Can we talk about making Shield worth using over Focus in some situations? I think if they gave skill 4 Aegis instead of Prot on a slightly higher CD it would make it amazing.

Change the bubble to 4 skill on a 30 second cooldown, decrease the cast time for the bubble and make it 3 second duration to compensate, and have shield of judgment deal damage and give aegis in a 240 radius aoe on a 45 second cooldown.

I dunno about PvE, but Protection > Aegis in WvW. Shield is doing well as a defensive weapon in WvW. The problem in PvE is the DPS meta, not Shield being not a viable. Shield is the only on-demand Protection weapon in the game, soo.. don’t take Protection off it?

Why bother being a Guardian if you don’t guard anyone?

Shield is completely viable in PVP as well, so that leaves PVE as the red-headed step child.
