Hello anybody who reads this. This thread is all about buffing guardians tomes.
At this moment guardian has only one viable elite, Renewed Focus.
Yes, it is very powerful ability, but some of guardians want more offensive or supportive elite.
Which leads to tomes.
Tome of courage: Supportive elite, very powerful in teamfights. But it is not viable.
Tome of wrath: Offensive elite, very powerful in teamfights. But it is not viable.

Why not viable you ask? Well, many people has different opinions about this but yeah, this is my opinion:

You should be able to use utility skills when you are in tome!
Seriously, I don’t see a reason why this is not there yet. Why this? Okay I give examples.

1: Tome lasts 20 seconds without the trait. And at this moment the trait is terrible, and nobody will pick it. With the trait it would be 30.
2: Tomes most powerful skill ( Number 5. ) has 4 second cast time. Yes the cast time should be long of course, but the thing is it is soooo easy to interrupt!
Even if you cast Stability before you go on tome, you have barely time to cast number 5! Plus even if you have stability at that moment, it can be corrupted, stolen, ripped off. There is way too many things to make number 5 uncastbale.

Tomes would be more viable if you could use utility skills when you are in them. You are having too many conditions on you? Clean them. You are stunned? Stun-break it!
This would give Guardians more opportunities to really shine!

Trait: Elite focus.
I suggest this trait to be changed little bit.
Make elites longer and reduce cooldown of tomes.
I think tomes should have long cooldowns, but 180 is too much.
Trait should reduce cooldown by 50%.
So with trait cooldown would be 90 seconds, just like Renewed focus.
“Why put cooldown reduce on trait and not just reduce cooldown with out them?”

To be honest, I think that would be too good to be true. You should really sacrifice something to get that cooldown for such a good elite.

I am sorry if this post was hard to read. My brains are kitten ing a lot.
TL:DR: Make able to use utility skills while in Tome elite.

I’m with you, I’ve never liked guardian’s tome elites. I don’t like transformation skills in general. They feel tacky and disconnected from the associated class.

The best thing about guardian tomes are skills 4 and 5. Pacifism is a good skill, Quickness is a good skill. Skill #5 for both tomes are powerful.

I think having access to utility skills would be a great idea. And make tomes feel like a glorified weapon swap instead of a gimpy transform.

I think a good first step would be 2 fold:
1) Reduce cool downs on tomes to 120 from 180
2) Increase duration to 24 sec from 20 sec.

I’m not sure, can you, umm…. do that again? ROM – 2015

I think nature spirit needs a cooldown reduction to 60s. That way everyone can have a Warrior’s healing signet.
