Guild Wars 2

Well we all have to get 400 Smithing now if we want any progress.

defi.4127:

95% of the community? You’re a real jester, aren’t you.

With changes like these, they’ll be merging servers next month and going free to play!

Eveningstar.7834:

I don’t give a kitten to doggies. Never did CoF… But now running AC is reallykitten too… Not to mention I’d have to transmute the stuff for my lvl 80 character anyway.

Buff the dungeons… I don’t care.
Nerf the rewards? Why were they so high in the first place anyway? >_>;

Some of us would like dungeon gear
Some of us would like dungeon master title

These changes make that incredibly hard and in some cases impossible because certain paths are unbeatable without a tactical nuke.

Xetelian.9278:

Just a big thank you for making the grind for dungeon gear longer, harder and costly.

You really listened to the fan base and made excellent changes!

Aren’t we all so happy that 1300 tokens will now take much longer to get?

You’re welcome trots around in COF gear pre patch

I could hardly find people to do explore in my 500 person guild, among my 20 RL friends who own the game and PUGs.

Now it’ll me impossible, but you look pretty sexy.

Xetelian.9278:

You mean 1300 Charr carvings, don’t you?
There is solution for you: if you fail at Magg’s path try another 2 paths.

/sarcasm off

Complete all 4 dungeon paths how?
Get Dungeon Master title how?

Stop trolling me man.

Just a big thank you for making the grind for dungeon gear longer, harder and costly.

This was by and large the worst thing I’ve seen a game do.

Azguard.1254:

I thought it was a little obvious in the class trailer that Guardian would be some form of a support type class?

I think the point is they’re is a line between useful and ONLY support.

I need colorblind mode because I am color blind and red circles are hard to dodge when you can see red/green.

5. Just go to the mists?

MithranArkanere.8957:

If you want a new profession, yo should start with its mechanic. Taking the mechanic from another class won’t do.

Come up with an actual mechanic.

Hard to do unless you have the tools that run the game.

I think I already said that and you failed to read it. >_>

Without working knowledge of the engine and what it can and cannot do I have no way of coming up with anything new mechanic wise, so please remember that.

Progulous thank you, I feel like my suggestion of an Arcane Warrior ect. was not well received and would like a Ritualist/Heavy/Medium Health

Corsix thank you as well, I don’t understand why people are so against things being done even if they’re staples to the fantasy genre.

Its kind of what makes them staples of the genre, how much people like them and I really would like Anet to consider an offensive magic soldier.

If Anet had simply ported the previous GW1 professions I’d still love GW2 and might even love it more with the new mechanics.

I’ve got a 9th character slot saved for making a Bird Deathnight ^_~

I made a suggestion like this but with the stipulation that easier runs would have lower rewards.

80 Silvari Guardian

Our Elites suck. Period. They last 20 seconds and one knock down gives up most of that time.

Our stats suck. In general we’re bottom of the line and exist only to make other classes more effective than they already are.

My job in dungeons? Rez anyone who falls. Shout often. Create light combo fields.

My job is sPvP run to point and stand on it, if its attacked hold out long enough for a real class to come prevent the enemy capture with my buffs on them.

WvWvW? I make people run faster with a staff and carry supplies and Rez as much as possible.

Our traits have no synergy

• Zeal
  Power with Condition Duration Focused on Greatsword or spirit weapons…

• Radiance
  Precision with Condition Damage Focused on 1 handed and spaming Justice

Now what really makes no sense

• Valor
  Toughness and Critical damage which makes Critical builds 1 handed and shields a necessity. If I want to heal myself I have to have allies nearby to give boons to and that is a really weak heal since there are now no more points left to skill up my healing.

• Honor
  Increase Vitality and Healing
  Gain 1 second of vigor when you critical…which there isn’t many points left for.
  Two handed weapon trait is here for 20% cooldown reduction.
  Which is now Staff focused because the Staff has the heals on it.

• Virtues
  Faster cooldown on Virtues and longer boon durations…shout and F2 F3 in a group

Basically every class is capable of faster single target dps and some even have AoEs
Guardians don’t really have that.

Necros are Tanky/DPS
Warriors are Tanky/DPS
Thieves are nasty
Mez are nasty
Ele are nasty
to deal with as a Guardian.

Ari Kagura thank you for your response
roqoco thank you for your response

Mesmer/Warrior would be an amazing concept I toyed with the idea but haven’t played a Mesmer to 80 yet.

Yes Guardians are the spiritual successor to Monks as the Paragon page points out in the wiki >_< roqoco which means a lot in the way they would need to come up with different systems for the new classes if we get any.

That is the rub, my idea(s) are subjected to the existing system without knowing what can be done with their engine.

We have a Paladin with low HP and High armor in the Guardian
We have an offensive high hp high armor Soldier in the Warrior

What I was thinking was a Heavy armor Middle HP Soldier within the current skill base that would have the effectiveness in a niche between the Guardian and Warrior.

We could mix and match all day
Engi/Warrior mix lots of conditions and kits
Thief/Warrior mix lots of conditions and escapes
Rang/Warrior mix lots of spirits and conditions

Ele/Warrior mix lots of conditions and attunements
Mes/Warrior mix lots of tricks and mantras
Necr/Warrior mix lots of lifesteal and summons

However in the end I can’t agree more with roqoco about needing an original setup with concepts that are out of our reach because we aren’t inside Anet.

On the bright side, I think even these suggestions will help motivate the team at Anet to greater things for the next Soldier.

We have a meat shield
We have a Paladin
We could have anything and I have 9 character slots 1 waiting for another class release.

I agree, its hard to make a case for getting a Mace and Shield when you can just get a Hammer.

44 more runs in SE explore and I can get my uber set >_>

Please make dyes account bound

Would it be fair to bump this thread?

I think it would be nice to have a DeathKnight or MageWarrior type as we already have a Pure Warrior and a Paladin.

I’m just making a general guess about the amount.

It is not fun, or interesting to run a dungeon 46 times to get 1050 for a full set of gear.

If explorer runs were given as a single currency to be spent on any gear people would run the easiest dungeons to get the hardest to earn gear, however they still have to run it many times and most of the explorable runs are pretty challenging with a few that are really short.

Balance this out with shorter easier runs giving much less than the harder runs, we all know SE Explore 1 is a short run, 20+ minutes maybe. While CM Butler run is much longer and in my opinion significantly harder.

These explore runs shouldn’t be so difficult to find a party for in pick up groups, everyone wants to run 1 path all the time to take advantage of its shortness and ease when many of us want to get all 4 paths done and don’t always have 4 other people on hand to do that with.

TL DR

• Universal currency in exchange for a re-balancing of rewards for exploring.

I think this is a good idea I hope others do too, its discouraging when I complete something difficult for the same reward as something much easier.

Scepter is very much the biggest disappointment in weapons on a Guardian.

People can easily back out of range, the smite isn’t a symbol or combo field so we have to use other weapons to heal allies and worst of all is the slowness of the orb, you don’t know you’re hitting an obstruction until you shot 4 – 6 more balls at the target you’re not going to hit.

Thank you Draeka, I’m going to try the 0/20/0/30/20 in the mists tonight

http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/?fUAQJApelYgqCnFyIEm4ESmCDEBxUgRf01DKSiYIA

Thats what I setup, Mace has its own heal on its symbol and I don’t know if writ gives additional healing on top of it, however the mace also applies a boon as well as the shield and I take 2 shouts and a signet of jug which gives retaliation as a boon to allies and passively reduces damage 10% while the Mace and Shield apply 33% damage reduction.

So far I’ve been successful in sPvP and WvW and Dungeons,

My question really is

• Does Writ of the Merciful have any synergy with Symbol of Faith

My gear isn’t great so I’m at

• Power 1,329
• Precision 1,297
• Toughness 1,440
• Vitality 1,181

• Attack 2,236
• C Chance 22%
• Armor 2,413
• Health 13,455

• Healing Power 297

Are there any chances in the traits that you would suggest?

Yes I need to get a good gear set and have been running dungeons to do and I’m getting close to enough for a set from Sorrow’s Embrace.

Thank you

Doesn’t burning -33% to healing?
Pretty good if it does

I am also frustrated that my level 80 gets level 11 blues (40% magic find on me) from splendid chests and drops.

Caledon jumping puzzle with the floating blue platforms doesn’t initiate anything when you get to the last part and the console there isn’t selectable.

Can’t get the chest, the fight doesn’t initiate.

Waypoint costs are too high

I’m a Guardian and I agree, we need scepters or skills that enable more attacks from the walls while under siege

Sexy sells, always has, look at the free MMOs and their panty filled servers.

100% support both the coverage and the uncovered

Rift?
Is that an MMO?

Please leave feedback, my suggestion is either lame or not lame but trolling my post is only bumping for nothing.

Read http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dervish they have elemental attacks
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/File:%22They%27re_on_Fire!%22.jpg Awesome Paragon skill when burning is applied.

I was reading these when I was typing this up, not playing another game.

Elemental Warrior: Place holder name for Soldier profession.

Guardians can support and Warriors can burst and adding to that is difficult and the idea to reintroduce the Paragon or Dervish has been troubling me since beta.

So while I’d like to call it a Paragon or Dervish, it would be best to give it an original name and Elemental Warrior is just a place holder until I think of something better or

As a heavy armor class with limited weapon types and attunements instead of weapon swapping.
Main hand

• Staff Mace Axe Sword

Off hand

• Shield Focus Torch

Aquatic

• Spear Trident

Attunements like Life, Death, Earth, FIre ect
Auras similar to Elementalist for front line battle like 20% Blinding on hit in fire attunment and 20% chance to either bleed or lifesteal in the Death attuntment and 20% chance to heal on hit in Life attunment.

Their weapons hit with burning in Fire attunment and Chill in Water at a only every 15 seconds. Chance to knockdown in Earth and chance to summon a lighting strike in Air.

Traits would be similar to what a Guardian/Elementalist or Warrior/Elementalist has.

Tactics
Discipline
Auras
Honor
Virtues
Place holder names for the ideas that I’m suggesting

Attunements could be Stances instead or Devotions or something.

Dungeons bugged on Crystal Desert still.

Examples:

Which dungeon: Majority of them
If you are joining through the pop-up dialogue or by walking up to the entry point:

Both

How many people in the party tried creating the instance:

Many of us.

Any other details you can provide
On Crystal Desert and the majority of the dungeons are broken for story mode, CM, CoF, SE, ect.
