Guild Wars 2

KrazyFlyinChicken.5936:

Our problem is in our ability to hold ground. We can’t do it. We strike HARD for 10 seconds and put a few down. If we don’t kill a lot of them, they quickly recover their dead and we continue to fall back.

This is exactly wherefor you need guardians: to be able to sustain. And also necro’s with aoe blind/chill is very good. But if you have no healing, you will die anywayz.

@Brutaly.6257, guardians heal a lot more than eles in large scale WvW with some smart strategy. And without that strategy, the healing tome still healz more than an ele. The way to heal that is even more effective is to blast into waterfields. And yes Eles are the most reliable of making waterfields with staff.

This brings me to another way to create more sustain. If you have problems after the first 10 seconds. Then do a regroup and heal with waterfields + blast after 10 seconds.

@ Nuzt.7894, last rune you are looking for is prolly Superior Rune of Dwayna, which gives 20% more regen. Also you dont have to use staff, in my eyes it’s pretty bad small scale. Instead you can use greatsword, or sword/focus. Even hammer is viable option.

@Silv.9207, as you use altruisitic healing in the Honor tree, I would instead take the 2 symbol traits (larger and longer) Symbols give you a buff every second you stand in them, resulting into some very nice healing. You can also go 30 points for the symbols heal trait. Though that is better for sPvP, as you will stay on one spot instead of having to chase ppl.

@KensaiZen.3740, a guardian will never kill a good ele. Ele is not only about CC but also about sustain and good damage compared to the defense they have. Maybe in full bunker build you wont be able to kill eachother, but no way you will kill and D/D ele. Even a bad ele can just ‘Ride the Lightning’ away from you.

@ Archer, guardian is good for small groups, but even better for large scale WvW. Guardians have most AoE healing of all classes. Also warrior is no bunker in small scale. It can be a support with healing shouts (and cleansing if using soldier runes)

@ Starfall, the best guilds do not have a backline, and if you try to flank them, they will simple turn and run over you. Though what you say is true, when they have a backline, simply portal on it and try to kill them quickly. One thing to note is that Portal is nerfed to 20 people limit. So if you have more than that or having pugs running with you, you should watch out

I’m a guardian in a hardcore WvW guild. How good guardians are for you really depends on your strategy. If you want to burst the enemy down quickly you dont need support guardians. If you want more longer term play then having support guardians is A MUST for the healing they can do. On a side node, I guess with bunker guardian, you mean support guardian with healing and stuff. Otherwise defenensive guardian is completely useless.

Certainly not, though you dont want too many guardians. We run max 25% guardians, but it can be less aswell. The 40% could work if you have very good focussed damage. Which means you bomb all on the same spot. Then you will still have enough damage to kill anything AND you will have a lot of survivablilty.

I don’t see what is complicated, just stay together (which I forget, but is sooo important if you want to fully use the healing).

3/4

Again, really depends on your strategy (see 1)

I hope this info will be usefull for you. btw, 3 eles should blow up any guardian. Except if they use 3sec invulnability elite, but then they are big noobs, as you want your tomes in WvW ALWAYS. This also gives insane healing!!

Hello everyone!

For all those who want to see some nice WvW action, take a look at my video I posted on youtube. My guild (Red Guard) and I ‘stole’ this keep from Arborstone attacking Vizunah Square.
Please note it’s not a video to show how awesome I am or something. It’s all about teamwork and good timings. I hope you will enjoy the video!!

Here is some nice gameplay of the guardian in 3 vs X fights.

Here I have a small scale WvW video for those who would like to watch. It wasn’t even perfect teamplay, but good enough to kill a lot of people.

You dont give your opinion and you dont give arguments, so I dont see why are you posting

Guild Wars 2 the new great MMORPG with a completely new awesome combat system. I will certainly agree to this statement. The combat system is awesome, but some other (big) things aren’t.
PVE
To get good gear from PVE, you kinda have to do only one dungeon over and over again. This is because you want gear of only the same kind, since you want the set bonuses to be the same. This mean just farming and gets boring after a couple of runs. It should instead have been more encouraged to do different dungeons. It’s pretty easy to change this by only having one kind of token instead of like eight different. The PVE itselfves is new and different from other MMORPGs, but pretty nice. Except some stun/knockdown chains I like it quite a bit.
WvW
I love just love the WvW, Anet made it like perfect. Also the new combat system functions even better than I expected before the game was released. There is only one problem … You can’ t get in. Especially at the evenings the queue times for WvW ARE INSANE. Even on the less crowded server I’m playing on, the queuetimes are over three hours.
SPvP
Meanwhile you are queued for WvW you are able to play SPvP. This is a good idea, though you can only play the character you are queued with in SPvP. I mean you can’t play your alternative while being queued for WvW with your main. My main is a guardian, and I don’t like him so much in SPvP, but I can’t log any alt because I’m queued. Anet could change this by implenting a system where you are queued for WvW with you account, not with a character.
Now about the SPvP itselves. I just don’t like it. This is just personal, but I prefer groups fights over solo fights. And you have to split up if you want to win a conquest since you have to cap all the points all the time. That brings me to the next point: I don’t like the idea that capping is more important than killing. You can get top score without even fightning. Other words you be top player even though you are a big noob. I know this won’t be the case if you do tournaments, but the idea is still there.
Gear
Last point I want to talk about is the gear. I feel like it is way to easy to get the best gear atm. In my opinion that is really bad. The best gear is something you slowly reach in a game.
Please give me your opinion, and come with some good arguments
