I play as Guardian and I just bought Kaiser Snake pistol with normal price from Black Lion because I thought the Super pistol (which i just bought 15 minutes earlier) doesn't work anymore. I was going to make the legendary Hope only for the sound. Luckily I found this topic. But sigh so much gold and money have wasted for a little bug.

Such ability like on trident would great and yeah you try to play with a new playstyle but it seems like there's only one or two viable traitlines. I think valor is still alright compared to Honor, just sad. =( Exactly, I wish anet will do something during this update phase... at least on the weapons that we have been ranting about for so long.

A fan of support build here. After Thief's scepter and now Warrior's staff, I no longer find any reason (or at least a strong reason) to play support build with my Guardian. It's like so many things to do but with so little effect to help others, where Warriors and Thief can do a lot better with just one weapon without even having to change to support build. Yes Guardians do get better offensive updates, but it's just a shame that the support/healing got overshadowed by other offensive classes. Thoughts?

That amazing build is burn condition build which sacrifice a lot of Guardian's defence. It's very good in PvP since you can kill quick. But in PvE especially mobs with high HP, that burn-condi build is not quick enough to kill the mobs. I honestly think Retaliation is not good in PvE, so you can leave that Trait to either Inner Fire or Right Hand Strength. I use the Right Hand Strength trait even if I'm not using a sword. The extra precision does make a difference.I suppose the mobs you and vets that give you a hard time are those with posion arrow type. Since most of the them shoot arrows, having Shield of Avenger is extremely good. And when you use Spirit Weapon skills, Eternal Armory trait is a MUST. So even if you are not fighting against mobs with projectile, the extra dmg from Spirit Weapons' burn is good.Don't use Symbolic Avenger in this map cuz the mobs keep moving around a lot! So it's not effective against them.And maybe you might want to try replacing the Virtue Traits to Meditation, for a little extra condition removing skills and healing. I play in this HoT map a lot because I just love how challenging the mobs are. You need to block, you need to dodge, you need to be constantly active. And this is why I think the build you are using is not effective here.

Just saying... I'm not a fan of that spirit aegis on my arm. Maybe on somewhere else? =p

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before but how does it sound?Some people just like to use the same weapon, like to see that weapon on his character and just don't want to change that. While this is not an issue to Elementalist, I think it is a great idea for a new patch update. Instead of giving the ability to a class to hold a weapon that he was not able to hold before, let him toggle the skills of the same weapon. My imagination is something like: Guardian Staff 1 - [support/range] Guardian Staff 2 - [Melee + 200% Healing power]Ranger Bow 1 - [Range Attack Skills] Ranger Bow 2 - [Magic Arrow Skills]Mesmer Greatsword 1 - [Range Attack Skills] Mesmer Greatsword 2 - [Melee Skills + Defensive Phantasms] I think most people toggle weapons just to substitute cool-down of the current weapon, not to adapt according to situation. Just saying, I think it's just the idea or the visual kinda bothers me.

Ow my god.I feel so lucky I don't play Ele anymore and I don't have to suffer to this. As a guardian player running with Spirit Weapon build... I feel you.Somehow I have a feeling the dev dude secretly changed the name after watching Marvel Avenger. He got so hyped watching the post credit of the movie that he changed the name.
