Guardian
If you try to look into our Forums you will see most of us are complaining about the Zeal Trait Line. There’s something wrong with this trait line as far as i can see, this Trait Line is BEST used in SPVP
Inshort, we will still invest too much in the Two most important Trait Line for us Guards.
Valor and Honor
Suggestions
- Pure of Voice – Able to remove 2 Conditions in 1 shout.
More and more conditions are going to be applied to us in a single blow taking to consideration with the 2 Sigils on Two Handed weapons, Look at Torment and other conditions, so many condition builds. This is the perfect time to make it remove 2 Conditions with 1 Shout.
- Zealot’s Speed – The name really sounds good but the effect is not really nice. Revamp this to 10% Movement speed or 1% movement speed for each boon you have.
- Kindled Zeal – The conversion to Condition damage is okay but using Burn, Immobilization, Vulnerability, Chill as a condition doesn’t make this Grandmaster Trait stand out. Try to add 1 more condition for us Guardians and add it to this trait.
- Scepter Power – 10% Increase Damage and make orbs faster.
- Zealous Blade – It’s still too weak. How about increasing the damage to 10% Even if you increased the healing powers, we Guards will not stick with Greatswords and keep attacking in WvW/PvE/PVP. We’re still going to switch weapon because of the options the other weapon has to offer. Just imagine the 2 Sigils on Two Handed Weapons
- Glacial heart – Many Guards are complaining about this skill. It has 50% Chance to Occur and has 30second cooldown. It is good, like Sigil of Hydromancy. But the 30 second cooldown makes this Trait completely obsolete adding up that 50% Chance to occur make this trait worst. Better add Sigil of Hydromancy to our Hammers rather than get this Trait. See What i mean? Making it not the best option we have, therefore giving us few less build to choose from. I suggest make it to 15seconds atleast, stay with the effects and make it 15seconds and a 100% Chance to occur on Critical hit.
I’ve been using my Guardian since August 23, 2012 upto NOW.
Since it’s only the character i use and not creating other characters.
I just can’t bring myself to get some traits from the Zeal Trait line
But if we’re talking about PVP, it’s a completely different story.
Zeal and Radiance has good combination trait line like Valor and Honor
I can’t complain anything about Virtues Trait line since it offers the support role of a Guard and it amplifies it either we’re talking about WvW/PVE/PVP
This is purely about Feedback and Suggestions i have. About your changes for this upcoming patch is really minor. Is it because you guys are planning for a big update at the nearest future updates? Who knows /shrug
Any feedback coming from other Guards will be perfectly okay!
More power to Arenanet!
