Guild Wars 2

Every other trait set in the game has a section where a particular set of skills work better and have a cooldown reduction trait.

Why is there no trait for gyro cooldowns?

Why is there a 20 second cooldown on all gyro toolbelt traits? Isn’t that a bit ridiculous?

Gyros have “reduced cool down” in their baseline. A few Especs do that when “CD traits” end up being best in slot, and want players to try to mixing more options. For Gyros specifically, they’re actually a little over powered in PvP; and the Tool Belts skills are straight up most powerful/useful on nearly kit. And for the record…. 20 sec is really short for what those tool belt skills do.

are you looking to get 50%+ protection and or reflect uptime from a single toolbelt?
do you want a stunbreak on 5-10 sec cd?

most other cdr traits have a decision process that goes like:
am i taking one or more of the utilities? do i have the spec already? great! the other 2 traits are useless anyways!
but if im not already taking the spec, then obviously the utilities are useless!

its pretty shallow, and im glad that scrapper eschews that cdr in favor of adding lightning fields and superspeed to the deaths and sad that also dazing was kittening op as kitten.
