GF shield radius protection is way too wide it as to be tone down by 15% because at the moment when you outplay them they still are shield protected (immune) for practically 360 degrees around theme and due to the high DPS and stun they gain combine in no way of dodging it, GF are not balance and bad for PVP.
By toning down there shield radius protection by 15% it will add difficulty to there playing and be more possible to fight with them.
I don't say that GF shield is 360 degrees but that he is (immune) for practically 360 degrees. The speed GF can move gives them the closing gap of their shield for a complete 360 degrees protection and he’s near impossible to attack in 1 x 1 PVP. The only way is to get them when they attack, but good GF will only attack when they can’t be avoid and strike you prone and stun.
Base black should be moved to 180 degrees. Tact should up it to 270 like it is now, and protection up to 360 degrees on the capstone. Conq has the dps, so should not block as well, tact is hybrid so thats what it should do, and prot tanks need a block that works all the time, since they do pretty <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> damage anyway.
(1) the total disablement of the padlock(hardlock) function in PvP.
(2) enforcing max camera distance/angle
Artificial/auto aim assist has no place in PvP. In PvP you aim manually, target manually. Confusing the targeting with stuff like enemy tanks jumping into your line of sight to protect their own, many enemies grouping/bunching up to confuse exact targeting point or location, fast movements and teleportations and stuff to confuse your manual tracking, quick movements to the flank to attempt to make you lose sight of your foe...
...all of these are vital and relevant PvP player skill categories which makes or breaks your gameplay. This is all null and void when you use auto-target lock with the warped/far camera angle some folks are using which you can even see your near behind angles, which is a needless crutch.
Stop making excuses. Be a man. If you know something to be broken, stop using it. Otherwise, you've got no right to be speaking of 'balance.'

Why because youre BAD for PVP every GF must suffer???
LEARN TO PLAY SCRUB
You dont even post what your experience is... which class are u and why do u have problems beating GF...
Again in all my years ive played PVP nobody has ever qq about our SHIELD... its the very first time some guy post a request like this...
MODERATORS please erase this TOPIC as NERF topics are not ALLOWED.
And OP learn to play and stop crying in the forums.
Peace
I see few problems with too powerfull buffs in pvp. For GF i would point ITF. It gives you all, move speed advantage, gigantic dmg buff (your biggest burst tool Macjae), stamina regen (this should go away, it should be a tradeback not dmg and survival tool at the same time), AP gain.... Few classes have buffs with the same caliber. It should be halved in pvp., I started topic about that with no reponce from community.
The visual indicator wont work because of latancy and the difference between client-server-client... Many times I got cc when I thought I was safe
For now not including Paladin, GF is the most Op class in game. Luckily for us- there is only few good GFs but nobody can stand against them. I have no idea about normal GF's dmg becouse those best are using WoE which works the best for them from all classes becouse only GF can neutralize his foe rotation and land his own with 100% effectiveness if he know how to play. Of course this rotation means death and even if you will missed 1 rotation- you have shield so you can repeat it again and again becouse you can have almost perma shield. Hard to say what can be changed- dps for sure, maybe it is time to return to mod3 when GF with raised shield was moving like "turtle".
PS. i was talking about GFs from mod5 but like always there was answers like this" You complaing about GF? you are nob CW if you can't kill GF". Now with mod 6 GF's buff, they will be nightmare for all
The truth is that im realy scared that when devs start tweeking gfs dmg they will nerf base dmg. And then the only way to do any dmg would be mandatory to use ITF... I preffer they put itf under pvp depression (and other powerfull party buffs from other classes) and adress fire wheel.
This solution would also in a way adress the biggest problem that pvp has, paladins...
Pve and pvp versions of skills should be separated. Or tenacity should be reworked, to reduce scale of spike damage in more appropriate way. Oh wait not gonna happen.
Thank you for making this thread, i had some things i wanted to say and did not because i was afraid but you have given me the courage to express my self:
OBVIOUSLY
GF shield is too wide
TR stealth is too transparent
GWF unstopable makes him bigger (also he cannot stop)
CW encounter in tab does more damage
HR bow has long range
SW curses you (i want to see whether its against ROC for someone to curse you)
OP auras affect everyone in the party , not just him
so please do something bout these things

I can't believe you folks are complaining about the GF... really
GF isnt OP, cant stun you all the time :P their knock - bull charge is easier to dodge/sprint. Maybe they deal way too much damage but who isnt? All PvPers run with wheel atm, deal crazy Big D Damage. Try to fight as GWF against BiS CW, he will melt you-armored warrior- in seconds just kiting around. GF shield isnt great, it can drop without reason. Compare it to blinking CW with tabbed shield or stealthed TR or immortal pally spamming DP+binding...

They dont complain about GF per se, only the latest class that
1st: they dont understand their mechanics
2nd: know their class better than them
3rd: outplayed and/or outgeared them and they have a grudge
4th: pawned them mercilessly in some scenarios and they think it applies in 100% of the cases
ROFLMAO.
MacJae of a known pvp guild( 7k gs scrubs) and Obsydian (BractTwoFen) the two most whining wizards ever graced the floor of any MMo ever,they ask again for GF nerf.
Lol
When i was more young at this game i tend to repsect the guys that were belonging to a famous pvp guild or that posted a lot.
I don't anymore.The reason?
These two criers are the best examples.Whining all he time with no data whatsoever.
Spreading propaganda and misinformation.You would think people that pvp a lot would be serious.These two are the
1)the most liars on the entire server.Cause Obsydian has posted a video where he melted in succesion for 6 (!) times the Absolute's GF and GWf.While his hp bar stayed at 90%.
While the other liar,Lucy Loyalar aka Mcjae is in top page of NCL and page 6 of total leaderboard.That means he melts anyone with ease.
Yet both cry so hard that Niagara is a little stream before them.
0r
2)The most incompetent CWs ever.Cause if you cry too much and have the gear that they have,and play the most broken class ever graced any MMO,NW Cw (tankiest than the tank and 5x the damage) and have problems killing the slowest class of all ,then uninstal the freakin game.
ROFLMAO.
To the point noiw:
360 degrees..ROFLMAO !The guy confused GF with OP!!! Ha ha !Epic!!
270 degrees ..same
GF shield is 180% degrees Ainsteins.
As for the GFs that participated in t the thread and said things like (ehhhh yes,,ehhh ...ITF is problem..)
or (ehhh....;.I am top GF ehhh but...eh..nerf our move speed) ,i have something to say to you!
SHOW SOME BALLS TO THE WIZZARDS GOD DAMN IT!!!
You capitulated before even the fight!
No!!Our ITF is Fine!!And our movement speed is fine!!
You think by playing the good will cause these two [pathological criers and whinners to stop?
They will never stop asking for nerfs ,they just want to have an easy time.
SlickHair and Kruk i respect you ,you both are very good GFs ,a shine to the GF community.Fight the damn CW criers and not capitulate to them.
Edit:CWs should no longer IGNORE 66% of TENACITY CC.
CW shield makes them tankier than GFs and need adjustment.
CW encounters nned longer cooldawns.
CW EOTS in mod6 need adjustment to new stat curve.
CW dodges should no longer provide damage immunity for a while second(!) after.
Edit2:
I forgot rayrdan top TR and HR crying again against Gfs.You want your easy time mod3 style ray?
While Combat HRs were putting GF/GWFs in mellee dust in 4 secs?
For the record Rayrdan in the past claimed that Gfs do 100k lunging strikes...Ponder and wonder his credibility..These 3 are the Gf accusers.MacJae ,Obsydian and rayrdan.One worst than the other.

YET...
+1000 to this thread and kudos to @ hypervoreian for his spirit
Mod 4 buffs gave GFs the defensive tools they needed. Mod 6 buffed us into awesomeness, but right now we are too awesome. I enjoy the QQ tears from 4.5k wallet warriors like ByTheLight (I think I've killed that dude 20 of his 50 times, which is actually hilarious because he accussed & ticketed by for exploiting despite his infinite daily/blinding light/TW combo due to a KNOWN exploit in Echoes and Aura of Vengance) as much as the next guy but some things are no longer conceptually okay.
GF block movespeed and Pally Sanctuary movespeed both need to be reduced, sanctuary more so than block. And yes, the shield is ~270 degrees which is fine..
I remove the insults, ok. But my opinion still stands.
What is overpowered and i believe we can all agree on it, is the Wheel of elements and the lostmauth set bonus. Take these two things away and you have your mod 3 GF that cannot defend itself, so you can feel good for steamrolling them on your easy to play, fotm classes, again.
BUT OH WAIT! The two classes that make the best use of these two overpowered items are... Oh who would have thought!? Trickster rogues and Control wizards. aka. The classes you are playing/facerolling others with. So, rather than asking for said items to be nerfed, you are asking for the GF's damage output to get nerfed, so you can happily chip away with your broken items while the GF is helpless, again.
You guys are such hypocrites, it hurts my brain reading your <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. Say how it really is > 'I want to be overpowered, but all other classes should be nerfed.' - That's the reality.
Please, whatever you are smoking, stop smoking it.
I'm clean as a whistle, with a fresh shave, extraordinarily good looking, a pearly smile and a millionaire bankrolling my escapades IRL. I have no need for drugs.
With that said, I assume you don't know anything about balance because you offered nothing in your post in regards to balance. I main a GF (3, in fact, both paragons and all 3 trees all fairly decked out and all but one have Dom Champ (Tactician only has 34/50 triples or something like that) and the fact remains that we are insanely powerful right now in PVP. Even my Protector with Frost/Frostburn can gib players with Combat S and Trample, survive the fight, and continue on her day with little threat to herself.
I for one, do not want to be overpowered. I want to have a fun fight where any mistake I make isn't mitigated by an "I win" button. Every class, regardless of gear with the exception of non-Reflect OPs, is food for me. I fought a CW named Fizzdan the other day who was a tremendous CW and really did all he could to kill me (got me a few times), but a vast majority of the time I just one rotationed him. It's not broken, but it's not fair. He's a better player than me and the risks that I had to subjugate myself to were minimal vice the risks he had to take.
I find the wide angle of block from GF to be annoying. As a CW, the only way to attack a good GF is to let him attack you first. Dodging behind seems to rarely work once ping times and server delays are added in. Unlimited block is annoying, hey look I can block forever & you can't hurt me.
But what I think really needs a nerf on GF is the crazy damage they can do in high end gear. I think there is something broken in the scaling. I have had a GF with a Bronzewood enchant hit me with Anvil for 79,909 after mitigation in burning gear with a (150kish hit before mitigation). This was a CA hit. It was not a critical hit. His Bull charge was critting for as high as 77k before mitigation.
I mostly play tr, but from what I've played of gf, the shield arc should be increased, but I don't expect that to happen since it might become too easy.
I'm sick and tired of drunken-ape tanks hard-locking me. I'm fully aware that some people are good at tracking TRs. Yet, it's pretty damn obvious when a tank, especially GWFs, are right on your <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> everywhere you turn.
did you just call a GWF a tank.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i just needed to laugh at that
ON TOPIC:
How to balance GF 101
1) Dial back Into the Fray to module 2 status
2) Dial back to the OLD BLOCK where it REQUIRED SKILL TO UES
3) no more 50% damage resistance on lunging strike and bull charge
4) bullcharge cooldown increased to 15 secs
5) lunging cooldown increased to 12 secs
6) anvil hp theresold only 20% and cd increased by 2 secs.
7) base damage reduced by about 30%
now u have balanced gf that cannot kill casters in 1 rotation

Yes I called a GWF a tank because the ones that are problematic use Trans Negation. Yes they are tanky considering their offensive prowess. But the statement applies to defensive monsters as well. So what is you <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> point?

GWF is tanky, but items like Whell of elements (generaly all forms of piercing damage) make him squishy.

With that said, GF could use a shield movespeed nerf, probably another 10%.
Pally Sanctuary needs to be like 50%...
(1) the total disablement of the padlock(hardlock) function in PvP.
(2) enforcing max camera distance/angle
Artificial/auto aim assist has no place in PvP. In PvP you aim manually, target manually. Confusing the targeting with stuff like enemy tanks jumping into your line of sight to protect their own, many enemies grouping/bunching up to confuse exact targeting point or location, fast movements and teleportations and stuff to confuse your manual tracking, quick movements to the flank to attempt to make you lose sight of your foe...
...all of these are vital and relevant PvP player skill categories which makes or breaks your gameplay. This is all null and void when you use auto-target lock with the warped/far camera angle some folks are using which you can even see your near behind angles, which is a needless crutch.
