I had the same problem in strikes lately, I think it occurred after being merged with other squad. I joined com in strike instance, but then we merged with other group. It kicked us from the instance and upon joining again I had this bug.

I think you're stuck around year 2016 😞

Yep, world is so littered with mechs now it's hard to see anything, putting aside how stupid this spec is.

@Josh Davis.7865 Will the the mechanist incursion be ignored until November? 😞

Thing is the recent buffs were, well pathetic, and didn't help much.

Honestly great bandaid fix, devs please? 😞

Probably something like this? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/835147344311091220/1011405260234969250/crop-cw-mantra-bug.mp4

I've noticed this as well. I more often encounter cWB than cFB nowdays. Well, except I play/prefer cFb myself, since it's not as chaotic and I'm a fan of rotation loops. Right now I see mostly QFBs in the strike/raid wild and sometimes HFB. What I'm afraid of is, we get some nerfs for FB, cause too meta defining (e.g. one of the popular choices for quickness, which is always required x 2 in strikes/raids) and we're kinda done for. Power DPS? meh Condi DPS? meh Support? Meh, cause everything will be way overbuffed I'm already getting laughs when I play DH in raids. Feels sad. Even if in the end I'm in the top dps beating some of the glue eater afk specs.

Changes to Guardian's staff are an absolute joke. No one uses this weapon for damage, and you're nerfing the one skill you really want that weapon for (S4, Empower)? I guess everything that's not HAM has to be super hard to play?!

Where are the sword/scepter changes for Guaardian? 😞 Is power Willbender not a spec anymore?

Prays for DH buffs 🥺. Yay, for not-a-Firday post!

I'd like to hope they share your view, we'll see ^^

Yes, it seems fine in WvW altho I don't play as much recently. Just from time to time and with LB on top of that xD My post was focused mainly on PvE, sorry for lack of insight into other game modes 😕 .

I know this is insane, but the build is fun and I play it since EoD launch. 🙂 Altho it would be nice if there was a possibility of might/fury sharing from Holy Reckoning because right now it looks like it's bugged and doesn't work with Battle Presence.

So just because crowd wants to decapitate, we will kill? I personally love playing support and I find great joy in playing guardian as somehow (I guess it's the name and 2012 class preview videos) it perfectly matches support role. I personally would rather kill off all dps builds, and let it be the best support ever. And you will always get more opinions then people, and the crowd will never be happy demanding blood. Just leave hfb alone, there is ham, druid, maybe boost herald and tempest, so there is more variety, and not everything becomes HAMmered.

In short, don't. First - soon balance will stir things again. Second - I still play DH (it's my fav spec aside tempest since HoT) when I get the chance as it's my comfy and well known build I outperform 90% of people on those broken builds, who just spam stuff off-cooldown and don't understand builds 😛 And playing something I enjoy and know how to adjust to fights is imho more of value. Unless you find fun in learning new 😉

On other hand, if they nerf qfb/hfb too, we will be left with nothing relevant to play, so curb your enthusiasm >.<"

Yup, that's just sad truth. I see many people picture guard in this twisted way. Ele dead, guard op, spreading misinformation, not even playing the class but because someone wrote something on the internet that aligns with their believes, they reprint and spread it. And on top of that, they don't talk about DH/guardian in general now not having a good power spec anymore. Also no one talks about alac willbender being miserable to play on most encounters, especially the ones where boss has invuln. And condi alac also got hit by the Amplified Wrath nerf, so it's even worse on damage now. Thanks, guess I'll play power alac willbender variant, oh wait. It's worse after this patch too. 🤡

Btw, there already was this cool build done by Support Hero that didn't use tome at all, but aforementioned Stoic Demeanor with Sanctuary. I wonder, what if Ashes got reworked into selfish dps skill, for the sake of this argument let's assume it's just gone, and we could re-enter F1 tome with 1 second CD by picking up a trait, maybe reworked Quickfire (matches the trait name in my head perfectly).

But versatility is great and more builds should have this. HAM sure is versatile, but at the same time so AFK, it is sad we have it as comparison. People complain about QFB being too easy, but I personally had some new players who were forgetting to press the 3 buttons on both QFB and HFB, especially when learning new role in raids. Meanwhile we have HAM, where you auto attack for most boons 😞 How did we end up here.

Amplified wrath nerf was a weird attempt at nerfing what, qfb? Now every condi dps spec for guardian is meh on top of power builds being pretty depressing.

Cool, that's a good start. PS: please don't forget to address the epilepsy-triggering animation flashes on mecha https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/vnqeuz/epilepsy_and_seizure_warning_mechanist_animation/

I wish you could cast Signet of Mercy while moving tho, it's so easy to interrupt. Edit: you actually can now! 😮

After recent pandemonium I decided to finally ask this, I'm not even hoping it will ever reach devs, but let's go. I've spent give or take 2k hours on DH in open world, fractals, raids and such. Out of variety of gw2 classes and specs I've enjoyed DH and Tempest the most, and played Guardian & Ele since 2012. Recent changes to Dragonhunter, especially Procession of Blades (February 28, 2022) made me ask many questions, which I'll just compile to this one post below. From my perspective this is a change which while on paper seems pretty harmless (CD lowered, damage lowered, so should be fine, right) in practice just made my game-play experience miserable after years of enjoying butter smooth DH rotation. Anyone who's played this spec know that you want to align your trap with F1, but now they are in de-sync, cause cooldowns changed. A similar thing happened a while ago (May 11, 2021) with GS4 symbol and it's pairing with weapon swaps + GS2. It's no longer this cool loop, that you can adjust and align with phases on some bosses, it feels miserable. Why did you do it, just why? If it was "too much" damage in certain bracket, damage numbers are easy to change. No need for smoke screens. To me it seems people adding those changes to the game are never really playing it extensively. And it's just one of many doubts I have. Please Anet, convince me it's not that bad. 😿 I have lost faith, especially now, after seeing the recent patch preview. Let's have more violets, less violence Antina
