We discussed the Guard a bit lately, therefore the remake in the recent beta version.
However, the Tank Cannon is not reworked yet, although it was a topic to change it as well.
I want to discuss Guards Tank Cannon in this thread. Is the Tank Cannon even useful on Guard? Which are the alternatives? Tell us your opinion, and maybe more possible Alternatives as well.
1st Alternative coming from the older Guard thread: Replace the Tank Cannon with a passive skill which upgrades/buffs the treants the Guard spawns (i think this came from VuDu, maybe he can tell us a bit more?)
2nd Alternative coming from internal forums: The Tank Cannon remains its functionality while the Guard is not rooted. While he is rooted, the range upgrades to 1300, the cooldown becomes ~2 seconds and you can manually aim at targets you want to shoot at. The damage/level is to be balanced, as well as wether this attack should be able to target buildings or not.
Paladon commented skeptical on 2nd, as he feared a long range attack (especially with the anti-building thing) could make the Guard superior.
