Guild Wars 2

We only have 1 Mediation skill that has a 1 second cast timer.. yet we have a whole trait skill designed to make that one ability instant cast?

something is not right. Please replace it with something useful.

We have two with cast time: Smite Condition and Merciful Intervention, but I do agree that the trait is worthless even for a specialized meditation build.

Yes, they are ‘instant’ as you say, but when using the trait, you are able to use all meditation skills while you are CC’d, aka, knocked down, feared, etc.

Also, they are able to be used while channeling/casting other abilities, and will not interrupt the cast.

Example: Greatsword’s 3rd attack (whirling one) + Judgements Intervention = very powerful if they choose to dodge / blink away. You’re back on the target and still using your whirl ability.

Judgement’s Intervention is already instant without the trait. It’s only true if you want to use Smite Condition while whirling to add more burst damage.

Its not completely useless but it couldnt hurt for it to have some other use, maybe just like Honorable Shield, just merge this trait to the -20% meditations cooldown trait
