Guild Wars 2

As the title indicates, I want to propose a rework for this trait. As it is now, its practically useless. The rally on kill for VoJ is really nice (even in PvP) since you could basically spam it for amazing results.

Here’s what will usually happen when you rally:
-You’ve been bannered/SR and are in the middle of a fight, a single block rarely will help you stay alive if your attacker has pressured you hard enough.
-You’ve just won a downed battle and are OOC, a block is useless here.

It needs a change in my opinion.

Here’s what I recommend:

VoC cooldown reduction if you successfully block an attack with its active.
A heal if you successully block an attack with the active.
Some damage if you successfully block an attack with its active.

^All or one, but please don’t choose none.

Well guardians already have a heal on AEGIS break, so that one is out.
Guards also have a trait to do damage on AEGIS break so that is out.

A VOC recharge reduction on block however could be quite nice & would fit in with some of the traits they are adding.

Another possibility could be an AOE daze or slow when AEGIS breaks. (would be quite useful & add some CC that the class desperately lacks)

Im sorry but you got that wrong. the new version of this trait will be really good. why?

You rezz an ally: you get your VOC reset. what does this mean? you get :
1 free aegis
stability protection retal aegis stunbreak on command for 5 ppl around you

with the low(30 sec) cooldown of this trait this means you will get the VOC reset quite often, since it will reset when you get rezzed or rezz an ally. and VOC is one of the most usefull utilities we have.

if you will run 0-0-6-6-6 after the patch, you can get aegis heal. this means you heal 2x 750-1000 extra just by rezzing somebody or getting rezzed.

the only thing that bothers me is when you run the new shield of absorbtion( aegis regen protection when you rezz an ally) you will get an aegis from this trait, aswell as an aegis from the VOC reset. i wish it would stack up to 2 aegis maximum to get most benefit from this.

Imagine an ally is downed: you activate VOC for stability and protection>knockback + heal from the new honor trait> you rezzed the ally> you get 3 boons which heal you and protect you even more> you get another VOC to stunbreak or stability and you and your mates are save from any CC during or after the Rezz.
