Guild Wars 2

As annoying a power or burn DH is, they’re still not bad to kill. I’m sure it’s the quality of players I’m going up against but they can’t handle the pressure.

I’m not sure Mesmers are in an entirely good spot right now.

The problem is that the match making changes from season to season.

Stop changing what has worked over many years – your team is not that smart.

They do this everyday…

What 5 second passive does guardian have?

“Geronimo!” or “Sacagawea!”

Oh, didn’t realize that. It’s been a while since I’ve last played, my mistake.

I feel like we go through cycles of different posters like the OP who come here and make the most clueless posts. They just post complete nonsense.

So do you think Echo of Memory needed to be nerfed? Knowing that it hurts both power and condi builds? Similarly the nerf to RI, well that trait probably needed some form of nerf, but this just unfairly hurst core mesmers because they won’t have access to IR and chronophantasma. There are some people here that feel that even though we probably needed some nerfs, the ones we got were in the wrong places

I honestly think 35 is fine for getting 6s of blocking. Warriors have 25 and Engineers have 30 but they can’t use their ability back to back. 35s for EoM is probably where it should have been from the get go. Although, anything higher than that is over the top.

But I was commenting more on the OP asking for Phase Retreat to have an increased cooldown.

Are you drunk? You seem drunk.

It’s the internet. You can be whoever you want and you’ll have white knights verses trolls verses the other.

This isn’t new to any online game.

You can argue that 1v1 would cause more frustration. After all, who enjoys dying repeatedly?

This game has horrible 1v1 balance so sticking with player run servers is still fine for now.

Jack of all trades.

Rukia.9860:

These changes were based off player feedback, so if it’s anyones fault, it’s ours. ANet is taking a chance and using our feedback to develop, something we’ve been begging for, so let’s see how it goes before the doom and gloom.

I’m all for that but four seasons of disappointment is hard to forget.

We’ll see, though.

Movement: arrow keys

That’s all you need.

Nick Lentz.6982:

I’m leaning more towards anet enhancing current trait lines. I.e. placing a trait line in the bottom slot makes them elite. After what Hot left us, they’ll think twice before making completely new specs.

You’ll definitely see new elite’s with the next expansion.

Phase Retreat is an amazing skill and for you to ask for it to be completely changed shows a lot about your GW2 Mesmer IQ.

I’m not sure why people keep using the phrase, Quality of Life, when referring to clear buffs to existing abilities.

With that said, Ring of Warden to be cast while moving would be nice. Mighty Blow is fine as it is. And third chain should most definitely have a decreased cast time.

The real interesting part is what will happen when they release the next elite and it doesn’t have 25% movement speed increase.

Ring of Warden and Zealots Embrace is how you get away.

I’m sorry to say this, sexual legend, but the world’s are/should probably not happen again.

It looks like you’ll have to take your legend status to another game as you’ve already dominated the real world.

But the “Boonmancer” name doesn’t make any sense for a Guardian/DH.

That won’t make them useful, they’d still be terrible. And the biggest reason is there are much better alternatives and aren’t AI.

Just a hunch, but I can see spirit weapons changing come next expansion. Otherwise, asking for fruitful changes now seems wasted by the design/development team. It could also be a route they don’t want to take Guardians in anymore – use of AI.

Moonsinn.5382:

I like the symbol to be a bit quicker, too. It’s always felt clunky to me.

The only way I get around to doing a quick symbol and not being stuck in animation is stowing weapon as soon as I use GS4.

It is a skill that performs a function and has sequences.

I don’t understand your logic at all. Hitting the sauce a bit early?

F2 needs some sort of counter play. It’s fine as it is today.

Does dodge rolling through it trigger the secondary heal? Or is it whenever the trap is triggered?

DH got nerfed only and you complain?
instead you say “it blocked the nerf”

wat xD

did you even read 1 sentence of the DH patch notes??

rev got nerfed too. so did druid. so “dh got nerfed only” pls actually read the patchnotes next time instead of cherry picking.

you misunderstood me

I didnt meant to say that only DH got nerfed
I wanted to say that DH only recieved nerfs and no buffs (unrelated to the nerfs/buffs to other classes)

fair enough. my apologies. i would like to mention that anet also said gaurd defenses are getting nerfed next balance patch.

Where did they say that?

from the balance patch
“In the next balance patch, we’ll be normalizing some of the dragonhunter specialization’s defensive capabilities while increasing some effects for baseline guardian abilities” normalize is another term for nerf.and if you say “well they did say theyll be buffing other abilities” tell that to the raiding revenant.

I read the notes as them already doing that with this patch.

idk how you got that from “in the next balance patch”

It makes no sense for them to even hint or overtly say what they’re going to do in the next balance patch when they could have done it (and they have) with this patch.

Look at what was changed and you can see that they are talking about this balance patch.

Just a reminder – don’t use “lordofkushweed420sniper69@gmail.com” as your email address on your resume.

There is power creep with regards to the elite specializations but I swear the people who complain about it think damage is increased 500%. It’s actually not that bad.

When they release the next set of elite specializations, we’ll really see if we get power rush or not.

A main-hand pistol where the number 1 skill is a Pistol Whip, 2 is a PBAoE ability (blind/slow/cripple – pick one), and 3 is a fan ability that fires 6 shots but damage is modified based on range. The closer you are, the higher the damage, up until 600 range.

I just want to create a cowboy theme for my Mesmer.

Struct.7453:

After playing DH over the weekend, I humbly retract my previous statement. DH is fine the way it is. Thanks Anet all is well in Unicorn land.

It’s always good practice to play with the changes for a few days before jumping the gun on the patch notes. I’m pretty convinced the people who complain to this day use the arrow keys for movement and keyboard turn.

Three months is fine but I’d expect more out of the balance updates.

Hot Boy.7138:

Thanks, but i’m very experienced and I’m sure I’m playing at a decent or higher skill level.

I bet you do

What game mode are we talking about?

For PvP, they’d still be completely useless.

With the nerf to Purification cast time, I suspect we will see posts about reverting the change, how DH is no longer viable, and that DH is OP.

We are in for some crazy times, that’s for sure.

Ithilwen.1529:

Mad King says: Stealth buff DH, Supersize thief, Kill Mesmer

You’d think you’d learn from your other ridiculous posts that you’re just spilling out nonsense now. How about you read the patch notes first before coming across as uninformed and someone with two left brains?

What were people expecting with the changes to Mesmer? Because it seems like you wanted Mesmer to maintain its current course which we all knew was being nerfed.

Ignore what the OP says. He apparently has a history of posting garbage topics about DH, or anything really, where he can’t use his brain to kill a class.

Arnath.2319:

Once again not a single Spirit Weapon change… this is beyond a joke at this point.

And yet more Signet buffs no one asked for… signets still suck ArenaNet.

Are the devs even trying? Are they listening? This is embarrassing.

The joke on you is thinking Spirit Weapons would ever get changed to be viable.

Exciton.8942:

The meta healer build for tempest is still pretty strong.

But I do think ele needs massive underused trait/skill improvement. The class simply lacks diversity.

You can argue that for all classes.

I guess we’ll see what happens with the balance update. Boon sharing is getting tweaked (read, nerfed) but we’ll see to what extent.

The only way I could see this work is basing it off of what class you queue with and not allowing character swapping when the map loads up.

If that were the case, I’d be totally fine with limiting classes to two, possibly one per team.

Is protection really that big of an issue in WvW? I haven’t played WvW in about two months and at the time it was just a massive condi/burst fest.

So is this in zerg WvW where protection won’t really save you if you’re focused by 5+ or is this in small scale fights?

Toasa.1236:

DH is Balanced:DDDDDDD lol everyone who says that is facerolling over the keyboard and kills most ppls with 0 skill.

DH got way too much survivability combined with blocks.
They even heal up when they fart.

Seeing as how really nothing of importance changed with DH since start of HoT, DH has been balanced compared to the rest of the classes.

But let’s forget that DH got completely shut down by Engineer and Elementalists and kitten near every other class just until last update. At least now DH’s have a fighting chance.

And I’ve been maining a Mesmer for about 3 years now and DH’s are near perfect balanced. It’s the other classes that need tweaking.

Personally, I wish they would give us back the start of recharge upon charging a mantra.
