Guild Wars 2

Can the balance team take a look at the shield?

We have such a limited array of weapons I’d love to see if they can add the ammo system to the magnetic shield skill of the shield so it can occur more than once. It would help out the support builds greatly as this is one of the blast finishers we use.

IMHO the shield skills are fine as they are and are probably the best shield skills in the game. What other shield has a 3 second reflect/knockback+blast finisher and a 2 second STUN block (that can stun through evade attacks) and a throw that deals damage and dazes both ways, and all of that is without traits.

The only thing shield could use would be a CD reduction to 20/24 seconds on 4/5 respectively and maybe a buff to the shield trait as its fairly lackluster.

This…
And the swap on pistol #3 to #4.

While I agree that shield CD reduction would solve a lot for shield and make it more attractive that ammo suggestion seems great to me! It would make shield a very good defense option IMO.
