Guild Wars 2

Here’s a thought. You know those spike shots in SS cove from the Karka, the medkit shield doesn’t last anywhere near long enough when your regular shield is on CD, why make the shield on the medkit last less time then the regular shield bubble we use from actually equipping a shield?

Had more then one run up before and attack like this in sequence.

Wouldn’t it make sense to make it more like the mobs that use this type of shield a full 5 seconds instead of 2?

Do you mean ToolKit? Cuz you said MedKit twice. o.0

I assume the OP means Med Kit with Kit Refinement which gives you Magnetic Aura (reflect projectiles) for 2 seconds.

Edit: I could be wrong though. Tool Kit #4 has a shield, but it lasts 3 seconds, not 2.

Think of the Magnetic Aura on Med Kit, when you have the Kit Refinement trait, much like a Mesmer’s Mirror healing skill. It gives you the capability to reflect back a couple ranged attacks while you’re on the move and using the Med Kit to heal. You also have to keep in mind that you don’t have to keep holding onto Med Kit for it to stay up, you can immediately drop Med Kit and use your standard weapon set or another Weapon/Tool kit, allowing some versatility in using it as a supplementary defense; meaning you can use Magnetic Shield right after the auras’ duration ends to allow for 5 seconds of projectile reflection total.
