Okay, first of all Anet has stated that they don’t want Guardian to be another Warrior class. Each class should bring something to the table, and they’ve said countless times that they want Guardian to be more of the support role, but also be able to perform in other areas (DPS, etc). Yeah, a lot of these buffs are underwhelming but they’re buffs regardless, and it shows that they want to make more builds a bit better. They’re not going to give us 3k+ health for DPS builds, or other broken stuff that many people have suggested.. That’s ludicrous. We practically have the best support and insane sustained healing / survivability /tankiness. Our DPS builds and damage are fine, and all we lack really is soft CC to help stay in melee range of targets and maybe a bit of condition damage. So many complaints and counter suggestions in this thread would just make Guardian even more broken. We are by far the most balanced class, and I’ve enjoyed it being this way since beta. I’m sorry, but you should go play Warrior / Thief / whatever other classes you can’t handle on your guardian if you want to be “OP”, not that they even really are.
Thats just dumb. I mean warriors can support as good as us. We wouldent be “just another” warrior class because we can do damage.
There is no contradiction in the “lore” of a guardian to be able to either do damage or be support.I’m glad to know you can’t read, and that you really don’t know much about either class. Warriors can support, but in a much different way with -some- similarities. Just like other classes can support, too. (Not to mention guardians get support skills on virtues, on weapons and many utilities.) And guess what? We can do damage, just like warriors other classes. If you think Guardians can’t do damage you’re greatly mistaken, please learn the class before posting. Also, no one is even talking about the lore of the game. Stay on topic please.
Ill pass your childish remarks.
You seamd to have taken offence. But I didentcall you dumb it were directed to arenanet for having the attitude that a guardian buffed offensivly would be a new warrior. And thats just dumb.
Second of all I know the class pretty well so I know what im talking about. Third, what I meent with “lore” were not the games lore but more arenanets view about the guardian clas of some slowmoving support class, with dps traits that aint viable. There view on classes is a part of lore.
Fourth I know a guard can do damage, and I know it can do lots of damage. But it aint viable as a damage dealer in many acpects and one is movmentspeed and the other is the low healthpool and the fact we need (in different to warriors) sacrifice so much of our survivability.
We don’t really sacrifice that much for a dps build, I run zerkers with 16k HP and find myself being just fine. The only type of warrior I even struggle to fight against is pure regen tank condi warriors in a 1v1 situation, and it just usually draws out into no one dying. If you want to have pure zerkers with the same amount of survivability we currently have + more HP then what’s the point of playing a Warrior? Our DPS spec is viable, and I addressed the need for more soft CC (Which is cripple/chill/snare/etc if you don’t know the terminology). We have a good amount of leaps and blinks and utilities that give movement speed. (Which we won’t need to use if we get more soft CC). You keep saying that we sacrifice too much survivability to go dps spec but most of our needed traits are in the valor / honor lines anyway, and again.. If you want to maintain the survivability we have now with more damage, that’s just broken. There has to be some kind of give and take balance, you can’t have it all.
RIP in peace.
