I’m not sure the reason why it was changed. My first guess would be because we already have Defender’s Flame but as one of the only players who whole-heartedly loves to play condi guardian, this change literally shattered my effectiveness odd fights (2v1s and such).
Yes, I want to able to win a 2v1. This trait allowed me to do it when it functioned as a PBAoE burning skill. 2s of burn on the target that hit me and 1s on the target that just so happened to be lucky enough to be standing beside me.
This post is quite selfish, I know that but I just thought I’d ask anyway because I want to kill things and shattered aegis is just atrocious now even when you specc for direct damage.
