Guild Wars 2

I suspect this won’t get much support and falls in the L2P category, but it would be nice if each instance of block only used up one power providing block. I have a mace/shield Guardian. When I have Aegis up and I used my number 3 ability Protectors strike I have automatic block from Aegis and a block in the power. If something hits me in that situation it blows both the power and the Aegis.

What I’m asking for is if there are multiple effects in place to offer block to prioritize them. Let me power block the attack without blowing Aegis, then allow Aegis to pop if another attack occurs when I’m not already actively blocking. Generally speaking it isn’t an issue, but if I’m actively blocking and then Virtue of Courage recharges its passive Aegis it’s a waste.

I also know that this is probably a very limited situation, I just think it would be nice if we could avoid wasting effects.

Its worded kind of strangely, but basically you just want block skills to apply before Aegis does. You want Aegis to have a lower priority than block skills.

I agree with and support this. Aegis should take effect AFTER active block skills, not at the same time.

Should be possible in theory I think, because Blind already has a higher priority than blocking and so if an attack misses via Blind it doesn’t trigger a block. So making Aegis lower priority would also work, I think.

Yes, exactly that.
