Honestly dont mind duoQ. I am plat 1-2 usually duo or solo, it doesnt matter. But in a game where one team has 5 players, the idea of duoQ implementation is pretty weird. Imagine if every single player decided to duo with his/her buddy. How will the games work then ? The only reason duoQ works right now is because there are solo players. I know the argument isn't logical cos there will always be solo players, but there is still this "what if " which questions Anet's idea for introducing duoQ.

Just get an axe and rotate. Who cares about off-meta. Just rotate !!! :D

OP is talking about symbolbrand that is plaguing the meta right now, not a condi dps FB and everything they stated is true about the build's damage and sustain. Its not some mythical build if you actually look at the post and not spam blindly..... Maybe the part about 6 second slow every 10 sec is not completely accurate, probably a bit less.

I am not sure what is the “buff.” signet of mercy was better with healing power. What Anet said is flat out false. Only FB dishes much boons (other guardian options do not), and is much better served with healing power over concentration. In any case, it does not matter, signet of mercy only role is the instant revival. Lost the 10% revive speed for the equivalent of nothing. And the only interesting change, courageous return, is only 1 sec in PvP (basically useless), and valor is not used by FB anyway, and DH and core are pretty dead in PvP. Overall, insignificant, but surely more of a nerf. Support Fb does use Valor so it's the only build that got buffed from all these changes. It also gets the benefits from the mace 3 buffs.

Why does the trait Zealous Blade from zeal does not have any other buff other than the extra power and cooldown reduction for greatsword skills ? Just looked at every other greatsword related traits in the game and found that all of them has some kind of secondary bonus to them. Warrior has 50% might gain chance on critical hit, Ranger has fury gain on disabling a foe and Mesmer has cripple on greatsword skills. So, why does only guardians have no other bonus on this trait ? Please look at this because its clearly inferior compared to the other traits in its group.

I hope Anet doesn't make these changes right away after seeing all the negative reactions on the fall damage and signets change from the majority of the player base. In my opinion the fall damage traits should be left as it is and if there are still buffs needed to the trait, do it on the other bonus it has. Personally, i feel these traits are in a good position and doesn't affect the balance of the game in any manner so, better leave them untouched.

Is there going to be an Internal cooldown for this new Courageous Return trait ? I see this is going to be an issue since Firebrands can put out constant aegis and thus having perma protection uptime. It should probably have a 12 second cooldown which pretty much goes in line with Guard counter trait of spellbreaker since full counter has a 12 sec cooldown.

I dont see why the fall damage had to be removed. Not like you gave us anything new for taking that away. Now this is gonna affect the players who likes jumping puzzles where we cannot use mounts or gliders. I always used to trait for falling damage reduction while doing a JP just to avoid the risk of falling and dying. I mean, it wouldn't really hurt for it to be there especially since we're not getting any other additional bonus for the trait. Just my thoughts

@guest.9472 You are just sad that you got kicked out of the discord server because of all your spamming. No one really paid attention to you when you were craving for it and instead you just got kicked. Now here you are, putting out your rage like a baby in here lol. Go cry somewhere else.

It's true that FBs are good at tanking and supporting. Good FBs can easily 1v3 average players and keep shitting out aegis and other boons. But that makes FB the only viable guardian spec. Imagine a bruiser core guard. The so called "insane healing" comes from that only valor trait and guards are stuck with that for life. If that is taken away then u have no heal, even less compared to other classes. Also virtues are outdated. f3 only blocks a single attack with aegis and thats a 45 cd skill which is a joke. So, yes....guardian would be much better with a higher hp pool and in no way will be broken. FBs can still have the lower pool....

I mean, look at what level Holo is on right now. The damage it puts out with leadership runes and demolisher amulet in pvp is clear proof that other classes have the same sustain and damage like guardians but more hp

To think that this idea was actually implemented shows us that there isnt anyone in the balance team who has the brain of even a 4 year old. I am just mind blown. I mean, its okay to make unique shatters (making distortion and CS into one was dumb anyway) but why add this restriction ? Its what mesmers are and sometimes there are desperate needs for these shatters that can change an outcome. Seriously, there was no thought given on this change.

LMAO, i knew this restriction was gonna destroy chrono. Mesmers need the shatters for survival and offence. Adding such a dumb clone restriction just cripples the profession as a whole. gg Anet and RIP chrono.

Core guard was one of the classes that could compete in high levels with the new power creeped elite specs. So, they just wanna nerf it to the ground which might make F2P account holders who are competitive to get the PoF version that holds the op specs so that they can have an easier time than playing dead core specs. More monies for Anet :)

As you can see, this bug has been happening too often and to a large number of PvPers. Why not try to make a good attempt to fix it ? I got stuck yesterday. Couldn't que for the rest of the day since the que buttons weren't responding when i click it. This is the 3rd time this bug has happened to me and I am not even a full-time PvP player. I only do PvP once or twice a week. Please do a better work at fixing this bug.
