Guild Wars 2

I like the fact that you dont have to run a specific trait to play spirit weapons, but I think more AI is what we don’t need in this game. In addition, they are pretty bad as utilities for a support guardian. Not even close to shouts or even consecrations. Not to say they just die to AoE.

Change to Renewed Focus is good, for both dps and bunker guard (specially dps).

Changes to Tomes are good but not enough. I want to explain that.

Gaining stability is really good when traited (+10 more seconds active), but the problem with tomes (in pvp) are basically 4:

- You can’t stomp/rezz.
- Too long cast time for #4 and #5. 4 and 1/4s in pvp is just not viable. And you can’t move.
- Too long cooldown.
- You can’t use utilities/virtues/heal.

Suggestions to tome changes:
- Decrease cooldown to 120.
- Decrease cast time (and make it moveable?) for #4 and #5 to (let’s say) 2s and 3s.
- Make it so at least you can stomp/rezz (like the change to DS for necros which is really good btw).
- Reduce overall power for tomes: #1 and #2 same. #3 6-7 sec prot and regen instead of 10s. #4 2s daze down from 3s. #5 10k heal.

Why this changes? Now you have stability but they can still corrupt you, so if you use this 180s cooldown elite and they manage to corrupt you its gonna be really tough for you since you wont have elite for 3 minutes. Moreover they’ll never let you use #5 due to long cast time and animation, since you can’t move its really easy to know when you’re casting it and you can just be cc’ed to death while standing still for 4 and 1/4s. So lower cooldown and power of this elite so you can use it more often (and actually you can use all skills in pvp by lowering cast times) but its not that powerful that fully heals everyone.

Finally, I missed some changes to Sanctuary. With this 120s cooldown, it looks like an elite, but it’s not worth at all. Smaller radius than AA, so melee can AA you from outside bubble (they can stomp/rezz as well). Only block projectiles (not ranged attacks). You still get hit by AoE damage.

Suggestions to Sanctuary:

- Decrease cooldown to 90s.
- Increase radius from 120 to 180.
- Make it so people inside get boons (let’s say prot and/or regen and/or aegis) instead of direct healing.
