Sonork.2916 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Should add a homing effect to the projectiles the sword shoots, and have the skill not root you. *Sad Guardian noises* Edited January 4, 2022 by Sonork.2916 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezrael.6859 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Yep. What's the point of a 600 range single target skill that roots you in place if all the projectiles will also miss a player that is moving. That's just a bunch of negatives. They need to speed up the projectiles even more than the measly 33% increase in July 2016, or just make it useable while moving. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonork.2916 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Honestly Anet needs to do a pass on all the classes base weapon skills, give ones that obviously suck or are under tuned some love. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been said many times and in many ways since launch. Ranger's pew pew pew don't root . Neither should this sword3 thing. I don't understand what kind of game breaking consequences that Anet is afraid of. It's single target and it misses half the time, even a dolyak can doge it.

Sonork.2916 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Honestly other than longbow, all guardian ranged options are pretty much the worst attacks in the game in terms of reliably hitting a non stationary target. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richter.9614 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 You think that is bad? What about all those moments when your target was close to a wall or some other object and the projectiles just went over the target for some kittening reason? I don't have any ideas why stuff like that isn't being fixed and balanced. It's almost like that "devs don't play their own game" meme is not a meme but is a pure 100% fact. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arken.3725 Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Zealot's Defense, Leap of Faith, Binding Blade, Orb of Wrath, Zealot's Fire ALL have terrible tracking. Puncture Shot has pretty rough tracking once you get to the 900 range and above, same with Staff auto's. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just make the projectiles track (see: specter’s twilight combo, core necro shroud). It’s really a perfect skill for that to be implemented on imo.

ArchonWing.9480 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I would say something but it'd be easier to list guardian skills with proper tracking. :s 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it looks like you initiated the leap (it has to be a leap to miss so badly) during the evade frames of the dodge. If GS3 is like warrior leaps, thats what the leaps do when you do them on a dodge roll target (be garbage and not connect, and land you to where the target was when you initiated the skill). It would be amazing if this got fixed for all leaps tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The secret to avoid this issue is to NEVER target your enemy when leaping. It's better to leap past them and then whirl. Most of the times you'll land in range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aelska.4609 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 It fails to hit even if the enemy is immobilized 😬 And a little bonus Guards will need some serious QoL update if they want willbender to be competitive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwaihir.1745 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Sword 3, hammer 3, and torch 4 on guardian are hands down the worst projectiles in the game. Guard has to have tradeoffs attached to everything, and apparently, this is considered one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
