Hey guys
I was reading some posts on the other classes forums, mainly warrior; one of their threads was about some changes they noticed on the core traitlines during the information scavaging that went down after POF release and streams.
Just wanted to know if anyone noticed any changes on the guardian core traits or has any idea as to what kind of changes might hit us or would like to see before expansion launches.
Some of those changes might be the new mechanic “barrier” which would work great for guard or maybe some signet changes ( i heard some changes relating signets were coming in one of the streams) hopefuly even spirit weapons.
What do you guys think?

The 2 new things we know for sure that are coming to some core classes are the barrier mechanic (as mentioned) and utility skill charges (like warrior kick is getting).

Personally, I think it’d be pretty sick if judge’s intervention had charges, that’d be crazy! I also really hope we do see some barrier on guardian, it’d really help with some survivability woes and could maybe help them fill some niches in support.

Yeah! Guard medis with charges would be amazing! Do you know if all skills of the same type get charges or if its possible that only 1 would, lets say judges gets it but smite condi doesnt?

It’s probably going to be on a skill by skill basis; no need to pigeon hold their balancing by making arbitrary rules like “all utilities of this category must have charges”.

I wonder if the Greatsword cooldown redux/damage/heal trait will ever get looked at :/

Spirit Weapons were mentioned by a dev alongside Physical skills for Warriors.
Its going to be a meaty balance patch like the June 2015 patch which prepped the way for HoT.

wish they could swap hammer trait position with the shield one :| , its feels virtues as way to mandatory and our traits are far to spreaded…
At least people who want medi hammer build dont need to use the consecration and could get a more viable trait option.
Players that want a more bunker and support role with shield could use the virtues and that would not burn like 2 traits to get shield 20% and virtues boons, plus mace taitline :\,, thereres your 3 trait options used…. just to use some mace shield combo…

About the SW if we dont loose the SW shield dome pulse its all good.

Hoping that 20% boon on staff goes aways as well, and we get a trait for 20% boon duration plus something else independently the weapon or utilities used.

They will just make the spirit weapons pulse some throwaway boons (Bow regen, sword might, shield protection, hammer fury) and call it a day.

oh, i like it, still the A.I is a problem :P a big problem!
i hope they make the weapons like gyros stay near the scrapper.

shield and bow somehow (lazy ANet xD) shares thesame A.I than hammer and sword, and since they dont have offsensive skills they just stand there…. selecting random targets… to try to meleee while they dont have those…. atacks xD

anoying xD

some boons on SW pulsing with firebrand actually in theory sounds good, i can get support ot fire stack offensiveness mistured with some mantras.

5 MONTHS ago?! Geez I hope this update is huge. I’ve been holding off on playing GW2 much due to Guardians having an entire utility set be useless and it’s the only class I liked. Just rubbed me the wrong way and I stopped playing since I would keep getting upset with it

I think this is what he referred to: https://youtu.be/8KrspncZEPw?t=7m18s
This is what gives me some expectations at least.

That just says there will be a balance patch, which we knew since we get one at the end of every pvp season.

The medi skills needs no touching outside of maybe merciful intervention.

Shouts however need some serious buffing besides (reduce cooldown by 2 seconds)

yea we don’t know when this is happening. He says “You’ll be seeing a balance pass in the next release”

Is he talking about the expansion? Cause thats months away and guardian SW’s have been terrible for years. I’m honestly done waiting for them to not be terrible…..

Expansion is Sept 22, so not entirely months away

Chances are we’ll see the balance patch sooner than later; recalling the HoT balance patch came out a few months before HoT launched.

Isn’t there supposed to be a huge update like on the 8th or something?

We have no official confirmation… but it’s a decently safe assumption to make, especially considering the public beta weekend next weekend…

Next release means next patch, August 8th.

My point is that that dev post has nothing to do with spirit weapons, it just says there will be a balance patch on Tuesday, which we already knew.

The only info we have that they are working on spirit weapons is the link I posted.
