Willbender - New Guard Spec itself worth whole expansion

[ugrakarma.9416]

im speechless, im main heavies(warr-guard-rev), so that thing have coolest movesets.

 

i  have dropped for while my burn guard, and dont like firebrand concept or playstyle.. i guess willbender will be a good oportunity to make a cool burn guard where u can apply burn without holding a book on hand, but just using your weapon.

 

Of course there already river of cry by pvp/wvw crouds, some asking for nerfs even befoure launch, and others saying is "underhelming", my suggestions is: dont hear them - dont touch it. How manys professions are ruined before to attend these crowds obscession with "perfect balance"? i know that summoners are already forbidden in this game(so nerfed to the ground) due to passionate hate that pvpers have for summores.

I wish they overhauled Sword 3 for Guardian. I remember discovering Sword 3 when I started playing the game for the first time and thinking it looked cool. But it's just not a great spell, especially in PvP. 

To be fair that's not a guardian specific statement. Many weapon skills that were created 9 years ago feel seriously outdated and that's why many weapons are just completely dead.

They need to delete some & replace them with innovative and well thought out alternatives.

Axe Warrior is screaming for help.

 

Is most game, a Axe/Axe wielder has a bloodthirst style, but in GW2 the moveset and even sounds are weirds.

Looks at WvW forum

 

There is one thread on the willbender with 7 replies since yesterday, the last 5 hours ago.

Such a river.

Personally, I don't listen to the nerf posts on Guardian in PvP/WvW because at the moment the only viable build in PvP is trapper rune DH. I think that minority of the GW2 community asking for nerfs on this profession should really stop asking for Guardian to not be a viable pick in PvP because the reality check says otherwise and I as a Guardian main have experienced it personally.

Looking at the numbers in the GW2 trailer I don't think this E Spec is going to be a top 1 damage dealer, because it's trading damage and defensive cooldowns for mobility and hopefully the penalty trait on toughness will help giving it a high risk high reward performance as damage dealer.

Guardian deserves to be a viable pick in PvP and WvW outside it's current Meta builds

I'm genuinely enjoying what I've seen so far with the first 3 E-Spec previews. If they make the other E-Specs as enjoyable as these ones, I'm defo gonna preorder the expac once I've gotten all other expenses out the way.

I really don't see Willbender as a nerf target honestly. It will be a pain to fight against but that's all (in theory).

 

Meanwhile the Necro, oh dear.

My suggestion is to finally build the fences high enough to make all game modes disconnected from each other, but that's too obvious of a solution for anet i guess. PvP crowd cries about everything new though since they need to adapt to new meta and they don't like that, so that's no surprise.

Ive thought they should have split all the skills into pvp/wvw/pve varietys since the game launched. So many unnecessary nerfs that hurt classes in PVE, due to the two competitive modes.

 

Its more skills to balance, but each class(and certain dead builds) would be able to be built up depending on the mode they are in.

We have just taken the first look at 3 out of 9 new elite specs. A first look before we may even test them, of course, they would appear busted for everyone at the start. Let's test them out with 3 trait lines and some different stats.

Will we see a shift in a meta? We will. Will we see nerfs before the release? Probably.

It's not the time to panic yet (for that go kill some octovines). Firebrand is probably still very much alive in group PvE content with this one running around. Certainly no panic on this side.

They just made sure Guardian can do absolutely everything closing with this spec. Hopefully they will move on to another favourite class from now on

Dont think the willbender looks busted at all tbh its traitline is pretty bad compare to the others.
