Like… look at the Major Grandmaster trait Loremaster!

Tome skills gain reduced recharge. Retain Virtues passives while they are on cooldown.


Heal looks way too low though

Should be baseline, and then replaced with a trait that makes tomes instant equips.

I agree that it should be baseline… that trait is too dang good.

I would prefer making mantra casts instant xD

I seriously dont understand why we have to cast them in the first place. What is the point when you can precast all and have all of them charged.

The mantras would be 100% better if they simply turned into shouts with no ammo but only the last charge effect with 600 AoE radius.

Actually, all i want from Firebrand is the Loremaster GM trait be converted over into a DH GM trait.

That’s all I want.

Literally everything else is useless in PvP

Loremaster should have been a base guardian trait.

Loremaster should have been a base guardian trait.

Indeed, instead of the rubbish that is Battle Presence (which should be in Absolute Resolution).

Its just clunky. Thats all it is. The damage is there if you do a proper justice tome rotation. The other two books are a bit lack luster although that can remedied if they made the books function like kits with pages as their version of initiative.

Honestly, it just feels largely incomplete and ultimately probably not even designed with PvP in mind. Meditations were and still are the go to utilities for us and because they provided us with everything we need (a bit of mobility, sustain for our relatively small health pools, damage). Whatever you release, if you want it to be even remotely competitive with medis, would have to be pretty kitten good. So far, the only mantra I can make an argument for is mantra of truth because of the cover conditions you can drop for your condi burst and how valuable the cripple is to a class with nearly no mobility tools and dont even get me started on axe.

On paper it sounds cool. In reality, we get a historian who’s words hurt your feelings more than anything else.
