not it’s OP simply determines whom you’re fighting.
I’m looking for a class to do dungeons/fractals with, but i can’t decide on which class i want to go with.
I’ve always got it in the back of my mind not to play a ranger, engineer or necromancer because the vast majority of people on the forums shun you for playing those classes in dungeons.
Which then leaves me with the Warrior, whom i find incredibly stale and boring, the guardian, who is just boring to look at with the blue everywhere, the mesmer and elementalist who are both a pain in the kitten to level, the thief who is just /equipsword&pistolspam3.
I’m after a class that is useful, but won’t go down fairly easily, is somewhat complex to play, but not TOO complex, i don’t want to have my max DPS rotation restricted to just “push 2 off cooldown then auto attack”.
I don’t mind the armor type of the class, and i honestly feel the elementalist is the class i’m after with the Might stacking build, whatever that may be, but i’m not sure, any suggestions/information/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys, following the recent trend of changes of the game has received, i’ve decided to come back and try it all out!
However, so much has changed since i last played, that instead of jumping on one of my current 80s, i’m going to re-learn the mechanics again as i play, thus i’ve chosen an elementalist as my starter class as they seem to have received some nice changes and are now pretty decent (from what i can gather from the forums)
However, the one thing i’m stumped on is the build.
I’ve never played an Elementalist before, and i have no idea how to do well with one, are they similar to the mesmer in that they start off rather cack and get better around the 40s?
What sort of build should i be going for while leveling to help make it as stress-free as possible? What weapon combos are the best? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
People are commenting about the axe #5 being weak in comparison to the Axe Auto attack, not factoring in that it gives added dps/utility depending on the combo field it’s used on as it’s a whirl finisher.
Honestly, don’t worry about “what’s best” just go with what you enjoy.
Oh, you’re right, we all forgot that 1 burn on 1 target from your 1 whirl finisher. Big whoop.
Wasn’t aware that burn was the only finisher.

Hey Everyone, I’m recently debating on returning to the game as I’ve been itching to play Guild wars 2 as a Ranger.
I’ve done some searching around the website (as you should before posting a thread) and I’ve noticed that the overall theme of the ranger has stayed the same since when i last played, in that most people seem to think they’re a sub par class that need some very big changes. With that said, I noticed the thread ANet posted for ways on which the community feel the Ranger could be improved, and it’s got a truck ton of replies, so it’s definitely something on their radar.
Now, here’s the thing holding me back from returning and playing a ranger, I don’t know how to build my character.
I’ve got a wealth of gold i can invest into my character (80+) So armor, sigils, etc, won’t be a problem.
Basically the playstyle i’m after is a PVE heavy, Large scale events, Dungeons, solo play, things like that, I’m not much of a PvPer, so anytimes i go into the mysts will just be for something a bit different, nothing I’m really concerned in being built for.
I don’t really like the feel of the Sword, people seem to praise it, but the way you jut all over the place and it locks you into animations with the #1 spam are very irritating for me, so If possible i’d like to steer clear of that weapon.
So! Can anyone provide some links or builds that i can give a read and look through that feel would fit what I’m after? Thanks!
It would be interesting and would help the builds that have no decent elite skill to use, but at the same time it could make some builds quite strong, for example a stun warrior with an additional stun/access to both condition & direct damage immunity while also gaining the stuns they would’ve normally received in the build, could be abused quite heavily.
No thank you, if you don’t like them, simply don’t do them, just because you aren’t fond of them doesn’t warrant a removal. Other people enjoy doing them, also the game doesn’t cater to your every whim.
Short answer? No.
Long answer? Definitely not.
So because YOU don’t like them, they should completely remove them from the game?
At the moment, i don’t appear to be too fond of you because of this arrogant thread, should they remove you as well?
I see Daecollo is back to making terrible suggestions.
I bought GW1 with the sole intention of gaining the HoM points when GW2 announced the HoM system, i got a dervish up to around level 16 before i just couldn’t handle it anymore, the game was dated compared to the more recent MMO’s, and i just couldn’t play it anymore.
Am i bothered that there are players who have rewards that i don’t? No, they earned them.
The only thing i am concerned about is the fact that these players have been boosted on the leaderboards in a completely different game, for something they did in the old one, that’s not how leaderboards work, and i’ve never heard of another game, be it an FPS, an RPG, an MMO, whatever, to have done this.
These players were granted Titles & Unique skins that players without these HoM achievements could get, so why on earth should they receive a boost on the leaderboards?
Leaderboards in Guild wars 2 should track the achievements done, IN Guild wars 2, not in Guild wars 1.
It seems the only people disagreeing are those who have a good chunk of these achievements and just want that free boost forward.
And to the people saying “Go get those achievements, nothings stopping you.”
Let’s see you try get 50/50 in a now dead game which took many people 5+ years when the game was still alive.
3 weapon sets would incredibly break the class, we’d be too strong in forms of mobility & CC.
I respect the amount of effort you put into this video, and this is (my opinion) but i just couldn’t find this enjoyable at all, it just seemed bland, every target you went up again seemed to be the sort of player you’d see with about 200 achievement points, i know they aren’t a representation of skill, but you know where I’m coming from.
Those 3 players on the tower were just abysmally bad, they just stood still, they didn’t move, dodge, or anything.. it’s almost as if the fight was set up by a bunch of terribly bad actors.
