Guild Wars 2

Guardian Shield skills needs Major rework. Two skills are completely useless. Look here,

Shield of Judgment Skill 4:
-33% incoming dmg for 5 seconds. 20 sec CD

Shield of Absorption skill 5:
- Push and absorb projectiles. 24 sec CD

Like why ? warrior shield skills are way way more useful. Atleast in warrior you can move while you block, and 4th skill is a ministun.

5 Seconds incoming is almost nothing, 5 seconds in a fight with a cd of 20s feeling like a troll skill. A a good pvp fight atleast last a minute, 5 seconds in 60s is laughable.

Shield absorption is little better, but cmon, you cant even move, its basically a delay skill for 1.5s seconds with cd of 24 seconds.

Compare this to other character skills:

It doesn’t need a full rework… it just needs better definition in its skills. And easy change would be to give Judgement the CC (knockdown or knock back), and make Absorption last the full 4 seconds people expect it to do, remove the initial knock back (so it can work front line with other melee players), and then add a traited effect for its detonation.

it does need a full rework, it is currently the worst weapon set of any profession.

The +180 toughness trait was the stupidest thing possible also. They put it right next to a team buff that gives +150 toughness.

from tpvp point of view .. both are ok. not so bad. a little buff would be ok though

4 skill does ok dmg and boon is good if u use the right time.

5 skill can be used as CC , interrupt. The bubble also can save some burst out of pew pew ranger
