I think i know what could make the Devs finally change the name once and for all.
Sylvati have been corrupted yah or some have shown signs of corruption. Why on earth would a Sylvari guardian corrupted by Mordremoth ever become a dragon hunter?
What exactly is a corruptrd dragon hunter of any race?Simple easy peasy solution: drop the Dragon and name it “Hunter”. JUST LIKE THAT EVERY ODY WINS AND LOOSES AT TGE SAME TIME
That keep their high concept we get a name change that matches Witchhunting.
Who wants cake?!
not possible, elite skills dragon maw got a freakin dragon head , dragon hunter will be cast in stone
its high concept stuff, use your imagination.
i knew what helmet you wanted before even coming into this thread.
we were all scammed by this concept art 3 years ago.
maybe hot will see it coming out? i don’t have high hopes though.
it is to know my role and shut the kitten up…
according to the rock at least…
the build is awesome!
wow just wow
necro is too OP
yea ping suddenly shot up yesterday, still high today.
let us be reminded that HOT PvE might not be like vanilla gw2
Dps may not be the king anymore, you might need hard cc stuns, soft cc conditions, healing tanking support instead.
Chronomancer – unique time abilities
Reaper – stylish death incarnate
Dragon hunter – crap name ranger add-on
I was hoping for something different with the Longbow as well, but this spec will be here for people who want to play it. I mean, the DH is not exactly the same as the Ranger; no pet, traps have different effects, and you can still slot regular Guardian utilities instead of the traps. Not every elite spec is going to be one everyone wants to play, but maybe the next Guardian elite spec will make you fanboy over it (and hopefully more people than this one has too!)
What were you hoping from the guardian longbow spec?
My idea for it would have been a ranged, angelic semi-support class. The Longbow would essentially have an auto-attack (the one they have is fine) and up to four “Mark” skills (mimicking the Necromancer’s marks but with Guardian symbols, though probably not triggered by enemies, maybe triggered by allies? o.O), which would pulse condi clears, regen, aegis, protection, stability, quickness, and healing to allies with maybe an opposite effect to enemies. The utility skills and heal would be a new set of channeled shouts, almost exactly like the anthems in GW1. These would do sort of what the Longbow does, but with varying intensity and at point-blank range instead of 1200 units away. The Elite would temporarily transform you into a “Paragon of Light” or “Spirit of the Paragon”, changing your weapon to a spear and giving you wings (with float? they added it to Chronomancers) for a short time and granting you abilities similar to that of the Paragons. Spears would be thrown, in the same way.
I am not entirely sure if the name of the class could be Paragon though, as they didn’t really use bows, but the Elite skill would be the embodiment of the idea behind it.
Anet please hire this person to develop the guardian
i think they should allow us to choose two lower traits and sacrifice the grandmaster trait as per the traits now ,instead of each slot choosing only from 3 choices.
They said something interesting in one of the HoM bug threads and I think it touches on the lack of even rereleased old content.
(snip)
Unfortunately, this came at a time where our resources are tapped to the max, so it’s taking longer than we would like to fix this. (snip)It sounds to me like the expansion is taking all they have to get done in a timely manner.
well they should just enable sab then ,its already in the game.
necro in the jungle? witch doctor incoming
please revamp the animations too
i wonder if i should try tera, its on steam now. but 28gb download is terrifying.
the obviously mastered the ways of the wilds, otherwise known as the force.
the mushrooms can probably use swords as per the trailer.
So many replies, so much time spend arguing endlessly in vain, restating again and again the same things. Wow, some people around this forum obviously have time to lose.
Let us just state the obvious: should Anet change the name, there would be another plethora of posts: “I don’t like this new name, use this other one instead. Even dragon hunter was actually better”. So why should Anet even bother to change it ?
theres a reason why this thread is still ongoing
because the name is downright bad
only casuals who don’t care about the class and people trying to be different will support such a crap name.
high concept name, like dragon wailer
come on man, just give us something to do, like sab…
i farmed until i made a legendary …
should just give everyone a 25% speed boost
if it s going to be shouts, maybe doomcaller or doom bringer
yes melee staffs are awesome
yea man, this type of ‘cheap money-making features’ for the companies should not be in revolutionary games like gw2…
this old trick of limiting players’ experience is scorned upon universally and in fact discourage people playing other characters.
yea we need other animations, got dam guardian’s scepter animation after a while is really repetitive
Common short cut for hats. Sad but that’s what we have.
maybe there is hope some day
![]()
now that Anet realease bow for guardian my dream almost come trueam a very big fan off valkyrie becouse Valkyrie also use a bow ^^
and she wears a helm but you also she her long hairam so close to my dream i hope Anet make my wish come true
after nearly 3 years playing this game, all i can say is the armors in this game suck… that helmet in that picture is so awesome…
dragon hunter… what a fail
give it to the poor , oh wait i am the poor, so i give myself, sounds about right, charity pitches !
specializations should be to make it a master of something, not make it a jack of all trades, if you made every class like every class then whats the point of playing a certain class?
there shouldn’t even be dragon in the name
don’t worry, the charr is tapping the energy of the ground to charge his hunter
yea a bit, what music was that btw? it sounds familiar yet foreign. is it in the game already or in the expac?
yea man, gem shop animations will sell like hot cakes
yea man, just friking enable that SAB for gods sake…
actually they should just give each class the new weapon regardless of whether the person spec for it or not
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the name is irrelevant. I don’t care if it’s called Bubblegum Sparkfart. What I care about is the skills, mechanics, and traits that go with the specialization. That being said, I’ll wait to pass judgement until I see it in action.
the dude that came up with dragonhunter must have though like you, thats why we ended up with a crap of a name.
i vote yes, not traditional mounts though, could be improved on , innovative ones are the future
If they absolutely want to keep a name that is tied to dragons they should try something similar.
In English it would be something like Draconeer.But it won’t solve the rest of the problem.
it shouldn’t even have anything to do with dragons imo…
how nice, makes you wanna buy HOT right? getting a crap spec right off the bat sure is great for hype.
how did such a crap of a name made it through publication
learn to like it pal
your awe inspiring , flame searing, justice binding, holy lightbringer of the ages blessed with divine justice , valor and courage will be using TRAPS… kittenin traps…. to tame dinosaurs in HOT…
every other name sounds about right except dragon hunter…
they better change that crap name or RIOT
they should never have called it traps… they belong to the ranger domain… rangers are the hunters… not guardians…
specialization should not be mixing classes together… especially in this case, it is an outright copy and dump… with a less than desirable name…
exactly… what a bad name…
they better not call warriors plant exterminator or something…
time to find another class to like…
Dragonhunter… What a disappointment.
it’s absolutely nonsensical…
This… is why Arena Net should have added a few new weapons. Warr, Rev, and Guardian would be ideal with a Spear/Pole-arm, and also a Javelin with a shield (like in Fire Emblem) which could be thrown from afar, or used up close.
Then some want poleaxes and scythers.
Ideally a weapon on a long chain which thieves could use, and Gaurdians could swing it at enemies whilst the other hand had the shield.Not sure about this new specialisation, but I will give it a chance, I mean they’d have to have a reason for thinking this was okay to use.
yea man… spears tridents should have made it to land…
they should add more too … instead of chucking us ranger’s traps ….
i have no more hype left… my guardian in hot is gonna be ranger hunter taming dinosaurs with traps
