Guild Wars 2

Well since I see people ask for the most overly overpowered buffs on classes that don’t need buffs at all, I’m like let’s ask for a not so OP buff on shield skill Shield of Judgement it feels lacking and imo should grant yourself and affected allies swiftness for idk…3-5 seconds…I’m sick of traveler’s rune when not rolling staff.

especially since the stalwart defender trait isn’t actually worth picking over strength in numbers even when playing shield.

guardian shield is really useless I thought they will buff it way better than reducing cds

Guardian shield died in 2012 when this game started to exist for us players.

giving shield #5 a 10sec cd would be pretty classic. I bet it would see use and QQ then.

Guardians’ Shield is a good weapon; the biggest problem is just that it competes with such strong alternatives, but even still, it does see some play even at the highest level.

The best thing they could do for Shield right now IMO would be to swap the positions of Smiter’s Boon and Stalwart Defender. This change would allow for more logical choices for Guardian builds. Right now, if a bunker Guardian wants to run Shield, there really aren’t any strong choices for the Adept tier in Valour, whilst DPS Guardians lack strong choices in the Master tier. If you swapped these two traits, Bunkers could run both Stalwart Defender and Strength in Numbers, whilst DPS Guardians could run Smiter’s Boon with Focus Mastery.

The way it is right now, the Shield and Focus traits are never taken, because they compete with things that are simply more important for the builds that run those weapons. But they’re not bad traits, and simply swapping their positions would allow Guardians to take these traits.

or have the stalwart defender trait also grant swiftness for 5? seconds when using shield skills…would love to see that tbh for real
