Absolutely not. Even putting the side the argument that it's anti-thematic for rangers as much as a thief with scepter, it's redundant with long bow and short bow for both direct and condi damage. I'd go with dual swords instead.

Yeh, got kicked out when BG keep was at seige.

You god---- right you will get some hate. And here's some. I can't stand the kind of people go around into every class forum and say nerf this nerf that. What do we have ? Nerf mesmer because too much stealth, too much condi. Nerf guardians because too good at several things at once. Nerf warrior because too high bust. Nerf necro because too tanky, too much condi. Nerf thief because that thing stealth 24 hours a day. Nerf engi because those bubbles and barriers are non-stop. Get real, will ya? what's next? just do auto-attack from now on? or perhaps you will cry foul on the auto too? If things look too easy, congrats, you just killed some noob. if you got owned by SB easily, learn their rotation. Rangers are annoying, but I can take on a SB any day. Didn't those poor SB some massive nerfs recently, no pet switches. What were they before? gods? never heard of it.

Nothing much else to elaborate on the tittle. Do you all think there would be Gen III for legendary set in upcoming expansion?? Preferrably no cutesy toyish stuff that fit other types of games better, like the Sims. Seriously, who brings a fish tank or a birthday cake to fight world-destroy dragons. Gen2 took 2 expansions to show full face.

Can't argue that guardian sure sure does alot more things. But I mean, what guardian espec has to do with comparison between core warrior and its elite specs.

I feel like the damage nerf to CC skills need to be reconsidered on case by case basis. They did a full spectrum nerf that was really meant for some particular overperforming skills but other skills in good standing got caught in the net.

I just started to play my warrior again that I created years ago as a mule, on and off for while. Out of boredom maybe. Anyways, I find the new core warrior ...more elite than any of the elite specs. I dislike how all elite specs refuse the warrior of stage 3 burst skill.Strength is almost mandatory with crazy buff in damage, up to 21% buff .Discipline is mandatory QOL I feel like.That leaves either an elite spec, or any of the rest of the core trait lines. I find either tactics or arms offer better incentives than any of the elite lines. Spellbreaker offers a second burst but limited to level 1 adrenaline, their traitline is kinda meh.Berkserker feels off. The 300 toughness penalty doesn't feel justifiable vs. any incentives the trait line has to offer.I understand my experience with warrior is limited after all the recent updates, but is this what you all feel about warrior or am I missing something about the 2 elite specs?

Next Elite spec should be Dual dagger guardian who burns the cr--- out of you with passive virtue of justice through super fast attack speed and a symbol that pulses resistance so he can stab enemy in peace.

Played this game since day 1 here. Not a single precursor dropped. My one and only precursor-level drop is one day some random guy sent me 400g for no reason.

Off topic a little, I love how Anet uses the same word "magic" for both magic and magic energy/power (or mana or spiritual energy etc... take your own rpg/comics). Magic typically refers to the spell itself or whatever act that causes ... uh...magical effect , i.e " she is performing a magic". Magic power fuels the act of magic. And here we have "Absorbing the dragon's magic" ? I chuckled a little. Anet still lives in the comic age of He-man, where writers are in primitive stage of imagination that cannot distinguish between magic and magical energy/essence . Sure sympathizer can come up and defend them with "well, they can define their own term you know". Wouldn't it make it easier if they just say, X absorbs Y's power.

I reported this post for non-constructive and trolling.

Whiny little. Learn to position yourself. Mesmer has been able to do this since forever, more than one target, and with or without LOS. I'm surprised you haven't target them. Necro with their endless Fears. This game isn't about standing ANYWHERE and just shoot missiles away to win. And if you put yourself in a position you couldn't notice the DH, you probably put yourself in great danger without any plan/observation. WvW is a place unwary noobs can get killed anytime . just delete the comment. Honestly.

Stealth nerf

If you want a pistol, you shouldn't be playing guardians. There's are better thematically correct classes wearing a pistol. What next? a elementalist with a rifle? Get real.

Deflecting shot shouldn't be any longer called deflecting shot. You can't really deflect anything in time with that casting time. By the time you even finish casting, you already ate the entire cast of pewpewpew long bow 2 from ranger, as an example. I thought "deflecting" implies quick-reflex , and what kind of quick reflect is 0.75ish second cast time?

These new numbers they threw at guardian obviously never went through any testing, and I will bet any on that. The result is simply unreasonably disastrous for even a starting point, even children can come up with better number for starter. This is likely the result of most dervs playing warriors and kept getting owned by guardians and here we suffer the vengeance. This is an example of "if it's not broken, don't fix it". I also don't like how they carelessly apply a 0.01 coeff for all hard CC skills. Not all hard CC skills are the same, each of them complements different set of skills sitting on their own unique skill bar, and yet Anet pulled a lazy one-size fit all treatment, rendering more a few builds and weapons completely unusable, Guardian's hammer comes to mind.

I bet you anything all the dervs play warriors. LOL. Look at how they trashed other classes.

They don't. It is all random.

I agree. I kept getting interrupted or spiked while trying to pull off one. It's not a skill, it's a suicide button. Obviously they never tested it. Went in implementation after drawing some numbers from the meeting.

i. LB Auto should get 15% increase damage if it hit only one target.ii. LB 2 beam should be divided into like 3 consecutive piercing beams.iii. The symbol ..i don't particularly hate anything but the boon choice is kinda useless outside of group play, the effect is marginal at best. I prefer might.iv. LB5 the cooldown is harsh. I know the effect is strong, but already paid by the long channeling and rooting and the susceptibility to interrupt/spikes. Doesn't hurt to reduce by like 5 second, no more , no less.

LOL, yeh, they are not even trying right now. I couldn't even log on. Issues will go away if you pretend it's not happening. I give up on trying to play for today.

I know bugs are nothing new to programmers and bound to happen here and there, but this level of bad job is unforgivably embarrassing. It's completely below level of novice. They are completely silent over this. The weekend party must have been pretty crazy. Got a few hours for myself to play and here we are staring at crash screen. You are lucky that you crashed every few minutes, I couldn't even log on.

I got frustrated abit, but the pattern is pretty easy to figure out after a few deaths, lol. When he about to initiate the special, run and stay awayyyy from him. If you attack him during this time window, it's pretty much asking to get killed. reengage only after you finish resisting his pull move. He'll die in no time. No cc needed for me.
