Guild Wars 2

I use it all the times, its really great but all gyros could use a speed buff F1 is really great.

But I wont argue for some buffs

StickerHappy.8052:

Guardians have NO SUSTAIN?

have you watched arken 2v1 a point with berserker ammy?

f3, f2, Renewed Focus, Shelter, Blocks, etc. = no sustain?

NO Mobility? Symbol of Swiftness = 16 seconds of AoE Swiftness?

I am not saying guardians are in a good spot for all the unjustified nerfs they got, but cmon..

This looks good on paper, but did you actually try it in wvw or pvp? I don’t think so.
I moved on from my Guard to Scrapper cause that thing is what Guardian supposed to be, versatile, deadly and survivable. Why is that? Cause I can use runes what I like and not Traveler(or speed) on every build.

Scrapper is not poweful like allmighty berserker now. But it is very well balanced and counter almost all classes like all classes should counter him.

OP classes: druid, herald, dd, *BERSERKER, all condition builds (wvw and pvp)
Normal(fairly balanced): Reaper, Scrapper, Chrono, Tempest.
UP: DH, all base specs – excluding condition.

berserker is 1st pick in wvw roaming cause it can solo everything with full hp.
*all condi builds need to be toned down
***separate all 3 modes to balance properly

With engi hammer you can solo much everything with HP not dropping below 95%.

Trapper guard? Haha I beat them with my Scrapper, Reaper, Herald and Chrono easily. Even normal DH die after he uses all his blocks and invul’s.

Playing Scrapper now cause it can beat all classes easily except some condi builds and berserker.

“The performance of HoT was not as expected. We learnt the lesson. A second expansion is in work and will be released as soon as possible.”

Make new expansion ELONA for 45€ , new elites new infinite grinding no rewards, 5 maps, no extra slot,1 armor for heavy,medium,light, gem shop weekly updates.

“The performance of ELONA was not as expected. We learnt the lesson. A third expansion is in work and will be released as soon as possible.”

…

:D

Balance suggestion → nerf it hard.

Srry but now everyone and their mother uses berserker in wvw cause of hp regen and insane burst.

phokus.8934:

To add…

Renewed Focus needs to recharge the Virtues on activation and not at the end.
Symbol of Energy – fire field – please, stop with the light fields
Shouts – heal by default; 1200 base
Skills that make you stationary – get rid of it; I’d rather see a decrease in movement then staying still as a sitting target
Shield 5 – turn it into a reflect instead of absorb

I think I can go on but I’ll save myself the hassle and just wait until next week to see what changes they bring to DH/Guardian.

I expect some nerfs and big ones Warrior was worst elite spec and now is the best We are saddly in last spot called “good spot”.

Hooglese.4860:

Dragonhunter:
This ones easy. Just buff core virtues/increase DH virtue cooldowns.

Berserker:
I really don’t want to nerf war since it just became moderately viable, but it shouldn’t be hard. Remove core bursts when you have berserker, only allow primal. To compensate for this core one should be made slightly better and berserker mode would be made easier to use (less adrenaline).

I really want these to be balanced, especially the elite specs that do nothing but add to the profession.

DH is bad in pvp mediocre in wvw.
Berserker is most used class now cause it is OP as hell.

Problem with guardian is that you MUST choose:

Valor – 2-2-2
Virtues 2-2-3
DH – 1-1-2

There are NO alternatives to those 3 trait lines if you want to live long enough.

Also for Marauder. There are no alternatives to it.

There are just no other builds than medi trapper that survives and do damage. Guardians are just one build class cause we are in a good spot.

mesmer condi and berserker – 2 classes that are 3 tiers above everything else. DD is next in line while all others are behind.

Saiyan.1704:

What absulutely needs to happen.

• Wings of Resolve: Better synergy with Absolute Resolution, removing conditions before the leap.
• Virtue of Corage: Better synergy with Indomitable Courage, giving instant stability.

If DH is selfish, why are we prioritizing AoE heals in a group as if we’re meant to leap there to support? We absolutely need these two changes for an active counter against other class’s playstyles.

You’ve seen in livestreams how they play classes. They balance stuff by their skills not our skills so we now have classes that are 2 tiers better than other, saddly guardian is 3 tiers away from being a good class sitting in their favourite “Good spot” with no friends to play.

And I forgot to mention…there is 1 bug. Annoying one.

If you have 1 stack of stability (given by your longbow attacks) when someone stun, fear or whatever take that stability or aegis of you why does Hunter’s determination activate?It should activate when you don’t have aegis or stability.

Can I haz your goldz?

After trying almost all elite spec this balance is just suggestion for guardians:

- Decrease cooldowns of Shield of Courage to 30 sec but decreasing duration by 1 sec.
- Wings of resolve – evade for 0.5 sec or stability for 0.5 sec upon activation.
- Increase all symbol radius to 260 (just look at scrappers lightning field radius)
- Increase meditation fury boon to 8 sec.
- Greatsword final autoattack gives 3 Might – guardian is only class that cannot stack might easy as others.
- Sword 2# blind and imobilize for 1.5 sec, 3# works as greatsword WW attack – that means you can move while casting but with lower speed.
- Mace 3# grant protection if struck.
- Hammer final autoattack cast to 3/4 and symbol does not pulse protection it gives instant 1 sec protection and symbol gives retalation, 2# increased radius to 300 but only affect 3 ppl, 3# instead of immobilize it actually pulls your foe to you and burn them for 3 sec and cripple for 1.5 sec, #4 cast time 3/4, #5 can cast while moving.
- Staff 2# when you hit target it explode and heals allies around that target
- Scepter 2# smite is a symbol now
- Focus 4# pulses aoe blind for 3 sec every 1 sec
- Shield 4# removing (or destroying) 2 boons from enemy
- Torch 5# aoe 5 pulses instead of 9 breathing pulses

- Passive trait – If you have aegis on yourself increase movement speed for 25%.

Hope this helps.

We have seen skills from pvp balance team in livestreams and skills in balancing this game. Saddly nothing will change.

I thnk yu are rigt bout spirt weapons and thy need to be chnged, overal gurdian need serios revamp. cheers.

I know solution of this problem, simply put their health to 11k base like thieves elementalists and guardians. So be a glass cannon but die quickly. Or be a tanky one with 18k hp and don’t do 15k undodgable eviscerate.

Only problem with ele staff is when they cast meteor shower they can interrupt it and meteor shower still drops for full duration.

Warriors are now meta in WvW. Their high dmg coef combined with high heal coef make them unstoppable. They can do 30k dmg in 3 sec and still heal 20k HP in 10 sec.

More OP class are only Thieves there.

Their balance team have no clue. (We’ve seen how bad are they at some livestreams)

Guardian is in a good spot

If you can dodge dmg they should give more anti condi stuff. More resistance and more condi cleanses to all.

phokus.8934:

Ragnarox.9601:

Just delete Confusion dot and everything will be fine. Something like they did with Reaper chill dmg.

I’m assuming sarcasm but you realize that Confusion is the whole idea around (condition) Mesmer, right?

Its not sarcasm, condi mesmer can easily give 16 stacks of confusion at someone dealing 2k+ dmg per tick. And dont forget perma stealth + tankiness. Dont forget confusion also damages you while you attack.

So…

Lets imagine guardian have retalation stackable with 15 stack of retalation doing 2k dmg on every enemy’s attack. nerf? yea ppl will shout nerf bigtime.

Just delete Confusion dot and everything will be fine. Something like they did with Reaper chill dmg.

I can outrun a centaur.

Ok video. but…
you can use variety of weapons and do kitten tons of dmg in Eotm. Try that with full geared 80lv ppl, they gonna rekt you :P

Their healing per second is insane….so broken.

Too many precursors dropping lately Someone put 5% instead if 0.005%.

Come to the revenant side, we have interesting things plus we give boons better:)

Are there any viable builds in wvw roaming?…Pls share some suggestions or experiences.

I am playing herald…its amazing. Guardians just run away from me in panic

Guardian is outdated, go rev.

I made myself Herald because of too many proofs of heroics and I must say….that thing….is a BEAST. I switched all my ascended gear from my guardian to that BEAST. So RIP guardian for now.

Razor.9872:

…snip…

7500 on a plain mob? hahaha try this in a pvp and wvw environment and be lucky if you crit for 3k now.

My Herald doing 12k with sw #3 in pve and 8k in wvw.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

…snip…

Srry man but game now feels more rewarding so ppl will play more, thats Anets goal.

If you are market flipper or manipulator I feel bad for you (not really) but 95% of players are satisfied with this.

Farm something else and adapt.

Still broken tho.

My new Dragonhunter

Aeolus.3615:

King Cephalopod.7942:

Hm. I don’t want to glass DPS so I don’t use dragonhunter, but not only did they nerf dragonhunter burst (again), they didn’t noticeably buff support/healing. I mean, I guess they didn’t nerf hammer so it isn’t all bad? Maybe next round they’ll make Pure of Voice turn 2 conditions into boons.

Expect nerf on next update, Anet wont quit until every guardian/Dh plays traps and say “OMG trap is so pro gamming!” even if they dont work well against player with a normal Qi.

The best way to not fix a design issue is to force players embrace what is broken or bad designed.

Well they forced me to embrace Black desert online. My heart goes to Valkyrie there. See ya laterz untill they fix Guardians/DH.

so much hype and 90% stuff still broken xD

dude we got 80lv token, just in time to change class. lets leave guardians to die so they can buff useless shouts again in 2017.

Cause…we have been officially KARLIFIED

Salamander.2504:

I don’t know what else to tell you man. True shot is a ranged (and rooted) 2.5 dmg coefficient attack on a 4s CD. It’s over 66% more efficient DPS than ranger’s (long channeled) rapid fire. Also, share with me your logic that you feel Hunter’s Ward shouldn’t be dodgeable?

Cause you dont know that’s the problem, you dont know anything. Saying that Hammer was good year ago does not justify lb2 nerf. You cant compare 1 shot while rooted to rapid fire channeled while walking at all. Its unrealistic just like comparing LB range to melee MB. And You didn’t even read what I said before about LB5 right? Guess you are just flaming.

Salamander.2504:

Before the June 23rd patch hammer was the most popular weapon since Tage went medi-hammer. Hard to say it’s useless—it used to be meta before the powercreep.

That was almost a year ago…..you are serious right? I mean…right?

Salamander.2504:

The last hit in HW needed to be dodgeable, and True shot had a damage coefficient that was 43% higher than mighty blow’s. I’m not fishing for anything—those things needed a nerf.

Okaaaaay so why does nobody use Hammer? You compare useless weapon that nobody use to weapon that had slight chance in pvp. Guess you dont know anything about game balance.

We are in a good spot hype train…..wreck

Good changes? really?

Herald not nerfed
Reaper buffed
Mesmer/Chrono buffed

Scrappers nerfed (they needed it)

but why DH nerf…they are worse than Warriors now. I understand lb#5 changes cause it was needed but LB2 , seriously? And you buffed shouts? Again seriously??

While having worse sword skills and worse hammer skills.

Time to switch to revenant/herald.

rocket charge does 3 attacks instead of 2

It does not give lightning field nor superspeed while destroying gyros.

Destroying gyros with Final Salvo trait does not give superspeed and Lightning field at all.

Anyone with this same problems?

What did you expect we are in a good spot, while Revenant/Herald , Reaper and Chrono got buffs slam down guardians cause they need to be worse than Warriors right now heck they even destroyed Scrappers too.
