Guild Wars 2

I won’t say i’m an epic guardian player but i think it’s safe to say guardians needs some polish. While some of our skills are great, there’s just a handful no one touches even with gun held to their head. I’ll start with spirit weapons.

Now spirit weapons are not trash skills (like signet of mercy for example) but they do have a lot of issues. Let’s start fromt the top:

All spirit weapons:

Dying from aoe dot ground skills. Example being poison fields from queen spider in AC. Why are weapons that float above ground affected by poison that is ground only (and not falling from the sky or exploding upward?)

Bow of Truth, Shield of Avenger:

Why do they root in place when they activate? They should follow me, or at least check my position after skill animation and teleport themselves to me before next skill cast.

A bow of truth that stays in one place for whole duration, where i’m running from conditon based enemy is useless, it should be moving with me blasting conditions away (i’m talking swamp fractal scenario here).

Shield of Avenger that just stays in enemy aoe when i dodged out of danger ages ago is also useless. If i dodged it should immediatly move to my new position and cast it’s shield of absorption where i’m at. Shield stays alive, i get protection at my spot, win – win.

Sword of Justice:

Never has justice sucked so much before. The damage is just pathetic, not to mention the low rate of fire. what is to convince me to give this skill any time of the day when things like shouts, consecrations or shield of avenger are right next to it?

Hammer of Wisdom

Shorter intervals between it’s auto-chain really wouldn’t hurt you know! Especially given it’s “high end” short duration and long cd.

Signet of mercy
It’s not a spirit weapon but it’s level of suckage bends reality and time – space continuum. Seriously, who uses that? Every single resurrection skill in this game beats signet of mercy with ease, and guardian is to be supposed the support/healing oriented profession with something like this? Good one.
