Spartacus.3192 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 when CMC wrote 4-6 weeks balance cadence and even 4-6 MONTHS claiming a mistype would have been nice.....Wonder if he meant every 4-6 YEARS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It totally depends on your view of what "consistent" means.If you want p3 or MAT, then you gotta play the meta. No matter how stinky it is.If you want to just have fun in ranked, you could always do p1-p2 PERMA CONSISTENTLY with B-tier builds.Unlike ex. thief, guardian is just ultra allround good on most builds, so idk why you specifically lack a dps build. Theres always been plenty of power and condi guardians in my p1p2 games over last 4 years, with support being the meta most of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuma.1503 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I'm not going to say Guard isn't in a rough state right now. I don't know enough about the specialization to call it one way or another, but from my expereince, core power guard does pretty good with Valkyrie amulet and rune of thief. The condition damage doesn't even go to waste since even power guard outputs some burns. WIth retal and fury, which are easy to maintain, you're sitting at a comfortable ~65% crit chance with 20k hp. Downside is you lack swiftness... My build runs retreat to compensate for that weakness (on demand aegis acts as a mini-dodge whenever you need it + retal and fury uptime).Damage is good. I don't feel the slightest bit squishy, I've got enough movement and ports to stick to my targets. (unless it's a thief... but, y'know, that's thief). I say give it a try.Build I run: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PWwAEx3lVwuYgsPGJOSL9LbA-zZAPkMVB9KESYC4pB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st elmos fire.2987 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Boyce has been playing power DH and hes in high plat consistently. Hes not the only one I know in high plat with that build.

otto.5684 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 @Trevor Boyer.6524 said:Guardian is performing fine lately.It's just no longer capable of running a full sustain build while dropping massive aoe burn damage all over the place, which shouldn't have been happening to begin with.You guys have got to understand that you're coming off a top tier high where your builds were OP for quite some time. It is normal for other classes to have to sacrifice sustain and dedicate utility slots to burst utility if you want to deal damage. It is normal for a build that deals damage to have points where it is vulnerable and easily killed if it does bad positioning or misuses skills.When the only semi viable dps build runs a power oriented elite with condi amulet and the support build does not use FB, heavy support elite, something is seriously fucked up in design. You could argue performance is okay, but when not single thing works as intended, this is not a functional class in spvp. This applies in every aspect of spvp right now, but I think guardian and Mesmer current state is a clear indication that the dev team have no fucking clue what they are doing.

Burn dh had really low sustain and almost no mobility but big aoe condi dmg. He didn't say DPS guardian was fine. He said guardians fine. The fact you beelive you have to be meta to reach plat however Is funny. There are plenty of guardian players in plat. @Exile.8160 said:@"Kodama.6453" said:Guardian does have a meta build, why do you think it is necessary for a dps build specifically to be meta for them?Other classes are happy that they have a meta build at all, yet guardians complaining "we don't have enough meta builds"....Why is it bad that we want to deal dmg too? Instead of being hard stuck on a support, bunker or healer build 24/7? Atleast other classes with 1 meta build ends up a fun dps build. See the diffrencens? Playing a dps is so diffrent than being hard stuck on a support build. Ive seen post that want buffs to other classes yet when we guards do it we are greedy? This is really opinonated every class lacks something in some field of play realistically. Condi engineer is just one example that comes to mind. The reason I didn't pick a guardian. Is because it's the most tank/support fantasy possible. Like the name itself realistically gives it a way realistically. There's nothing wrong with some classes having things other classes don't have. Providing every class fits in somewhere realistically. We will never have a mmorpg which is balanced to the point every choice is open to every class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
