Guild Wars 2

RodOfDeath.5247:

in addition, absolutely no pvers influencing the vote.

that’s a great mindset you got going on.

on topic, I would prefer anet kept things simple as before. why fix what isn’t broken?

dagger isn’t a melee weapon (2 of the auto attacks are projectiles actually).

warriors still bring banners but that’s about it, they offer no other kind of utility and are easier to play than say a 11k hp zerk ele/guardian/thief.

anet would never remove PS, who even remembers what blast finishers and combo fields are?

Fashion Mage.3712:

Deserved every nerf it got.

you mean a heal that required the enemy step over a invisible aoe was overpowered?

whisper josre if you need help with staff pvp

it can work, you just need practice

awesome boonstorm.

SY is okay in T4 fractals, that’s about it. if anything should be reworked the devs should swap rev and guardian base HP because rev has more uptime on resistance, invul, dodges/evades and blocks.

Gokil.2543:

Will we get entire weapon sets revamped like our guardian friends?

not sure if serious or what but guardian weapon skills are garbage and just a imitation of other class weapons.

Just categorize shelter as a meditation.

the trait was probably intended for groups that stack to offset some of the damage from retaliation or keep up scholar buff. even if you stack healing power it does very little.

problem is it’s low HPS and retaliation from some enemies doing 400+ a tick make writ of persistance only useful for hammer dps zeal builds and lazy cleaving/aoe.

fractals, where using your weapon skills is frowned upon.

core guardian needs a major overhaul, symbols need a rework to something more flexible in a game that stresses mobility and dodging, weapons need to be looked at (more shield CD buffs incoming). perhaps devs can also swap the base HP with rev since rev has more uptime on dodges, evades, blocks and defensive boons such as protection and resistance.

Unkillable bunker guardians

oh wow, that made me laugh.

for buffing core guardian and shouts. I still use these despite DH/traps being the new kid on the block with his fancy 1000g white t-shirt.

gotta love all these people saying you need ‘optimized’ builds to clear the current content.

everything is viable in pve if you understand how the mechanics of the game/bosses work as the person in this video showed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hWEIQkbfayo

really almost died from laughter reading some of these posts simply because OP found a build that worked for him.

I add every baddie who feels the need to exploit to progress through content in my ignore list and sure as heck my ignore list is huge.

ofc make your own groups called ‘exploiting already easy and boring pve content’ and I won’t join. so in the end everyone wins but mossman.

reminder not too long ago mesmer had one of their most powerful GM traits made BASELINE.

staff is the best condi weapon if used right.

smite condition, one of the strongest skills in game getting a buff.

okay.

you’re just going to have to accept this and move on.

Diamond skin – each tick of a damaging condition gives you 1 second of resistance (1 sec ICD).

hue

what’s so special about tempest FA ele?

why sigil of air? rage lets you get more autoattacks in while your rotation is down = dps increase?

use smite condition

you gotta pay to win my boys.

edit: or rather pay to run.

spam your blinds

I made a funny!

Arcane Power (instant cast):
Your attunements are recharged, in addition you break all CC and movement impairing effects while gaining quickness, stability and resistance for 3 seconds. (60 sec cd)

Superior Condi Pressure with Physical Pressure in one Amulet is too much.
Its not that its OP or something, its just better than any -damage- amulet, also it hard counters Druid, which may lead to Ranger extinction for next year again.

I completely disagree. Burst can easily kill anyone running Viper if people actually bothered to focus them.

You disagree that Viper Rev hard counters Druid?

What’s wrong with hard counters? Thieves get hard countered by DH, Scrapper, Tempest, and druid.

Hard counters shouldn’t exist.

staff is the best burn condi weapon for guardian but why does anet put staff trait in honor line?

honestly.

sword #3 doesn’t block projectiles.

Rodzynald.5897:

I think it should make us immune to any form of CC after being CC’ed instead of granting aegis (by immune I mean that only one CC thrown at us would be neglected, this would shield us from being CC locked).

there’s this thing called stability and guardians can give it to people in an aoe. . .

I thought DS being OP was a meme the pvp forum created when condi necro/ranger/warrior was a thing.

well if guardian gets a 25% movespeed trait maybe necro should get vigor on crit, invulnerability, blocks, ect.. actually, how about anet just remove what makes something strong or has a clear weakness and give everyone everything. this way no one can complain about not having a 2nd set of armor with a non damage oriented runeword for that ultra competitive open world pve content or wvw.

Warscythes.9307:

Granted fear me is underpowered

wat?

this is the same guy who didn’t know engineer could solo stack 25 might for a group and calls himself engineer main.

ha

You linked a guide on “How to Wreck Your DPS”

your call m8, anet gave you the choice of 25% movespeed or 175 power. there is also http://battle.net if you want everything instantly and now.

it’s like when Blizz released DKs and they were topping DPS over rogues and warriors while still having superior self healing and tanking.

why are there no ‘warrior op’ threads when evis hits harder and scales better than backstab?

I think we might need a guardian OP thread since Mighty Blow is just an aoe backstab!

you heard it here folks. 3k crits op.

how can any class compete with that?

azmodey.4576:

Speaking about backstab ! Why the hell thieves can inflict 5k if it crits damage every 5 secs if they can stealth then move behind their opponents then land a strike that crits then wait for revealed finish then stealth….
1k dps ! Too OP !

haha

Everything and anything is viable in pve. Someone killed lupi with only their dodges.

how do you bunker with AH?

Virtues are fine imo but was the range nerf needed?

isn’t iceshards the highest dps autoattack scepter has?

Couldn’t continue the ending? That’s one of the best songs ever and goes well with elems.

Engineers are the strongest faceroll class in the game, it’s how I got to rank 2 in soloq some time ago.

why would you want to nerf a class with the lowest base HP and armor in game?

heals don’t crit.
