Better off playing core medi or DH tbh.

Whats funny is the reason for guards 11k healthpool is because they have good sustain but willbender has non of that yet they still have too sufer with the low healthpool. Poor understanding of the class tbh.

Imagine complaining about the willbender hahaha

Its an elite thats slow, block by dodging, blinds, aegis, stad, its range is short and if you manage to hit someone with it a simple stunbreaker makes it useless again.

Still not there sadly. My take from a pvp view point. Virtues: Virtues need to be reworked. The synergy with non willbender traits is bad some dont even work (or update the tooltip proprely). Hitting 5 times in a 8 to 6 second span time (specially in pvp) feel really unrewarding theres bearly time to activate it once (since in pvp everyone is always moving) so the payoff is extremely unbalance. The willbender flames struggle to hit anything always they basically do nothing. Tiny aoe with weak effects as a class feature is not great. Physical skills: They are plane and weak sadly. Theres no reason to play the over Meditation skills. They offer no support or ways to keep you alive. They despreadly need a trait just like the meditation skills have to even be consider over a meditations. Also the heal skill doesnt work sometime again. Traits: Still need a lot of work specially the onces that have to do with the virtues the offer low payoff for activating a virtue passive ( since most of the time youll proc it once during a fight ) . We also need a trait for physical skills!! And maybe sword offhand. Damage: Willbender doesnt have it. Off hand lacks it also. Sustain: It also has non. Idk why an elite spec that was strip of all that made guard tanky still has to run around with 11k health, no dmg and low ways to heal themselves. Animations: A lot better than from beta 1 feels a bit more fluid. With a bit more polish they will be perfect. Conclusion: Willbender needs more work on it than what it was done from beta 1 to 4. Edit: I would love to see a change to main hand sword #3 skill to better match the feel of willbender because for a mobile class to get rooted in place for that long is kinda counter productive. Would also like to add that WB isnt all that mobile either. Waisting virtues for mobility is a lost of cooldown when you get to a fight.

Honestly the virtues need to be rewored, hittin 5 time to proc 1 in a 8 sec time frame is horroble! Specially in a pvp setting! Even its mobility isnt good. I always see necs catching up to then no problem.

On the rare cases that nothing is better than something 🤣

L2p issue here.

Atleast its something. Check what pvp is getting! A big bag of F your mode.

The way the rank point syatem works in gw2 plat 2 and up is where most of the Pro/Streamers are so its worlds appart in terms of skill from gold 1.

Weird take but you are not wrong. While it wasnt the only reason it did play a role i the demise of the Pvp Mode. I for one say it was (and still is) more due to bad balancing and the complete abanddonment of the Mode that did it in.

I would say the devs in gw2 are making me miss other mmos

Agree, im still willing to buy it its just im not crazy about the new elite specs so there isnt any other reason to get it atm. They would have to work a lot on the new specs or give us something for pvp for me to buy it.

This is one if not the most balance tier list ive seen. Good job of putting logic into it ( you be suprise how rare that is here lol)

Its not that the pvp dev team doesnt care, its that there isnt a pvp dev team its only 1 guy and all he can do is change the numbers of skills. There only so much he can do and now its worst cuz they have him working on the new elite specs.

If only, sadly the devs havent cared for pvp for years now. Given theit tract record I have zero hopes for pvp in gw2 anymore. Bright side side I save money by not wasting it on EoD.

It needs both. Like every other game mode. Instead we get ignord for years left in a rot.

They just feel out of touch with their own game its weird. It really feels like some of the new elite spec were made by people with bearly any gw2 experience specialy when looking at their traitlines.

1 of the reason we need support from the devs.

Can you atleast lets us know theres something pvp content coming to EoD. I'll take anything even a dev saying the word EoD and Pvp in the same sentence.

Yeah, I would rather have everything be op than everything nerft en boring. If things keep going the way they are we are going to end up all being warriors with only swords poking each other with 1 skill.

Sadly I dont like any. They feel like no though was put into them compare to the first 2. The amount of re-used animations feels a bit lazy and most of the traitlines work agaisnt the classes themselves ( looking at you willybender).

Anet by theselves have "hurt the look" of it more that anything. It takes new players (in pvp) less than a week to figure out that pvp is a @$#%show and thats more anets fault than the player base.

Firebrand?! Did you mean core guard? Firebrand was nerf into the next dimesion in pvp lol.

That's literally complaining about the game lol You keep contradicting yourself, which make me questuon validity of your posts. And I have since beta! So what? That doesnt makes us the only ones that can say anything about this game in the forums.
