“Hang in There!”

I dunno why I laughed so hard at this. I’m imagining us as a motivational speaker saying, “Hang in there guys! You can do it!”

WTB Morgan Freeman voice-over

Granting the guardian 20% extra damage at the cost of lowering armor by 20% and gaining the agony debuff ticking for 50% of its health over the duration of the skill.

A grand master trait named Unwavering Perseverance, preferably in the zeal tree, unlocks a 4th virtue, which has the following mechanics:

~Virtue of Perseverance~

Passive State: Run Speed Increased by 15%
Active State: You and your allies gain 5 seconds of fury.
-Cool down: 25 seconds.
-Cast time: instant

Additional item: Change the inner fire trait so instead than giving you fury when you are set on fire, the cool down of this virtue resets whenever you are set on fire.

Skill name: Fiery Resolve
Weapon: Scepter
Skill description: Blast your enemies with fire and heal your allies, any allies the flame comes into contact with receive the same effects as the caster
Cast time: 1 sec
Recharge: 1 sec
Visual effect(s): A ball of flame
Numbers: Range 1200, (If enemy) Damage 80, Burning 1 sec, (If ally) Healing 100 + 0.6 * Healing Power, Fury 1 sec

I really want to see alternative skills to current weapon set, where you could change your #1 for another #1 skill and so on. It would provide a lot of customization and varity of build. (I’m not good with names =P)

My suggetions to alternative (imagine mixing these skills with the current set):

Shield:
#4: “Seek the Evil”. Cooldown 20 sec. Range: 600.
- Throws your shield to hit up to 5 enemies (similar to shield of avenger command) and apply 3 sec of weakness. Deals around ~3k per hit.
#5: “Symbol of the Gods” – Duration: 3~5 sec (ticks). Cooldown: 30 sec.
- You place a symbol that applies aegis during the time.

Focus:
#4: “Holy Blessing”. Duration (channeling) 5 secs, Cooldown 25 sec. Radius: ???
- Heals yourself and nearby allies up to ~3000 during time. You get stability and protection during the channel.
#5: “Martyr of the Innocents”. Duration: 10 sec, Cooldown: 30 sec. Radius (leash too): 900.
- Every ally around takes 50% less damage. You take 15~25% of the full damage.

Sword:
#1: “Slash”. Chain.
- Each hit applies bleed (or some condition that isn’t burning!).
#2: ???
#3: “Symbol of Fierceness”. Duration 5 secs(ticks). Cooldown: 15 sec.
- Make a symbol that applies fury.

Also, in that way you could use the same weapon in 2 sets. Each one in a different way.

============
Traits:
There are a lot of useless traits, so some suggestions:

Replace “Healer’s Retribution” (I – Radiance) to “Sacred Pain”:
- Vulnerability deals damage over time (condtion): Why? This would work something like Terror of Necros, allowig Guardians to go into a heavy condition damage style. Also they could add vulnerability into sword #1 chain (1 stack of vulne per hit for 5 sec – up to 5 stacks in all chain).

“Powerful Blades” :
- Also have a 33% chance to apply 1 stack of vulnerability (1~3 sec) in critical hits. Why? This whould synergy well with the “Sacred Pain” (the previous suggestion).

Replace “Shimmering Defense” with “Spiritual burning” (can be moved to master or grandmaster tier):
- When you apply burning, your burning stacks in intensity as well. Each further stack deals the same damage as bleed. Why? This also allows to burning and cond dmg play style to be more effective.

Skill #1: Radiant Light (Heal)
Skill Type: Meditation
Description: Call down a Radiant Light at a target location, blinding foes and healing allies that are inside the light. Applies heal and blind once per second.
Cooldown: 30-40 seconds

Heal to allies: 400 per tick (2,400 total)
Blind: 1 second (6 total)
Radius: 240
Range: 900
Visual Effects: A beam of white/yellowish light shines at a slight angle down where you placed Radiant Light, allies inside of it glow yellow and foes glow red.

It is sort of like the Thief pistol #5 move Black Powder, but adds 2 seconds and heals allies.

Skill #2: Soul Fire (Elite)
Skill Type: Meditation or Transformation (or none, not sure)

Skill #3: Master of Virtues (Elite)
Skill Type: Meditation or none
