Guild Wars 2

Reduce the CD on sigil of rage to 18 seconds

If so, can someone tell me what it’s like?

Still going to be facing hella duo queues. I hope I can carry.

I hope.

I may be going a little over the top here, but I think this trait (along with many hours) have the potential to be great alternatives to the other traits in their respective line.

In what game mode is this trait used? WvW zergs?

Hell to the no, no

This trait should reduce the cooldown of Shield of Courage by 30 seconds…

Stop adding garbage traits -_-

I like AoE condi cleansing more

It’s scary how burn damage can sneak up on you. All those times I’ve had to watch my character die because i wasnt ready..

Listen to this man ANet

Oh man. It might be the GPU pooping out. If this is the only game crashing then maybe it is moreso GW2 related

Please, please add a normal t-shirt and jeans (also tennis shoes?) to the gem store… I want to look basic as hell xD

DawnSketch.7105:

Do we know the lore reason as to why Rev’s wear blindfolds?

Also, here is my Plant Rev. I’m not sure really how Sylvari Revs are posable, but I do love being the impossibility in the room.

I wish I played a Sylvari. Nice!

Hmm. I haven’t been having this issue, but I do want to offer help. How old is your GPU?

The longer cast time on DH F1 helps me cancel it better. Pros & cons I guess. I’ll eventually get used to the change. I just have to be careful. I dropped sword/shield for sword/focus. Blast finisher from focus on light fields… YAY

I could see 25% making sense if Guardian had crazy quickness uptime. It needs to be 75%

Anyone noticing more or less DHs?

Oh My God F1 feels so wrong

Okay. I was hoping this wouldn’t happen but it did. I still don’t have my titles

Everyone uses combo fields for their effects

Whirling Wrath should NOT slow movement speed! Please, if any dev is listening, give this feedback to the team responsible for balancing Guardian.

I LIKE how ANet changed GS for the BETTER! LB #3 change is GREAT!!

I DISLIKE the changes to DH F1 and trap heal… Come on now! We don’t have over the top survivability.

I only hope that GS will be on par with sword/shield or focus. LB/GS should burst the mess out of people! Feel My Wrath Should be a Meditation… Make it give only us quickness… I’ll use it =]

Side note… Expect a new video from me soon!

Guardian doesnt have top notch survivability? LOL

I said it wasn’t over the top, I never said they don’t have “top notch survivability”. DH’s survivability was good. It wasn’t over the top. The increase in cast time + reduction in healing sucks :/

Burtnik.5218:

No. Condi transfer/cleanse on hit.

Rev would be a beast

Actually kinda pleased on first read through. Spear of Justice was a big cast time increase but I guess its kinda needed

I thought about it for a second, and I have to agree now. Like with trap daze, once I realized other Guardians couldn’t do it to me, it became a “nicer” fight. I should be able to dodge DH F1 a lot more now. It took crazy reflexes to do it before. A missed F1 can really sting.

I really, really hope that LB/GS becomes the burst combo I’ve wanted it to be. Balls to the wall DPS!

GS could always burst, its problem was the auto attack was too slow for sustained DPS and it gave no defense.

the cooldown decrease and increased damage from whirling wrath and symbol does nothing to change this.

I don’t think the auto attack should give sustained DPS. I think it should hit like a truck to compensate for its long cast time. I think it should be our go to melee burst weapon. Sword should be what we use when we want sustain AA damage.

GS AA #1 should give fury for 1/2 a second, AA #2 should give might and fury for 1/2 a second and AA #3 should give fury and might for 1 second… GS AA should be buffed so each attack in the chain does 15% more damage

Thanks for sharing your PoV lvloobs. You gave me a lot to think about

Will you give GS a… whirl?

Screenies!

@Arcaedus

I agree on GS #5. It should have a range of 900. If it’s going to this slow, then it should do a helluva more damage. Having an enemy leashed should apply slow!

Sorem.9157:

Well at least we didn’t get kitten on I’m happy to see that arenanet is concerned about greatsword, even though i think those buffs still wont make it viable on pvp.

I’ve always thought the role of GS should be to burst down 1-2 targets (in PvP) by about 30-50% of their HP depending upon how well you use it. I’m hoping it does just that now.

Why don’t you think it will be viable? What should be changed?
-I already think that GS #2 needs to lose its movement speed penalty!

@toaster messiah

I agree! ANet is focusing on things that have been doing well and the skills/traits that aid their success. Mace should be faster… I think that would be a good start. Spirit Weapons should be like Engi kits. We should equip them and gain access to spiritual weapon skills different from the normal weapon version we have. I could see that being a GREAT class mechanic. There’s more I could say, but yeah, I agree

This might be the profession Revenant bandwagons jump to :^)

To add bullet points use "* "

There is diversity, but I’d argue that some of those builds are not very good for the role they fill. That is debatable, but I just wanted to put that out there.

I’ve been rocking as a Guardian going on five years, and it’s been very enjoyable. I always feel like I can do something, even if it may not what I want to do at first

Guardian

Improvements to underused base skills have been the general focus for the guardian in this patch, but we are also giving the dragonhunter specialization a little bit more counterplay in PvP scenarios. We’ve unsplit a few of the changes introduced this winter, taking either the more powerful option or compensating to a more powerful level than is available in most game modes.

• Virtue of Resolve: This skill has been unsplit from PvP and will now use a 30-second cooldown.
• Virtue of Courage: This skill has been unsplit from PvP and will now use a 45-second baseline cooldown.
• Signet of Courage: This skill has been unsplit from PvP and will now use a 120-second cooldown.
• Spear of Justice: The casting time of this skill has been increased from 0.25 seconds to slightly under 0.75 seconds.
• Deflecting Shot: The missile hitbox has been improved.
• Whirling Wrath: Reduced recharge from 10 seconds to 8 seconds. Increased damage by 20%. Projectile damage is now listed separately from melee damage.
• Leap of Faith: Reduced recharge from 15 seconds to 12 seconds.
• Symbol of Wrath: Increased damage by 22%.
• Binding Blade: Reduced recharge from 30 seconds to 25 seconds.
• Purification: The trap heal on this skill has been reduced by approximately 16% in PvP only.
• Litany of Wrath: The recharge of this skill has been reduced from 30 seconds to 25 seconds.
• “Receive the Light!”: The recharge of this skill has been reduced from 40 seconds to 30 seconds.
• “Feel My Wrath!”: The quickness duration granted by this skill has been increased from 5 seconds to 8 seconds in PvP only.

ANet needs to separate ranked into two options: Solo and Team Queue. Solo queue means you queue alone & team queue means you queue as a party of 5

Good luck man. I saw them post about this on Facebook. #DoingBigThings

Nice. Can’t wait to see what changes

You are the MAN, Ben

Any new news, Ben?

IF it turns out Yes wins… Please make sure that classes are distrubted evenly among the teams. No team should have two eles…

Stand The Wall.6987:

good stuff.
definitely NEED #1.

I’m very surprised this has not yet been added.

I feel like people will be less inclusive of others. They can now shun/shut people off that don’t fit their DPS requirements. I understand the reason behind why someone would do that, but I don’t think it’s right. Let’s see how the PvE community is in a couple of months. I could be wrong

Can’t wait to find out the reason why

I’m very interested in seeing the widespread repercussions of ANet allowing certain types of DPS meters. A buddy of mine has already experienced “DPS discrimination”. Whether this will be a positive or negative thing… Only time will tell

I can’t see anyone using rifle in PvP seriously

Yes, I play LB + Sword/Shield… It’s very good. I feel like Mesmer can’t mess up a whole lot in that matchup unless the DH is average/bad OR uses their condition cleanses at the wrong time. I’ve fallen victim of cleansing too early

It takes a lot of confidence in your ability to play Mesmer to feel comfortable fighting a DH IMO. I like Mesmers current playstyle. There are times where I’ve thought to myself, “dang it, they have a Mesmer!”

master.1607:

I love it. Great design and i have not any camera issues. There is no more teleport to roof or hide behind the window wall. Pure pvp ofcourse not for terrian slackers

There’s still ways to use the terrain, but it’s not as absurd as before

The most probably reason why LB is used so much is because it is Wars best (?) ranged option. It’s almost mandatory to have some sort of ranged option to avoid a lot of skills in the game

I believe in you guys, Ben!! Fix the titles

Reaper Alim.4176:

Sound nice and all on paper until you come to terms with the fact that the current PvP population in GW2 is just sooo small.

This is all that needs to be said. We need more players before even considering a gamemode that require more than 10 people. I already see the same people as it is. This is another reason why I want solo & team queue to be seperated
