Guild Wars 2

If you are so negativ over your class then reroll already. No point crying about it here!

I cant play without 15-20 points in honor. The heal on dodge is realy nice in both pve and pvp. But i dont stack +healing

I would rater have 50% less dmg and 50% faster attack speed

Maby not 50/50 since that wil scale bether with crit. Maby 50/35?!

Ayron.1850:

Maybe you guys aren’t geared enough, or just wrong builds. When it comes to gate defense, I will jump off the wall, into the crowd, throw down my combo, and run back inside. It puts down a lot of dps on a lot of people.. You can even stand on the inside of a gate with staff and autoattack pretty solid aoe damage to gate attackers.

Gear og builds realy dont mather when it comes down to 1vsZerg. So you jump down from the wall (maby take some fall dmg) and start your combo. So what is your combo? Greatsword 5-4-2-3? Your strategy rely on ONE thing. thats luck. Sure i have done this my self and sometimes i get back into the keep, but other times i die. If 3-10 ppl target you it realy dont mater what build or gear you have. If you can jump down into the zerg witout getting targeted time after time your the most lucky player i know of. It might work one time but most of the players dont just afk attack the door.

So true Svarty. We are the only class that dont have a ranged weapon. ( we have scepter and staff but they are so broke that its almost like we dont have any chooice).

Like mention alot in this thread – the skill 1 is just way to slow and so boring that i whant to log out and go to sleep and the skill 2 is just to small area on the aoe. I rarely get more then 4-6 hits of it.

This is from PvP/WvW, where we realy needed a ranged option. My lvl 6 ranger bring more keep defence then my lvl 62 Guardian. (not always i can play at prime time with friends/guildy/zerg you know)

But i do love this class to much to stop playing it, just hope they could tweak our ranged abilites abit to make it perfect

So last night i decided to do some WvW. Like always those kitten french players dominated everywhere, we had one tower close to our spawn point in our border. We where 15-20 ppl that defended it against a stupid zerg that didnt know what siege weapon was.

We hold that tower for 30 min before they gave up, my job was to roll around on the wall healing ppl from the server and placeing symbol of swiftness and line of warding just to be anoying. Also had my elite for a few sec every 180s. But the problem with Guardian elite is that when you defend you cant stand on the wall on the same spot for a long time, then you get focused down.

So most of the time i spendt rolling to heal other ranged players in the ranged war. Real fun

Wel.. on the scepter it realy only the 3. attack thats is ok.

Wel.. on the scepter it realy only the 3. attack thats is ok.Pick a weapon for a Immobilize on 20 sec CD feels wrong for me.

And might also work wel with Greatsword since GS 1 give might.

Easy fix. Change back the CD and make it so the GS symbol gives might instead of retaliation.

-Sing.

Or why not let us customize the layout of weapon slots? Problem solved. Cant understand why that is going to be a problem.

Lagz.9538:

Sylosi.6503:

How about in a game that is allegedly targeting skilled PvP, a boon that can be kept up a ridiculous amount of time that passively reflects damage back, is skilless.

And that perhaps if that in a game that is allegedly targeting balanced PvP, that having a certain class be far in the way the best point defender, when all the tPvP maps are based on point control is unbalanced, so adjustment was needed.

They should have went about it differently. They effectively killed GS dps when all they had to do was replace the retaliation on the GS with something else or remove it entirely. It’s not like we dont have other means of retaliation. This nerfed GS dps in PVE because of PVP complaints.

What did they do to kill our GS dmg? I dont get it, i must miss something. They gave us 5 shorter leap and nerfed our symbol. Did they change anything else?

Cernow.3974:

This is a really stupid and unwelcome change and I really can’t see the justification for any of it.

Secondly, the Greatsword nerf. Thanks for wrecking the Guardian’s one good weapon. It’s not like Guardians were dps powerhouses compared to some other classes, but the Greatsword did work well, it felt balanced and had good synergy. And now you’ve wrecked it, without making any much needed improvements elsewhere.

What nerf to the Greatsword? Did i miss something? Are you talking about the symbol CD?

i agree that this feels strange. This signet was one of my utility skills. Back to the drawing board now i guess.

Not sure if you acept my answer, but here it goes.

1) Wel it gives you longer time to finish your combo, it also trigger 7 times instead of 5. so thats another 77 x2 (+/-) hp for each group member walking over it.

So it all comes down to what you have to get rid of to get Writ of Persistence.

I run with Empowering might and two handed mastery. I find that bether due to more mighty blow (its our bread and butter) and i also run with 2 two handed weapons.

cant answer nr 2 since i havent tested it my self yet.

Think next class is going to be a heavy armor user. We have 3 cloth armor, 3 medium armor but only 2 heavy armor user

Was thinking of trying a burn build, have anyone tested this?

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNApdBlYgiDXGSNkCJ7hIdgKo9BBC/AGdVQhA;TgAg1Cuo4xwjgHLPOek8A

If someone have experience with this, how does it work in PvP and PvE? Im abit afraid that con remover is going to be abit to much since we only realy have one condition as guardian.

Brutaly.6257:

First of all, 5 points in radiance isnt bad at all.

Second you cant compare 5 points in radiance with consecrations, they do very different jobs.

since im a frontline charger 5 points in radiance is superior since it is an aoe blind on short cd. Fyi, i dont have only 5 points in radiance, it was an example.

I agree that they do diffrent jobs. But when it comes to 5 points in the radiance it comes down to the eye of the beholder. Yes bild is good, but im not going to agree that 28,5 sec CD is a short CD. Personly i dont think 5 points in radiance is not worth it alone. but thats my opinion.

Hello all.

My build apply alot of boon’s to group members, i have 40% increase boon duration.

So the question is: When i apply boon to a group mate with 0 % increase boon duration, is that boon going to get my 40% bonus??

The stats you get from placeing your skill points is realy only a bonus. Its no problem to make an offensive build with defensive skill point selection.

Trungalung:
For me its mainly going to play sPvP, WvW and some solo pvp.

I also think its superior in both PvE and PvP. Dont think that 5 points in randiance is worth it alone, you need to put another 10 points into it then.

I know that Wall of Reflect is good (tho i havent even tryed it yet) but i cant find room for in my build.

*stand your ground – my only CC protection
*hold the line – Self surv, self heal and group buff
*Purging flames – For dmg and combo that give might and heal.

So realy strugle to what i should get rid of for the wall of reflection :/ This is also the first time i run without a Condition remover utility, hope those 2 each 10 sec is going to be enough.

Going to miss smite Condition for sure. Good dmg and its so nice to use it for instant condition remover.

Thinking of going for 0,0,30,30,10.

Going for 10 points in virtues for the master of master of Cosencrations.

Purging flams can be used evry 32 sec and give me a 7,5 fire combo field. With mighty blow that wil give might to nearby allies that also is going to heal me. Anyone tryed this with a crit build?

So anyone use this? Is this worth it in any way? For me its seems like the CD on this ability is to high. The hammer have slow attack spead dont help it.

Glacial Heart – Crits with a hammer have 50% chance to chill your target for 4 seconds. This effect can only occur once every 45

never seen male or Charr doing this. anyone have pics?

lol.. ok!

lol.. ok!If you can faceroll 2-3 enemy they are a: lvl 2 bosted to 80. B: Afk or C: targeting somethingelse and ignore you.

lol.. ok!If you can faceroll 2-3 enemy they are a: lvl 2 bosted to 80. B: Afk or C: targeting somethingelse and ignore you.Since you are talking about capping points its clearly pvp you are talking about.

what level are you? Kinda hard to make a build when we dont know how many skill points or utility we have to play with

And fix the staff 2! Thats the most broken weapon skill we have atm.

Karew.2169:

Remember that it works for all Regeneration boons you create, too. I’m currently stacking healing power and boon duration, and it’s working out really well.

• Full Cleric’s armor, jewelry, and weapon
• 2x Superior Rune of Water
• 2x Superior Rune of the Monk
• 2x Major Rune of the Sanctuary (Superior gives Frozen duration, useless)
• 5 Radiance
• 5 Valor
• 30 Honor
• 30 Virtues

This gives me +70% boon duration and about 1200 healing power without temporary buffs. If you combine your passive Resolve with shouts or other effects that give you Swiftness, Protection, and Regeneration, you become incredibly hard to kill with around 14 seconds on Protection, 35 seconds of Regeneration, and 35 seconds of Swiftness. You also send these long buffs to your party as well.

are you 100% sure that your Boon duration effect the boons you give to your party members? Heard that boon duration only effect the boons on YOU.

@Raif
I’m at work at the moment (posted my screenshot over lunch) so I’ll have to make the list of gears for you when I get home. I’m using a mixture of knights and berserkers gear and using ruby, emerald, and beryl orbs in my armor. I basically mixed and matched pieces to get the stats that you see above. I completely ignore condition damage though.

The exact build that I use is this:
http://www.gw2db.com/skills/calc/guardian#7|0|3527|12641|2746|2445|4501|0|0|0|0|10|1828|0|0|30|2281|2175|1395|30|880|1400|2274|0|0|0|0|6|17|3|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|

I may change my utilities and switch around few traits depending on whether I’m using Greatsword or Hammer, but my trait allocations will always remain the same.

This is basically a modified “CritHammer” build that you’ll see people referring to. I love the synergy of this build because anytime that I crit, I will be giving my allies Might and also healing myself from Altruistic Healing. I also have a good amount of crit bonus damage, so my crits hit pretty hard.

First build i seen in a long time that dont have 5 points in Virtues. (not saying your build is bad)

I run with almost the same build, but i have 15 points in radiance and only 20 in honor. Thinking of trying to force 10 points into zeal for the 10% dmg to targets that are on fire, but not sure how im going to manage that.

For me its almost like i cant make a build without 30 valor and 20 honor :/

Do you have any + healing at all? I tend to go with some + healing since i have plenty of heals. healing work realy wel with selfless daring.

it might not be very much, but remember its free dmg. Most of us have some kind of Retaliation even if we dont spec for it.

dempend on your race. My Norn gets taken over by a ghost when i hit empower ^^

thinking of makeing a P/P build my self on engi. Need an “ranged” alt from my guardian.

What build would you guys recomend for a newbie engi?

Been playing abit whit a calc and whanted to try this:

10/30/10/20/0
http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#ccMz9VMmGg0Mmxg0axaG0Vcoboma

What do you think about this build?

@Trungalung.7850

That seems like a glasscannon build. Sure you got abit more HP from then a glasscannon build but you from the look of your stats it seemse like you have ignored toughness completly.

OP is planing to try WvW soon and there he is going to need some toughness, guardian is not the best class for a glass cannon build

Just my thoughs about the class.

Thanks for a good answer.

I have abit problem to decide if i should go for
0,15,30,20,5 http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#cccM0V9rfxGVmVoqcs
0,0,30,25,15. http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#cccM0V9fxpfoVqcsM

If i decide to go for 2 or more shouts it feels right to go for more points in virtues due to the 15% boon duration. But all in all it comes down to Retaliation. Do you remember how much that ticks at your power level? 20 points in Cirtue gives Virtue of retribution (gain retaliation when you activate a virtue for 3 sec) so thats 9 sec retaliation right there.

is larger symbol worth a skill in PvP? I havent tested it, and if i decide to go for it im going to loose 20% shout CD or my resolute healer.

Yeah i know that JI and smite not are the best for this build, but i love the JI to much to let it go and its a nice “ooh kitten” button (target an enemy that is far away and port out of trouble.

And yes, i do get in trouble sometimes Smite just feel “cool” and have a nice dmg.

you posted this in one of the first posts:
What stats to look for?
40-51%% crit
2800-3200 Attack

You still think its good to go for that “high” attack/power if you stack might? My version of the build stacks might realy good, and i heard that might stack bether with lower power. What is the cap for power btw?

pretty sure i didnt miss out of the heal since i was low on hp and shouted my voice off to get some heals ^^

You think shoutS is needed for this to work? Running staff/hammer build, but i struggle to get shouts into it.

I just love Judge’s Intervention to much to let it go, same with smite condition. I struggle between hold the line or retreat for the last skill.

Might go for hold the line since its a lower CD.

Il still get the heal on 2 symbols, 1 shout and when i crit. But is it enough?!

edit:
@High Marshal.2185
Not sure what you mean about fire shield but Judge’s Intervention is not a combo field

who cares? 90% of the players playing sPvP cares (random number).

2 teams that runs from point to point capping and recapping. just to get those points. Its not realy PvP anymore, more like a cap the point game.

So you get points for cap’ing points. I would like it more if you instead get points for defending it? Like 1 point each xx sec.

And take away or nerf the points getting for taking points. Maby only get 5 points for caping a point all in all.

So tired of the point raceing in sPvP. I know we have tourny but its not always i can do that.

So what do you guys think about this?

aah, that might explain it. That also make this build less intresting for sPvP (8vs8) for me. I need to be sure i get the heal when i “ask” for it.

I spec for heal to survive but i guess i need to give it more time before i decide. This build might work bether in 5vs5 when i know my team mates and we work as a team. But its not to often im able to do tourney :/

im useing the cleric amulet for the healing power. Trying a crit build now (around 44%). For some reason i never liked crit builds in mmo. Im more of a higher dmg instead of random bursts. What is the cap on power and other stats btw?

I guess its something else in this game, its almost to easy to get high crit chance, i see that you used to play a heavy power build and its like night and day? What do you mean with that?

But i also heard that its not realy that good to stack might when you have over 2k power. (post in this thread)

Anyone know if the runeset that give chance to burn and might have a CD?

When hit, does that mean that it triggers when i hit or when i get hit? If its when i hit then a faster attack speed weapon is going to be bether.

I realy whant to like sword as a guardian but i always break the skill 2 since i have to stand still for it to use it. (since the skillbuilder i used is down i dont have acssess to skill builder any longer at work, that was the only one that whent true the software block on my work)

So i decided to try a crithammer build a few runs in PvP today (8vs8).

I found a problem with the shout’s and buffs to my team. In 2 cases i didnt get any heals. Once it was me and a guardian guarding a point. I used my 3 shouts with a few seconds between ant not one heal.

Another time it was like 5 other on my team on the same point (real Zerg Vs Zerg) and again i poped shout without getting any heals. Anyone had this problem before? I checked my trait if they have been “greyed” out and they havent.

@brutaly:
The problem is that im not lvl 80 yet and therefor have some problem reaching the needed stats.

Is crithammer viable only at 80 or late 70?

is Sigil of energy still worth it after the patch?

•Updated Rune of the Adventurer and Sigil of Energy to each grant 25% endurance when activated.

you think this build is going to be viabel with only 20-25% crit and going for:

Superior Rune of the Citadel 4/6
(1): +25 Power
(2): +15% Fury duration
(3): +50 Power
(4): 5% chance to gain Fury for 30s when hit. (Cooldown: 60s)

and Inner Fire. Is that going to be enough fury proc chance?! Not lvl 80 yet so its kinda hard to get the stats to what it should be.

/Brutaly

Dont have accsess to my computer atm, reading and posting on my iphone and so much text is hard to read on a so small screen

How much do altruistic healing heal for for eatc tick, how much +healing power are you running and how often do you get it to tick? How much do it heal you each min in combat?

I use mace/focus and GS. I love mace and i get high numbers on mace 3

Do you have some fottage of this build?

Im running power / toughness / healing power since im playing with a meditation build.

Hello all. Decided to roll a warrior alt and i pretty new at warrior.

I come from Guardian sow the reason i whent for a warrior is that he is the only other melee class that have more then one heal.

I prefere a more of a hybrid play style so heres take 1 on my build, i like to call it a mighty shout build.

longbow – Sigil +5 dmg
Axe sigil +5 dmg / warhorn gain 3 stacks of might

Superior Rune of Strength 6/6
(1): +25 Power
(2): +20% Might Duration
(3): +50 Power.png Power
(4): 3% chance to gain Might for 20s when hit. (Cooldown: 5s)
(5): +90 Power
(6): +5% Damage while under the effects of Might

Amulte is atm Cleric with cleric Jewel
569 power , 569 toughness 798 healing power
Jewel: 125 healing 75 power 75 Toughness

That brings me to:
Power : 1825
Precision: 916
Thoughness: 1760
Vitality: 1231

HP: 21,5k hp
Healing Power: 1004

http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#McRm0zV0mRwa0mRwa0a0axGmMoRbck

This is an all purpouse build since i dont like to have one build for WvW, one for PvP and one for PvE, i am going to change a trait or 2 for WvW tho. Going for Longer longbow range for one.

I have no problem keeping might at 14 stacks during battle. so any input?
