fix guard focus on spirit watch
Are you referring to this?
we’ve all seen what happens in games where there’s no disadvantage to taking your pants off.
Or are you referring to this?
A lot of build have attacks that are fast enough to break the shield and/or unblockable.
Pretty much every skill that hits a bunch of times like mesmer gs-auto, blurred frenzy, whirling wrath, zealots defense, 100b, whirlwind attack, pistolwhip, grenade barrage – just to name a few – are fast enough to break the shield and interupt the guard.
On top of that there are the unblockable attacks. As you said not everybody has (viable) unblockable stuff but it’s still possible counterplay and stuff like mirror blade or larcenous strike are pretty common and on low/no cooldown.
Also you can use stuff like line of warding under the guard that is channeling to interupt him or walk in a symbol that he might have put down with shocking aura and similar stuff.
And if you don’t have anything of that or it’s on cooldown AND you are allone while the guard has shield of wrath ready (which has 45 seconds cd btw)… well then he just used a pretty high cooldown correctly while you apparently wasted yours or you were not the guy who should be in this situation while other people from your team most likely would have been able to interupt him in a 1v1 at the orb. Deal with it.
