This week on Buildcast the boys go over a fellow guild member “Ponyfeaththers” Guardian build.  Buildcast is live every Wednesday at 8PDT.

    Elementalists? Clearly nobody on the show has played a Ranger since release.

    Rangers, fellas. Rangers. i know it’s asking for too much since they are bad, but perhaps someone in Anet is watching this show and they’ll be convinced how badly the rangers need something…. ANYthing! 

    luckily i rolled a guardian after giving up on my ranger so this show was excellent! :D

       After ANet saw what Kripp was pulling of with a glass cannon Ranger when he was still playing they nerfed the hell out of Ranger. Now we just have to wait till they tone it down a bit. I still think the class is one of the stronger ones just by being ranged.

      • N Carrott

         Warriors make better ranged builds. Don’t believe me? TAUGRIM!

    They also need to show some of the very bad builds and critique those so people can learn from their mistakes.
    The choices to have had 2 of the last builds from Ed’s guild was nice but now all I see are stealth thief builds in pvp.

      i notice Gary always asking for people to submit to the show and then we get builds from Ed’s guild. it makes me think there aren’t a lot of people submitting to the show to get their character looked over and they have no choice but to use a guildie’s toon. i could be wrong though. still, i like your idea.

         agreed gabe, I think the big problem is the lack of submissions. I also can see why there is not bad builds with bad play being submitted.

        hehe maybe I should post a vid up should meet all of Robs requirements ;)

    • DoctorOverlord

      This is a very good idea.   One often can learn more from failures than successes.   Such builds might not need videos to demonstrate how bad they are although that would be funny :)

    Concerning the elemenalist’s access to might…they actually can stack up a lot of might comboing off of their fire fields.  Especially S/D builds because they have access to a fire field and 4 blast finishers.  You are definitely right about the might helping because most of the heavy hitting skills have a damage and condition component…dragon’s tooth and churning earth are perfect examples.

    Is Scott reading this?

    Nerf Guardians.

    Great episode, but for the love of all things holy, please learn how to pronounce “aegis”.  It’s “eee-jiss” not “aaa-gus”.

      seriously THIS.  i feel like what happened is, Gary pronounced it wrong, then the rest of the panel just decided to follow suit despite knowing better.  because otherwise it’d be awkward or something.

        Gary is awesome, but really really really bad at vocabulary.

    I dont know why they added so many kitten based enemies to this game, but if I knew how to grab an individule tree and use it for offense I would make sure that nothing like that was going on in the game again!

    Does anyone have the link to the theorycrafting video discussed at the beginning of this episode?

  • Tulerezzer

    Whatever happened to a link to the build they are discussing? Am I just missing it?

    Why not make

    I really like buildcast but i would like to point out that, all those build posted are “random solo queue spvp builds”. In a tournament setting, everything works differently.You have less players, and focus on holding bases, not killing or kiting people.With the upcoming paid tournaments , you should actually focus only on tournament specs from now on.
