Guild Wars 2

I think DPS Guardian is perfect aside from the fact that we don’t have soft CC. As I’m sure you have read around, there are easy fixes that would allow Guardians to sit on target more efficiently. Having to use sigils like Hydromancy is a bit annoying since there are other sigils that are simply way better.

Here are some of the things I have read around:

Add a cripple effect to GS #5 leash that ticks every 2-3 seconds.

Zealot’s Speed- 5 seconds of swiftness on weapon swap. (why is it called Zealot’s Speed if it triggers Symbol of Wrath?)

Glacial Heart- Now applies to all weapons, reduce CD to 10-15 seconds. Also move it to Zeal to make that line more appealing.

There are definitely other classes that need more attention than DPS Guard (nerf zoo builds, warriors, buff eles) but I still believe soft CC would polish DPS builds, whether it’s a medi build or spirit weapon.

Disclaimer I am new to guard and from playing my main of Ele to guardian these past 2 weeks I agree that is definitely the number one issue I find with playing DPS guard.

I think your zealots speed would be better if it was super speed perhaps 5 seconds would still be ok?

Yeah I think Guardians need access to more types of conditions without having to rely on runes/sigils. Cripple/Chill through any weapon type would be cool. We need something :|

maybe even a stun through a fourth virtue..?
