I hate this kind of people too.

I once ran AC with PUGs, and this Warrior kept thinking he’s invincible. Come Kholer, every single time he gets downed (and he gets downed a lot), he’ll type “HEAL MEEEEEEEEEEE!”.

And he says “I’ll tank just HEAL MEEEEEEEE!!!”. Well, he’s a tank alright, he doesn’t dodge.

It’s annoying. I almost said L2P.

sorry to be party to this necro but this made me lmao… i swear i remember this exact same thing… or was there lots of players running around yelling Heal Me?!

this is why to be this thread sticky !!!

it has all the infos of what other classes should wait from guardians

Anet doesn’t care about WvW, It’s all about PvE and the gem store.

most of wvw players are finisher byers aka gem byers , so ,if this truth , i think someone hides the real economical incomings from the “boss”

and wvw is pvpve mode , but it has poor pve related to eotm

How about instead they come up with something similar to what the battles isles were, give us guild halls, and implement real gvg using those halls. One team defending, one team invading.

Then the people that to gvg can gvg. And the people that want to wvw can wvw. Tada, happiness all around

There are real problems with timing. Either you have problems with guilds ninja capping when everyone else is asleep, or you have problems with accommodating and synchronising two whole guilds play times.

GW2 guilds aren’t big enough for 24/7 coverage.

the game mode requirement creates the type of the guild .

with this as statement , the 500 slot that have most of the guilds is more than enough for 24/7 monitoring of an object in wvw .

nowdays , wvw guilds are suffering from population because they want certain type of players inside them and they exclude all other types of wvw players like roamers , scouters and siege / defend lovers and ofc all the pve players ( wrong approach ).

this situation makes them niche groups that are jailed in their “world” disconnected from the current wvw map and their server .

this is why the most wvw guilds have not a server as home and they are server wanderers moving from server to server to find new “kids on the block” to fill their roster.

ANET wanted this way , but i am sure in the near future we will see dramatic changes of wvw population ( in my server started 3 months ago ) and wvw guilds will have serious problems to find new “blood” for their niche groups .

i am still playing some times wvw , but only to test roaming builds . if i want to have real fun i prefer eotm because it has far better pve this map than the old wvw maps and i earn faster the valuable influence for my guild.

ANET thinks they can attract pve players in wvw with seasons 1, 2 ,3 … but they are wrong … without similar pve or pvp and personal or guild rewards and challenges this will never happen….

the guilds to remain strong need , politics, economy, domination and fame. wvw gvg youtube videos help anet to have presentation her game in social medias but are not helping the wvw / gvg guilds as many think …..

who from the new players knows votf, rg and vii ..etc ? eu is my region , and i don’t know nothing about NA wvw guilds . nobody and they will never read anything for them from this site …. this is why the wvw guilds are disbanding so often , even the better ( in fights ) gvg / wvw guilds from this niche scene .

maybe they will hear about x super x , because he is playing now in spvp tournament , but they will never hear anything about his guild that all are playing now wildstar …. includes him ….

and yes ,a new GvGvG type in the current wvw system will stop wvw bleeding to death , because it will has as result stronger and bigger wvw guilds , but … to the “deaf’s door” you can knocking all day without any response

front line guardian with 378 healing power is not front line guardian ……

i have hope , but i can not play with “it” . can someone help me ?

dear sam , obsidian map is a joke place for gvg (windmill was a joke place too ) ,because the gvg needs a score somewhere written and there is no any guild leaderboard to inform all the players who is the really good guild .

at least they can do the obsibian map overflow and with taxi you have all the times your enemies to fight , but again i will say it ….for how long you will be interested for a system where your actions are nowhere writen ? the “just for fun” is not helping guild advertisements and recruits .wvw guilds need politics, economy and …. domination …. to expand and stay alive !

i am waiting and many other players that already stopped GW2 the 400 vs 400 castle siege that will come in europe at the end of this year or the in the early of 2015 .and this siege will be real guild vs guild fight like the sieges i had 9 years ago in lionna ( L2 )

p.s. as for the “just for fun” … can someone explain me how fun is to play in large fights with these particle effects that you can see in the image below ?

Zypher.7609:

They gave 2 month notice that it would go away on July 1st, if they gave 1 extra week there would be people saying why did you only give 1 week. Because there are people traveling or abroad that have been gone for 2 months and 1 week. There is no good time to take it away, so what they do is give you a date when everything is going away if you are not able to make that time save the tokens and hope it comes back in the future.

so, if a npc remains to the people that missed some trades it is a very very big problem !!!

seriously the tactic in this game to remove the npc when the event is end in one of the most anti – gamer i have seen so far ….

p.s. the season 2 end too , but thank god forgot to remove the npc for exchange the rewards …. i hope they remove it soon to bring new storm

i can’t be angry because they are loosing money . they are failing to keep their gem buyers and i will never be angry with them.

maybe i was a bit angry when i realized their methods ( spies in guilds , followers just to learn our wvw secrets to fix what they forgot to close , wvw anet employees playing their game visible or not with us ) but most of all i was disappointed because they are spending so much human resources and money ( our money from gems ) to so stupid things and they leaved us with the same gold shrink-er laggy wvw maps for over 2 years .

i am not angry because they have no clue what they should be their alpha priorities , but just disappointed , because they left so much time to pass without any real change to the right way in wvw , in guilds , in gvg , in alliances , in particle effects , to satisfy all the type of wvw players and against real hackers and they didn’t act the right time.

the fail from the other new mmos saved the game until now , but for how long ?

p.s. before someone say that pve is good … check the living story forums and check how well is going the pve too. better no updates from the bad that have the pve … a whole patch just to bring living story management , a furstated jumping puzzle and an account bound armor for www commanders and only ?

what success !!!

JJBigs.8456:

Ok yes, guardian can technically heal others.

Why should i waste my own surviviability on others, when usually after spamming my virtues, i end up dying since i mis-timed a heal.

Everyone always expects me to buff them but really I need my heals for myself otherwise im not tanky.

What do you say to people who ask your guardian for heals constantly?

first of all all guardians are not the TANK class of the game …. WARRIORS are …. gw2 is not wow and guardians are not paladins . we offer BOONS not heals , but we have some skills / setups to play this role . ELES do better heals and can play this role because our primary healing skill is elite with 180 second recast time and they can use their weapon healing skills ( water ) all the time without stop ….

second , all heals that affect others , heals you as well …. so , stay in a roaming / dps setup and forget others

tldr . this is the same reason that i am not playing anymore dungeons with strangers with my guardian. all bad / lazy players think guardians will save them from their mistakes .

sorry guys ( the other classes ) , i offer now only my warrior and only for dungeons …. happy now ? ( i wanted to say it in public long long time )

in wvw i can play this role to support the melee train / havoc group , but i don’t think the OP is furstated because of wvw …

p.s. and yes the 6 skill is the same heal skill for every class

shield goes most with mace because mace is more close combat and static weapon and has also heals as mace or with scepter for range damage . sword has teleport and reflects that fit more with focus because 5 of focus is a shield that you can move and damage same time.

it is all about your style and how you want to play . if it is ok for you the sword /shield it is ok for everyone.

p.s. the shield 5 skill for roamers is ideal anti-stealth thief utility , because it knocks out them from their stealth

PlayerX.7138:

(If you’re coming in here to tell me that i should avoid DPS guardian and that support guardians are the only guardians..

nogoaway.)

I have a full zerker DPS guardian atm but some friends of mine and i have noticed that basically i gust of wind could completely destroy me. I have a nice build for DPS so that’s decent atleast but what i would like to ask is if i should instead of running full zerk. Have mixture of stats that it’ll increase my survivability while at the same time not lowering me DPS too much(I don’t need to be super uber tanky but i just need to not be the first one to die.)

I was thinking maybe i could do Assassins armor w/ Soilders trinkets and/or weapons but i’m open for any other combos. It also just might be a L2P problem from my end but i’m new to DPS guardians but not new to guardians in general

it is not the stats so much , but what attacks you have to deal . every boss and fight in pve is different and you must know what attacks they are doing .

for example . in pavilion the pyroxis doing fire chains and guardians + all other in the pt should use reflect skills , but bbb is doing condition damages and guardian should have high dps ( to kill fast the healing turret ) + remove conditions build to clean the conditions from all the pt .

so for pve fights learn first what attacks doing the boss and choose what utility + weapon / trait you need for every fight .

@ ok boss you are using shelter , i got it .

the only that i don’t understand so far , is …. what is the reason of this thread ?

To fix the other healing skills, IMO i dont use signet but traited signet isnt that bad and almost a good alternative to shelter.

This being the only 2 skills Guardian as for healing skill slot, others not being used or a totally disgrace.

for a healing guardian ( with cleric/celestial spec ) in zergs/melee train the healing breeze as supporting heal to the front liners is perfect , but it needs good player for maximum results ( the cone ) and no eles to be important.

med and antitoxin both have issues and need review but …. the title is not about our healing skills , but for resolve vs shelter that i think is perfect choice under many situations.

the game is not only dungeons or spvp , it has pve and wvw and the guardian setups are not only med spvp builds .

@ ok boss you are using shelter , i got it .

the only that i don’t understand so far , is …. what is the reason of this thread ?

Wrong question …. delete it please

i don’t see the problem with the places in sieges , speacial the last image inside lord room.

if you dont know OP the flame ram ti applies defense to allies and fear + fire condition + damage from condition on enemies . so it is very good siege for defense inside the fight .

one day i solo hold the southest camp against up to 4 enemies with 2 simple rams and 2 balistas for over 6 hours ….

if you want to be the only one that place sieges in a tower ask from anet the claim gives this ability on the guilds and only that have claimed the tower. this will be good to see what guild is a real wvw guild and not just blah …blah ….blah ….

Jeknar.6184:

You can cap a tower on EotM with 0 resistance.

p.s. sorry to say but this arena is not the proper arena. any team can cheat by putting guardians and in any party in a 1200 range and press f2 ,f3 when a player need more aegis , heals etc ….

UrMom.4205:

imo the food is not the only broken part on conditions .

the condition classes have access in their spam weapon attack skill ( the 1 key ) in both 2 damage attacks ( power + condition) . they can do straight damage + condition damage to their opponent , the same time where the power builds can do only straight attack.

All classes can technically do condition builds and also except for the guardian all classes have some sort of conditions on their auto attacks as well…

Ele
scepter – burning

Warrior
greatsword – vulnerability
rifle – bleed
mace – weakness
sword – bleed and cripple

Thief
dagger – poison
pistol – bleed
sword – cripple & weakness

Mesmer
staff – bleed, burning, & vulnerability
sword – vulnerability

Ranger
shortbow – bleed

Necromancer

Guardian

Reborn.2934:

my problem in this game as philosophy is that there is not any room for defense style .

the first who attack always is the winner . this logic followed in www and we are see now the whole wvw is in deny .

This is just false. My roaming playstyle is a very “bait and attack” sort of playstyle. I literally don’t open on any opponents (most of the time). I will be running along, see a player, and then change my path of travel and see if they will chase. I’ll then lure them away from traffic a tad and even take a few hits from them. Make them think i’m scared or just a zergling, then i’ll turn and fight. I have tons of fights that i’ve won where they attacked first, hell i’ve had tons i’ve won when i started attacking I had 75% health. So this “the first to attack always wins” garbage is just not true.

as i said before this post that you quoted ….

the problem is that that the defense from conditions is too weak now because they destroyed the cleansing bolts. , plus that the spam shots ( 1 key ) are not apply only conditions but damage the same time.

this is unfair for all other setups ( not only all guardians weapons ) because they are doing condition damage or cc effect + physical damage same time.

has anyone wonder why the melee train is very effective in zerg fights ? because the hammerstun from warriors doing a lot of damage too ……

the same situation we have in 1 vs 1 .most conditions or cc + physical damage = win

if they are not fix this problem the fights will never be balanced in gw2

my problem in this game as philosophy is that there is not any room for defense style .

the first who attack always is the winner . this logic followed in www and we are see now the whole wvw is in deny .

the same is happening now in 1 vs 1 in this thread . the faster killer is always the winner . this will drive soon the 1 vs 1 in gw2 in deny too.

Ragnar.4257:

….

Now, if you want to argue about stats, thats a completely different point. Sure, direct damage is mitigated by armour, while condi damage isn’t. However, condi damage is mitigated by condi cleanses, while direct damage isn’t.
Condition classes require less offensive stats, so can build tankier. However, this is (somewhat) justifiable when you consider that a condi player has to wait for their damage to tick down. If condi classes were required to be as glassy as power builds to achieve the same damage, nobody would play condi, because in that case the power build does the same damage in less time.

IMO the only truly broken part of conditions is the +40% food.

imo the food is not the only broken part on conditions .

the condition classes have access in their spam weapon attack skill ( the 1 key ) in both 2 damage attacks ( power + condition) . they can do straight damage + condition damage to their opponent , the same time where the power builds can do only straight attack.

this problem was balanced before the patch because the classes like guardians that have not conditions in their spam key ( 1 ) had access in cleansile bolts to remove the conditions . now they cant and they die from conditions easier.

the same problem is with hammer warriors. they are doing both stuns + damage the same time . if their opponent is not prepared with -stun duration rune/food is an easy killed opponent .

for me the problem will be fixed if they lower the power attack increase rate when condition attack is increasing after one number and vise versa ….

now , as a guardian i see more and more guardians trying to maximize their burning effect with runes/ sigils / foods and traits to have advantage in battle , because they know that the big secret in 1 vs 1 is to someone have big numbers in both main attacks ….

in power and in condition damage same time ….

if someone check all classes traits ( the trait is the really booster in stats consider weapon / armor) _ he will see that the power trait have second stat condition duration …. not the condition damage ( the second main attack ) and not precision or ferocity, the boosters of power.

banishing uplevel characters in eotm proves nothing …..

As much as one map would be nice, Anet has made it clear that LARGER maps are not possible with current technologies.

i guess they said in the past that they can not do megaservers too

all depends on current technology and how someone use it . technology in 2010 is different from this one on 2014 ….

this is a great tool for every wvw player/commander ,because players can scout a place without be there , but …. there is not anything like that in wvw .

why this fantastic tool is not implemented in wvw ?

i really want an answer on this question

we never give up in bump too

JonathanSharp.7094:

Just wanted to say thank you for being so constructive in this thread guys. We’re watching threads like this one, and we really find peaceful debates to be highly useful for us when gathering balance perception data.

We know food is an issue that definitely gets people passionate, so thank you for staying calm while voicing your opinions! I can’t make any promises on fixes, but I can say we’re debating this issue internally just like you guys are, and we use your points/counterpoints as reference in our discussions.

Thanks for being awesome!

an another BIG issue is that after the last major update , cleansing bolts are not removing any condition anymore….

i have reported in-game , did a thread in guardians forum , but nothing , even as answer …..

“The enemies greatly outnumber your forces, be careful out there!
+33% Experience
+20% Magic find
+25% World Experience
+1 hour siege timer and stop siege decay
Take no armor damage on death”

i love to play outnumbered at nights in our home border . because i am carrying about my server , i am wasting all of my time refreshing the sieges in our main keeps .

WHAT A GAME

Nick.6972:

Then you go PvE, grind enough gold and transfer.

or start other game ?

this what most of players do . most of players have not the transfer in their minds , special the players that have come from other games and know each other and if something is not satisfying them they choose an other way to escape from the problem.

style.6173:

Be careful what you guys wish for. We don’t need more EotM karma train maps.

karma trains exists because of the game mechanisms and not from the design of the map.

i will explain why .

karma trains exist because the defenders have nothing to win if they defend the objective. the rewards from defending are far less than the rewards from captures.

also , the claims in www and eotm have not any real meaning ( like fame ) and rewards ( like influence ) for guilds and most of the wvw and pve guilds , simple don’t care about objectives in wvw. this is a big mistake and makes the farming from massive zerg fights the only real option for all , and ofc they blob as hell.

also , there are many players ( most of them they are spending tons of gold for upgrades and sieges ) that are not satisfied at all with the logic of the home borders defense, because the north towers / garrison have the same defense as all objectives and anet made them easy for capturing .

be smart anet and redesign the map to satisfy ALL the types of players. if i was game designer , i will give waypoint in garrison all the times and i will change this upgrade with a night patrol upgrade … tons of 84 level NPC and a Real boss like lyssa ( that scales as hell against the blobs ) at night times ( and only ) of the server ….. if attackers fail to capture the gar and defeat lyssa, she will respawn in the middle of ruins area available for all available for one hour and respawn time 12 hours if nobody kills her to be killed in prime time of the server…. i think all can imagine what will happen when this boss appears and 3 servers meet each other in the middle of the map !!!

how long need this change ? less than month for sure and it will satisfy a lot of players , old and new , attackers and defenders . all love big chests loots .

ofc there are a lot of other changes that WvW community asked ( like better commander tag functionality , real gvg system , alliance system … ) but some small changes with great positive impact is that WvW needs now , even it is just big pve change . i prefer great pve and positive change than a bad pvp change right now in wvw.

WvW is your baby anet and it is the reason for a lot of people staying in game . carrying about it you will benefit in the future.

DevonCarver.5370:

….

All of those things being true, we absolutely want to make new maps for WvW and when we have them ready to talk about and show off, believe me we will. It’s very important to us that when we do release a new WvW map it is a clear example of what we think the ideal WvW map would be. That means we will test the heck out of it and do everything we can to make sure it is even more awesome than the current maps. I realize this isn’t a timeline or an answer to where are more maps, but it’s as much as we can give you right now and it hopefully gives some insight to the size of the task. As I said, as soon as we have more to talk about or show, you will hear it.

change the game mechanisms Mr Carver please and most of the players will return or stay to continue playing WvW … or at least give some infos of what you really want to do .

most of people that i am speaking every day thinking to stop or have already stopped because of the NO news and of no real changes in WvW …..

ofc , maps WvW needs major changes , but i don’t think should be your first priority now if it needs too much time.

no queues all day and all night and in all 4 maps , great WvW gvg and havoc guilds that love playing outnumbered from their enemies , veteran solo / roaming WvW players and a server that knows how to reverse a lost matchup ….

what else should expect a WvW player from a server ?

i can not imagine how will be the zerg fights after the reward !

we have now the problem with particle effects from legendaries , after the rewards will be horrible where everyone will have his shiny weapon

@OP . guardians need to secure an area to be guardians. if they can not create an area where any enemy skill is in deny then are not guardians but something else.

guardians best protective boons are aegis ( block one hit ) and protection ( -33 incoming damage ) .

the offensive skill that makes the guardian is blind . he can use the blind to protect his allies and him self from any incoming damage.but it is not in virtue , and it is on trait and on weapons. f1 should have blind without trait and fire should be on trait .i think it is very difficult now to change this

these three skills make the guardian because all three have massive effect , no matter if the attack is cc , or condition or burst damage . they apply to all incoming damages.

unfortunately the guardian’s blind is like any condition and can removed with other conditions . this make guardian less protective char and less guardian …….

Constructive criticism like this helps us to improve, and we look forward to bringing you the best possible version of WvW Tournaments in the future.

the frustration and the stress that i am getting every time i am defending outnumbered home borders , because players leaved the home map or from the map switching to save something is out of control anymore.

it will be the reason to stop the game , and i am very close to that !

the first bug with celestial rings stats fixed : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-May-20-2014/first#post4042292

i will check later for other bug fixes to update the list

for 1 hour fight the rewards were …. crap . achieve finished , never look back :p

@OP i modified a bit your build ( i think is for www zergs only ), to continue use celestial parts , cleric staff + sigil life + alls shouts + divinity + the trait ( i modified a bit )

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQJARWlsApVo1CxUI0ENhDBl57rP2Vo4f4yA0AA-TFTBABws/AXKDOTJ4oqrIomAPVpALlegcEAwTHACHCANeAAAcBACAcAY5lXe5lXulXe5lXe5SBUkyI-w

Btw , i think ( almost sure ) that you don’t want any energy sigil on staff , because you don’t want to have full stamina ( trait that gives +10% damage when stamina is not full ) and if you start double dodging in zerg you will be out of your healing area, except all in your raid using it, then you need it on staff . better using it on gs to escape from enemies.

if you use save your selves you will die from conditions if you dont use any medidation or concentrate converter . you will take all the conditions on you .

also i modified the food . you need more the -20% less damage when you don’t have stability and take damage from cc than +power and ofc the -condition duration

p.s. cleric staff + healing stacks goes always with tome of courage

if you feel that your vitality is not enough , you can change coat and leggings with soldier .

Rangersix.1754:

exactly . most of players focus on damage role of guardian and they missed the real mission of guardians that is in just one word.

Protect !

Guardians are already the top defensive class. Unless you decide on only using certain meditations, I don’t know what to tell you.

defense includes aegis , block ,Invulnerability, blind and stealth .

lets read the wiki about these and take some stats .

1. Invulnerability
2. aegis
3. block
4. blind
5. stealth

except the aegis and block where we have the most in all other defensive skills we are not in the first place and ofc in stealth we have none .

i do not think stealth is correct for guards but i think the guardians need more blindness utilities to protect their allies and him self from incoming damage .

as first thought i think the hallowed ground (nobody is using it now) is ready to take a nice boost to be the right utility to all parties that want stay and fight in small area (choke points) if devs replace the fire combo field with a dark combo field ( if was smoke will wonderful ) to protect the area and his allies with aoe blind .

after this i can tell that guardian will be equal to other classes in defense utilities and we will see more guards using more concentrate skills except purging flame .

not really dpsing down that tree anyway, support oriented honestly, but while you go down that tree you could pick up master of consecrations and have faster purging flames cool down to cleanse more conditions more frequently and add some condition damage as extra flavor.

That would provide more utility and effect than unscathed contender if you are determined to go down that tree.

and while I never take it, retaliatory subconscious is not completely horrible to provide some damage back when CCed, but we don’t’ see multi hit power/CC based builds much anymore so meh I guess?

4 points in virtues don’t cost you that much dps and the utility and support you gain from it are pretty good. By far the best you can do for a team-gamemode like tpvp imo.

And cmon we’re talking about dps builds… consecrations? Really? ._.

concentrations are not useless . some of them are really “tools of death” . a great example is wall of reflection

WoR in any PvPish situation? Meh sorry that i took this thread seriously.

any power mesmer , thief has instant death against wor . the last time i was in ruins with my guard i hold it without even move from my position with concentration skills :p even the omegas three guards can smelt them with wall , easy ….

i tried find a pvp video but i didn’t found a dedicated one ( except this , where the second guardian was dedictaed conc in 2 vs 7 fight : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QshQxkwzU3E ) but i found a lot from pve* : check this for the upcoming pve to be a bit useful for you : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4osbm2Qj94s

p.s. i left behind the comment about serious threads , you are the second that tried open flame war with me today . get in the line please

your opinion . mine is different than yours and again i will repeat it .

you want prove with videos ? do these video by your self and post them .i am not answering you again , because you want flame war and i do not .

have a nice day

@Realist.5812 if you disagree with my opinion do not ask from me to record videos but do it by yourself to prove your words

Rightlick on your gw2 shortcut and add the following line that will use port 80 to connect to guildwars 2, -clientport 80.So your commandline parameter will look like this

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -clientport 80

exactly this can do the fix , but this shortcut is used by a 64 bit windows . maybe it is different to OP.

@OP . if your shortcut is a bit different . you can find it if you right click on your gw2.exe shortcut on the desktop and press find target . it will go you in the folder of the game where you can create new shortcut from there with right click on GW2. exe and choose ,send to desktop ( create shortcut ) .

better explain in this wiki thread how to create and add line arguments in gw2 : http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments

Sounds like it works just fine.

Nah that build has meh burst, meh support and no range dmg, definetly not tpvp viable imo.

^This is the best from my experience (more than 1000 torna games on dps guard and currently on rank 19 on eu teamq ladder).

Unscathed Contender, Deal more Damage while under the effects of Aegis.

I’ve always wandered about that trait, does that basically mean you deal 20% more damage until you’re hit (and loose aegis)? If so, how is that practical?

cc’d people can’t take your aegis, blinded people can’t take your aegis, you can pop it together with instant stuff like bb+ji or smite condi so that you hit before he can hit you.

It’s pretty situational but it’s not like this traitslot would offer better things.

for better things , you missed the scholar runes that gives additional 10% damage up of 90% of hp that means in the start of the battle . with signet of resolve that boost +8k hp you can come in this situation again in 30 or 40 sec or with a shelter spam to have full hp .

+30% damage is very good if someone played smart or be lucky and not be the first target or …. used focus shield the right moment
