If that is the case it's pointless to bring one over a TR. Since all our At-Wills are cleaves that do less damage the more enemies we hit, we have to swing more often to do an equal amount of damage that it would take for a TR to individually burn them one by one. Except the TR gets the added benefit that as they are…
Anyone who says TR's damage isn't blatantly overpowered is playing one. Guardians fill the role of tank, so while performing their main job of generating threat to maintain an enemies aggro, they can deal out respectable damage, but no where near that of a TR, that is fine. A Cleric can do dish out a fair amount while…
I started my GWF in BW3, got up to 31, tried it a few more lvls in BW4 up to 36 before I had to shelve it for a Guardian, which I lvled up to mid 20's, twice (I deleted the first in BW4 to play with a friend). Anything a GWF can do, a Guardian can do better with the exception of mobility, which is pointless if the GWF…
TR's do more single-point damage per hit than a GWF but additionally, a GWF's AoE strikes do even less per enemy hit. The more mobs we cleave, the less damage we do per mob, so the more times we have to swing. A TR could simply individually burn them down one by one down probably just as fast, if not faster, than it would…
Regardless whether it is in PvE or PvP, GWF still is clueless as to what role it is to fill. With what little threat-generating mechanics we have, it can hardly hold aggro well enough to be ever be a primary tank, which is fine whatever. But it also lacks any real on-demand spike-threat abilities to even be considered a…
As a GWF who started in BW3 and got to 36 in BW4, I got owned by pretty much everything, but there was absolutely nothing to counter rogues. At least with a CW which are arguably even more OP than rogues, you could almost pretend to stand a chance if you somehow managed to actually live long enough to fill up your…
Played GWF in BW3 and in BW4, managed to get up to lvl 36. I always ensured that my gear was within 2-3 lvls of my current one as best I could. I enchanted my gear with highest ranked damage-oriented stones I could and took the chance in BW4 to respec to what I thought would have been a solid DPS build with a good mix of…
All this illustrates is how terrible our damage is. No offense, I mean if you went tanky route cool I guess, but I'd be willing to wager a guardian could easily out tank us while simultaneously out DPS us by just rolling their face on the keyboard.
The damage is completely and utterly abysmal. I mean really bad. Before people say LOL2P, I was in gear that was within about 2 or 3 levels of whatever my current one was. Now granted they were all greens, I didn't run anything other than skirmishes really this BW4, I should still have been able to put up better numbers. I…
