Mr Mooo → Piken Square
I sign in under most of the thing i saw here, and i have rly great hopes about this january and february patch.
ANET! I’m counting on u!
ANET! I bet my money on u!
ANET! I have keep my fingers crossed!
ANET! I want GW2 to succed so bad! I want to play this game for years!
…dont disappoint your fans
It’s a very nice warm up before tomorrows STOG.
I hope it will be as entertaining as this thread, but maybe more productive.
PS. Can’t wait to some intercontinetal clash!!
PS2. I can’t say Danto is best in the UNIVERSE until he takes me down – (in game) Mr Mooo, guardian – defender of the uniwerse
PS3. Does PSing become rly fashionable lately or just in this thread?
I couldn’t read all post here but i will tell u my point of view.
I play almost only spvp so i can tell u that thief shouldn’t kill a guardian (we have the upper hand), especially two (like somebody writed earlier). The main thing is weapon choice and triats. Easiest way for you to do well agains the thiefs is to equip focus and pick up Stand Your Ground. Focus can block few attack in row – and almost every thief likes to spam lots of HS after backstab, and SYG gives u retaliation that shot up every stupid HASTE combo than they can produce in they face.
One thing to notice – if u want retaliation to work rly well, get some easy protection
…and toughness is rly good
dont listen to others
Gold is always needed – if u dont spend most time in pvp u would not undestand. I dont even feel like explaining in lenght why, but the two first things would be:
- why alienate pvp players from other parts of the game? If u are very good pvp player and want to go to www just to kill noobs u wont have equal ground with ppl who have gold and buy better eq. Isnt it enough that u cant show your pvp progres, skins in other part of the world than mist?
- with gold u can buy a lot of vanity items – like pets and costumes that aint available to pvp players in any way. U cant buy more bag slots, bank slots, character slot – which are in big demand without any system to remember and bring different builds at demand (and dont bring here GEMS from paid becaus its only available to few to tier players who farm it, and paids are always so slow; ppl need wait sometimes an hour to get 8 teams)
To refresh the discussion I would like ask a question to those who think that guardian is super gap closer, player catcher, inevitable doom and others…
Just for fun think about it other way: what would guardian do if he wants to run from somebody?
I know that nobody here ever runs from a fight and kill every oponent, but make me a pleasure – let it be just theoretical, so i will ask again:
How does guardian run from other ppl?
Thief vs Warrior, Thief Backstabs, Hammer laughs and instantly kills him.
Rly? U found one thief that isn’t killing everyone, probably new or just a casual to the game and this is your argument?
Watch this film again, closely this time. Especially 1:37 – thief isnt moving, not becaus of stun or immobilize. My guess is: he is turning camera to make a kinki move: shadow step behind warrior, and then what? He stay still, i bet he is turning his camera back with A&D buttons to see whats warrior doing.
And about your previous comment about yt vid again – you remeber this:
http://youtu.be/TQFw4tzyajo
BREEZE…. This breeze is appering in 0:11 – from the left side of the screen, his name is Uwaaah (or something like this) and guess what – he is a thief
You can clearly see how blue thief mealts down and in how many moves (my guess: steal, hearseaker & autoattack, anybody have other idea?), caus it can be clearly seen on his health bar.
If u want to make an argument – make it count, dont throw trash in to the forum
Chris – i get what u ar saying, and like HACKKS said earlier: patience.
I’m playing guardian. I had rly big problem with warriors on the begining of the game, so i focused on killing every one of them in sight. I feel lack of busrt dmg, i’m not fond of bunker builds, and i rly dont like spirit weapon spec (if u want computer to play for u, run chess on PC with computer on both sides and just choose yours) and i use it only if i want to troll ppl
and be OP.
Back in subject – warriors 100 blades – u need 1 stun break or 1 good dodge, after they burn they skill just kill them they have nothing else. Ppl doesnt know how to play when they miss they burst and my greatest burst dmg – around 9k
(yeah, u heard – 8,5k for sure on guardian) is from rolling behind 100 blades warrior and doing my burst in his back, sweet.
Later i had rly problem with mesmers, after phantasm buff – my strategy… put target on real mesmer, kill phantasm when u see them and a mesmer in the meantime, like some side task.
Latelly thiefs – save dodge roll only for running from heart seeker (learn the animation) and pistol wheep. Try using blind, aegis if u can and retaliation to scare them.
I’m will gladly help if u want to spar with guardian and i would have lots of questions about your game play and prof to. I want to learn this game and kick butt especially of those who have edge becaus of lack of balance in some aspects.
C U in Mists
ANet – keep up the good work, i believe that when u end this game and esport potential will skyrocket over the roof!
Maybe i shouldn’t say this as a guardian, rewealing our weaknes but i want the game to be great, and ppl to not overestimate guardian (coz they got nerf in evry patch :/).
The answer is: condition stacking – DONE!
Like a friend from above said – best if ranged, necro and ranger are great in this aspect and i would add to this group condition engi – they can wrack guardians.
Guardian belongs to prof with lowest health pool, if they are tanky – thats becaus of toughness. Conditions doesnt give a kitten about armor
Guardian doesnt have that much that much condition removal if he doesnt make it artificialy (with the help of the runes and sigils) with sacrifice of other great point defending skills.
If u want to counter guardian – make one, see what skills he have, and where are the openings. I see ppl trying to run in to the SANCTUARY without stability and bomping all the time from “invisible” wall – even in tournaments.
Know your enemy if u want to beat him.
Plz… dont use condition on me
i hate it
I still must test if this is a rly big hit to my muscle memory – but what bugs me is cooldown times swaps from: 10,10,20 to 10,15,20… why not make a Leap on 10 sec ?
This is duble nerf… i’m not happy with that.
All i see in those updates are slow guardian nerfs…
About the retaliation – if it will be situational, can we expect at least more dmg from it?
In sPvP it should be another knockback with some cast time, allowing oponents a dodge
Scepter projectiles are way to slow for 1200 range. Even a kid could evade it without dodge, in fact – somebody must stand still to get hit by that… its so sad, for me it is another close range weapon. Maybe te orbs fired by the scepter should be homing projectiles that can be blocked, interupted by line of sight or dodged?
