Mark, what a piece of junk class ability!

Class abilities should be something that defines the class. GF got a debuff that's so weak you don't even know its up if it weren't for the red cross. And to make it worse, its removed as soon as you take damage (which would be fine for a DPS class, but very counter-intuitive for a tank).
Besides, I tend to keep up marks just by charging around (the at-will charge), which makes it if possible even worse.
Can we please get something useful for our class ability? You know, something that defines our class, like stealth for rogues. Or remove it, put Guard on TAB and give us a dodge on SHIFT.

^^This would be lovely.
1 - Dodge
2 - Impossible to Catch
GWF has 1 + 50% Dmg reduction
1 - Dodge
2 - Unstoppable Force
- GF - Are the tanks but we only have block which is easily broken and takes awhile to charge back up to 100%. Within that time frame a TR or GWF stam will be fully recharged & skills.
Its so annoying when you find yourself inside a big red circle, and your Guard meter is empty. Nothing to do but wait for the pain (unlike other classes that usually can dodge away).
From a gameplay perspective this makes sense, from a class practical perspective it doesnt. GF dont have the same mobility because were wearing heavy armor. We are supposed to be a damage sponge. The reason it seems broken atm is because a defensive GF cant currently hold agro AND groups are not rewarded for having or needing a defensive GF. This means Gfs spec offensive meaning we are not as good of a damage sponge so these abilities hit harder than they should.
Also, an idea that COULD work that I have thought of is an ability called "Toe to Toe" (or something like that) that is used in melee range but it "roots" both the GF and the target in place for 1 second (2s for rank 2 and 3s for rank 3) making them stand toe to toe with the GF. This would be usefull in PVE due to boss fights, requires skill to use (cant dodge red) and is doing what the class intended to do.
It is also useful for PVP since classes couldnt not kite and would then cause them to think about letting a GF get close to them. It actually seems OP in pvp so maybe tune it a little. Maybe allow the GF to be CC but still neither can move for 3 seconds...
if your guard meter is empty their stamina meter would be empty.
you blocked a couple attacks and your meter is empty, they dodge a couple and theirs is empty.
just sayin'
anyhow i do agree mark is a terrible class skill.
chances are they will be like other mmo games though and just try to buff the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> out of it instead of changing it.
due to block and charge skills getting a sprint is pretty unlikely. the GF is made to be more stationary while the GWF is made to be the sprinter. block works better on big hits you know are coming, deflect works better on lots of little hits from trash... i am sure you can see where im going with this.
Guardian Tab ability is utterly bad and close to useless.
Fix the guardian block issues 1st, then change this utterly bad skill to be something else.
Combat arena. Adjustable challenge.
Difficulty: Adjustable easy - very hard
Duration: Adjustable 1 - 25min
Reticle not rectal.
GWF does not have dodge roll. =| Impossible to catch is up for like 4 seconds.
The important part of marks is the small period where they are unremovable. Sometimes, you intentionally take a hit to reapply a mark and give your guard meter some time to recover.
Enforced Threat should be the TAB ability. damaging snap-taunt that marks in AOE is perfect for a Class-Defining ability and it'll allow some more flexibility in loadouts.
hell, if you need to balance it, take away the damage, increase the threat and the snap taunt, and remove the 5-enemy limit.
and call it "Challenge".
1- Daily skills needs to adjsuted. I prefer Figters recovery because its my only healing skill.Crushing Surge is waste of feat power. I don't need 200 heal while eating 800 also have 17k HP.
2- Taunts have to be more effective and we have to see who is attacking us and who is not.
3- Guard must be work properly. Generally i eat alot of damage while guarding i have to re-guard again.Weird uh...
4-Thats the last. We need some proper debuffs and auras.We have to assist our party members. We are nothing but a self defence class atm.Knights challenge or into the fray is not enough.Taunts not last longer, enforced threat is not enough(use it with frontline surge its good combo btw)
Those facts are great holdbacks for GF's on my opinion.I hope they rebalance the GF's.
Mark is completely useless.
100% extra damage taken but no knockdown as well as snap agro.
