Guild Wars 2

Do you guiz think bunk guard will be back aswell?

Ele rage before the patch even comes out. How about you see how the patch is before teh salt. That’s what I’m hoping for. #fingerscrossedforthereturnofbunkerguard

Im super excited for this update as i love bunker guard. I’m crossing my fingers that bunker guard gets buffed and Guard hammer aswell!! If not, oh well, I’ll just play the fallout dlc or something until the time comes. without bunker guard this game isnt fun

Because DH is a damage oriented elite spec, elite specs are stronger than base classes. Why does druid have more sustain than a bunker guard. Same answer. Please stop putting stuff like this on the forums when these questions were answered 3 months ago

You are a good little A-net lackey. And elite specs being stronger then base classes they might be currently but A-net has never stated that was the goal to make them stronger then base trait lines. Also, the reason why we are seeing tons of nerfs coming to elites soon.

I know they weren’t intended to be stronger but they are. Was just stating the truth that was all that it was. I don’t even understand what you mean by A-net lackey because if you are playing the game you should be an A-net lackey since you support them and the game they created. This is not a war, we are trying to improve things you dramatic forum warrior.

Guard hammer definitely needs rework. Zealots embrace and Banish are the main culprits. Mighty blow dmg increase, and fix not being able to tele port while casting mighty blow

So I was one pip away from Diamond right? I grab my friend, we duo que, and the game looks like its going pretty well at the beginning. We were ahead by 50. then Someone leaves my team. the Disconnected for the whole match essentially. I think to myself, ok, the game is lost but, I wont lose a pip since we are 4v5. However, at the end of the match, bam I lose a pip. Why is this?

Can we change the red words that say “Not enough profession specific energy” to say “Not enough Mist Energy”. It would make the class feel a lot more complete and not still in beta. Thank you

Dragonhunter is such meta. There’s absolutory no possibility that when there are one or 2 tempests on the other team I have to completely reroll to revenant because I can do zero damage

Mail me ingame, I’d be happy to help out. Being in Ruby I always need a premade to help against other ones, well atleast duo Que. I’m running revenant now so I can carry a noob or 2. I can play almost all hours. I’m on west coast though

^^ No definitely not that is a non constructive comment. The real reason is that while the DH damage comes from traps, the main damage per second comes from the longbow. Because tempest has very available and easy access to magnetic aura. The reflect aura. The Guardian/Dragonhunter is rendered usless during the duration of the tempests reflect aura. Celestial elementalist has always countered Guardian but now it even renders the guardian usless against other team members too. Isn’t this just wonderful

Sounds good but a little too much like virtues. Maybe f3 will let you equip a new weapon since you guys are weapons masters, or stances have increased effects and an active ability tied to the stances

Ok thanks

Doodly doodly doodly doo

The patch you guys said would happen today involved nerfing demonic defiance and the rune of durability. I didn’t see it on the balance changes and am quite scared. I know you guys said the changed will not all be in the first build but will be there shortly after. By shortly after do you mean a couple days or a couple weeks?

whoa tage is dead? i havent followed the EU scene since its in the morning for me so ive missed the details but wow what happened?

no he’s alive he just quit the game for awhile. sorry i confused u mate haha

After today’s less than exciting pro league i wanted to share with everyone the great moments of this game and gw2 competitive play. This is probably one of my favorite esl’s and my favorite meta to this day. #RIPtage #wewillneverforget #RomTageHelsethSizerandMinisheeislikeputtingtheavengerstogether

I think that’s horrible especially for guardians which build diversity relies on clerics. Guard is based around supporting allies through virtues and wards/shouts. If you took out toughness amulets our low heath pool would be obselete. Removal or Nerf of cele am my would be ok tho I think might stacking Nerf would be a better way of doing this. My only option being Drsgonhunter since guards don’t have Condi builds (cept burn bull) would severely limit diversity and kill alot of the population. We need toughness amulets, not traits the are so passive and overpowered that the game shifts into this state that it is

Def berserker + thief they have style points no other pair can have

You guys are gonna make old Tim cry. I didn’t think so many of you wished to guard and support your allies just like me. Can’t believe there are Guards left. You guys are awesome. If only anet made the elite spec With a two handed shield. And super support abilities. I would be so happy. Maybe we might even be meta. Someday. Someday

The point is that anet forgot how they made their game in the first place somewhere around the addition of the celestial amulet. No more class roles. Now the meta are classes that can do basically all. Dele celestial ammy = prosper

I keep seeing this argument made around these forums, and I don’t know why. You do realize that Celestial Amulet has been in the game since beta right? ANet never “added” it, it’s always been there!

I’m sorry I misspoke I meant, ever since anet added the buffed celestial amulet things started going badly. The one that was there before had the same amount of stats the others did. The buffed version has much more stats than the other amulets making it more powerful

But srsly guiz bunker guard meeds halp

Also, isn’t it weird that the two tankiest classes in the game wear cloth? I mean a mesmer and a elementalist holding off multiple foes and supporting there allies with such little armor? I just think it’s strange how Anet comes up with these things…

You’re right, because this game is super realistic……

Assuming you’re pulling the “it’s a world with magic and dragons so realistic” argument, I refer you to the concept of Willing Suspension of Disbelief.

Essentially, fictional works don’t have to be realistic, they just have to be internally consistent. Magic isn’t realistic, but most fictional works handle it consistently. On the other hand, if people running around in dresses are better protected than people in heavy metal armour, the question becomes why heavy armour exists at all.

But we digress.

1. shrekt by the massive logic that is this guy^^

Keep in mind pvp when you talk about buffs and nerfs aswell as anet usually balances for pvp aspect since pvp is the most fragile place, (in terms of balance)

Medi trapper definitely isn’t meta. It never will be due to the damage being able to be canceled with one dodge. Any person still running warrior due to it being their main and favorite class is most likely more useful than any kittened form player that didn’t want to faceroll mesmer and decided to faceroll guard and die over and over and over and over. Just ignore players giving you kitten about warrior in pvp.

What happens if you bunk as a Guardian in ranked Que these days

I’m a guardian. When I started out ny primary purpose and goal was to protect and support my allies. Now I spam trueshot because lolz. Wtf. Why is this? Just leave a reply if you became a guardian to heal and protect your allies. And if you joined cause trueshot reply aswell. Basically it would be nice if people could respond with why the made a guard, and what they do with it nowz.

YES! 100% YES! The Guardian is supposed to guard and protect allies. That is what us guards were created to do. Not this trapper bull kitten. Someday, I will be able to bunk in ranked Que again. Someday

There are enough flashy animations we don’t need any more in the game to obscure my vision

Would really like to see this addressed as well. Testing whether or not I’m still trapped by running my face into an invisible wall is less than enjoyable.

I will say this again do your research, get a DH friend to put the elite on you and you would see that there is a tiny ring of lights holding you in and knocking you down known as a ward. You can not move so counterpressure or pop stab and walk right out

And I’m saying that they’ve “reduced visual noise” too much for this. It’s barely visible in many situations.

But if you see the giant dragon jaw then you know there is a barrier. I don’t understand the issue

When mesmer bunkers better than the heavy armor, support oriented class that is designed for bunkering, you know there is a problem

Aeryn.9813:

I’m sure there are many more that wasn’t covered here. I miss the good old bunker guards. I’d never imagined that mesmers, out of all classes, would replace them.

- Fighting off points is a good defensive strategy if your team has 2 points secured.
- Try staying alive as long as you can while defending or capturing a node. A dead teammate puts the rest of the team in harms way.

I miss teh bunker guards too. I’m a guard, I’m supposed to guard. At least let me do that, but no, flippin mesmer gets to guard. Sad bunker is sad tears

I don’t know if this is the 64 bit client or just an anet server issue. My game is updating at 1 KB a second and its super frustrating. The rest of the internet is fast and zippy but when I download the update its super slow? Plz haalp. Much love. Tim Tim

DH is definitely not a bunker if you think that and leave them in bad situations your team will be screwed

Not fully change the mechanics just change the unimportant ones like the usless minor trait, a grandmaster trait. The way traps do damage stuff like that

Doon.2364:

The only two professions worst than DH are warriors and thieves. I think these profession needs some buffs. I suggest making true shot not rooted. Hunter’s ward should grant protection to allies and increase the damage. Symbol of energy should give a big heal. Test of faith should remove 2 conditions from u and allies when enemies passes them. Procession of blades radius should be bigger and increase the duration.

No definitely not, we dont need skill buffs we need an overhaul to our mechanics so we have the depth to compete

Still running the (meta) for the class just I’m not playing the only 2 viable classes known as mesmer and revenant

It’s ok crysis I know that feel, I have (or well had) higher mmr and I played guardian in ranked play cause I love it (be it normal guard bunk or DH) and I would get reported by some esl players playing mesmer and revenant. If you see someone playing guard, warrior or thief. Just let them have their fun and kitten off with your esports reve/mesmer. If you don’t want it to happen, make a premade with only revenants and Mesmer’s and bam you will be espurts.

Just play you favorite class and tell the others to kitten off. If you feel too cheesy play power revenant, hit old Timotheus up and I’ll clear your conditions. If you find amazing people to play with in this game, the horrible balance and players gets alot better.

(delete DH and create the god of all bunker guards to banish these other so called bunkers from these lands.)

The virtue cast times are not bugs they are labeled in the tooltip. Anet thought it was a good idea despite all guards saying they hate it. Whatever I guess

Remember this thread fellow guards? I do. Though our hope (well at least my hope) is dashed by Condi revenant and bunker mesmer) maybe we can hope for changes? Though these changes will be largely overshadowed by the fact that you shouldn’t pvp onless you are on rev or Chrono I can still hope, right?

Not really, the block works ok against meh players. Try going revenant instead of warrior, I did the same since DH is usless against them. tear

If you get dazed and knocked back while blocking it’s probably spear of justice and it’s a really obvious spear labeled as a condition on your bar. If you see it on you pop stab. That’s the only way to prevent it. You can dodge while they pull but it will kitten knock you down a bit

Since HoT, you might want to look at the other bull specs (insert chronomancer and revenant) I just don’t care anymore. DH is kitten against these bunker comps and for your information Mr. I’m a warrior who can’t do research on my own. The only unlockable skills on Dragonhunter are f1 spear, deflecting shot, which does a massive 1-2k damage, and test of faith, which is highly telegraphed and only lasts for 6 seconds now. Now you know.

This is a bruiser meta, bruiser engi, revenant, and tempest. The only bunker is Chrono. And that’s not even a bunker, it’s just a class that abuses the abilities of wells and stab to allies in shatter. Mesmer is still squishy while it’s a bunker its light armor and low toughness its not a bunker

Reintroducing minrestrel +nerfing kittening Chrono shatter giving stab to allies and perms quickness would fix the Condi rev problem no problem

No I’m completely serious and 500% done with this bruiser meta

I just took a break for awhile after this. I don’t know if I can play pvp unless I get recruited by a guild with a mass of people so I can always premade. So freakin done with this. Most likely if I find a guild it’s a pve guild not understanding that you can’t farm pvp so my search continues…

Only thing people thing is invisible is Dragons maw. It has a tiny circle of vertical blue lights around you that hold you in after. I have never seen longbow 5 go invisible.
