Guild Wars 2

Determined Revival: Gain 5 extra toughness per level while reviving.
Fast Healer: Increases revive speed by 10%.
Reviver’s Might: Grant might to nearby allies when you revive someone.

These are utter crap and highly situational; please replace them with stuff that actually does something at times other than when you happen to revive someone .

No other profession is bogged down with revive-based minor traits; the rest make them major traits and thus optional.

Honestly, I like them.

Then again, I like reviving people, so…

Whether or not there are some people that like them is beside the point; as it stand if you want to invest in that tree you are forced to take them instead of them being optional like they are for every other profession that has revive-based traits.

They could even fix this by moving traits around, such as swapping Empowered and Empower allies with Fast Healer and Reviver’s Might and adjusting numbers if necessary.

Your statement implies that all minor traits aren’t situational.

So what your problem with the Tactics tree is that there are damage-based talents in a support-based tree?

Well, from the GW2 wiki itself, “Tactics is a trait line for the warrior that favors revival of allies and supporting them with banners, shouts and the warhorn.” Sounds like they covered everything required to make the Tactics tree a support one.

Most aren’t. Most are either consistently useful or have you playing a certain way to make them consistently useful. These revive traits can’t even be justified as niche since your group has to be doing so bad that they’re getting downed/defeated all the time during the course of the fight in order for them to make a significant contribution.

Did you even read my post? My problem is that it has 3 revive-based traits you’re forced into taking, not to mention 2 of them are crap (at least the first one is useful when you ARE reviving)
