Its a channeled range targeted aoe field, not a projectile. Working as intended.

Dead dolys can also cause it.

> @"quaniesan.8497" said: > Should rangers ask nerfs to elem, mesmers, and guardians for spamming reflects all the time in groups? I mean... it **would** be interesting if reflects had a "quantity reflected" mechanic rather than refelct uptime duration... you know exactly how unblockable works now. xD

They feel way too clunky. Feels like you are perma afflicted with Slow. Losing the on demand evade killed it.

>Bear Stance - Conditions removed per interval decreased to 1. You want to go from 5k base + 8 x 400 = 8.2k heal To 5k + 4 x 400 = 6.6k heal on a 30sec CD, that requires you to be loaded by condi to even be fully effective. Why?

nm. cant bothered. 20chars

Marauder and divinity is now a tanky build? I thought that was just a generic DPS build... just not a full on Zerky glass DPS build. 2.6 isnt 4k either, so I do feel I was justified in what I said in stating that you require far more than the Press 1 collect 4k. If you drop that SoS for more Ferocity your armour will also suffer.. then you are that much closer to being glassy.

I dont know what their definition of tanky is - apparently it just means taking the WS traitline, but still in zerk gear with scholar runes. LUL. good grief the level of disingenuous deception at play on this forum is almost criminal.

> @"Lan Deathrider.5910" said: > But as I said, most Soulbeasts I've seen don't take the signet, so anybody carrying a block, reflect, or projectile destruction skill on a twitchy finger can negate the burst. Doesn't mean the burst isn't broken. Well if it was actually broken we'd be seeing a HUGE demand for unstoppable soulbeasts in groups in WvW.. Comms crying out for MOAR BOWS! And super sweaty pro roamer / GvG squads like Cake Walk would use Soulbeast more in their self fellating promo vids. Theyve never used one. Not once. If soulbeast was broken in sPvP then Boyce wouldnt be playing anything else in tournies and easymode Sind sure as hell wouldnt be on teef. So. Respectfully I think you are utterly utterly wrong on how broken Soulbeast is. Its good at killing bads and newbies, and thats it.

> @"Lan Deathrider.5910" said: > The point is Memebeast can be built in such a way that it can blow someone's hp away completely with very few CDs used. All it takes is two weapon skills, two utilities, and an elite. Versus someone not in heavy armor you probably do not need to lead with PBS or Sic'em in order to down them. Sorry.. when is your hypothetical guard vs memebeast engagement occuring? Solo when they are running back to the zerg? Otherwise Id love a PBS that ignores stab... and dmg that ignores group perma prot... and an unblockable stack that isnt consumed by each target/shield infront of the target guardian. Youd be lucky to hit that guardian with 2 penetrating shots - and then due to the way OWP works they wouldnt take that damage either.

why would you want another projectile weapon when CMC is driven to make them utterly ineffective in a world of 100% reflects/barriers and make all unblockable buffs utterly useless?

The other changes would remove the remaining viability of the class in a world of DH Scrapper Holo Weavers Deadeye etc etc

Imagine playing guardian and dying to single target projectile weapons. Yikes.

It did not get fixed. If you fire an arrow with piercing through 2 targets it will use 2 stacks of your 10 unblockables. It was an awful change and it made Signet of the Hunt etc worthless. Not sure why it was changed. It just further extended the ludicrousness of single target projectile hate in this aoe centric mess of a game.

Id rather see boon removal / prevention traps :D
