Hi all. In my spare time I thought I would theory craft my own specializations for my own amusement. This is the concept I created for the guardian.
For this concept I really wanted to give more access to retaliation and aegis. I divided the traits so you have to choose between more retaliation or more aegis. Main hand shield lacks in mobility but makes up for it in defense
Juggernaut
Gains shield main-hand (thats right double shield baby).
Auto attack-180 range. 3rd chain-skill applies 2s of cripple.
Shield charge- Charge at your opponent, knocking them down. 600 range. 12s cd.
Fortified Armor- Create a wall around you that reflects projectiles on anyone within it for the next 5 seconds. Once the wall goes down you and all allies around you gain 3s of protection. 25s icd
New utilities are Stances
Defender’s Stance- You take 20% less damage. Conditions applied to you have 33% less duration. 6 Seconds. 40s cd
Charged Stance- Reduce Cooldowns of all weapon skills by 50%. 50s cd.
Steady Stance- Gain 5 stacks of stability. Grant 2 stacks of stability to allies behind you in a cone. 400 range. 30s icd
Virtues become Wards
Ward of Justice-Burn is now weakness. Passive gives 2s of weakness every 5 attacks. Active is 5s of weakness 240 radius.
Ward of Resolve-Gain 2s of retaliation every 10seconds. Active gain 5 seconds of retaliation to you and nearby allies. Also damages and knocksdown enemies in the area 240 radius.
