Guild Wars 2

So what if the soul reaping line instead of being a Crit damage line was a Boon line? Then all the traits that applied boons when entering death shroud were moved to this trait line?

traits like Spiteful spirit, Furious demise could be moved there, and heck we could get a trait that grants vigor on entering death shroud, speed of shadows could be made into a swiftness on entering , and spectral walk could have it’s swiftness duration changed to something new like super speed (running speed) for a few seconds? there are so many things that would be great if soul reaping was changed to a boon trait line instead of crit damage. But of course you would have to rework every trait line completely, just to make this work.

I think its better, to change the bad trait lines (blood and death for non mms) instead of a trait line which now is actually decent…

The traitline is very fitting, it gives and improves proffesion mechanic -DS and DS is used as defensive and offensive mechanic in power builds.

The problem is, that death and blood (toughnes and hp) line are sooooo bad, that its a better defense for condi necros, who also have worse LF regen, to just also go into SR for more Life force.
The right direction would be to make 15 with siphons give u as much survival/ and more sustain, as the 15 spectral armor from soul reaping.

So NO, and even if it was a good idea, such a drastic rework wont happen.
