Guild Wars 2

Not sure whether to put this in the Suggestions or Guardian Threads so I’ll let the moderators decide.

We all have various ideas for or problems with the Guardian weapons, this might have been done before but I’ll attempt to start one anyway. People get mad regardless.

Throw all the weapon suggestions you can in here!

I’ll get the ball rolling.

Sword
I really want to like sword, I find its aesthetic the most appealing but I don’t like it. It’s boring, you mostly just spam #1 then only miss with #3 if the target slightly moves…

1. Chain:
   I suppose any changes to the #1 chain would make it a little overpowered, while it’s still kinda boring, it works well enough, triggers Justice often and works well with crit builds.
2. Flashing Blade:
   If we wanted to keep the same basic functionality of this skill, I have two suggestions for it:
   a) Make it a leap finisher for the love of all that is good, please do this! Mesmer’s staff #2 teleport (from memory) is a leap finisher, surely ours could be too?!
   b) Make it do good damage!
3. Zealot’s Defense:
   a) Have the projectiles hit foes in a line. I seriously thought this skill would do this when I first saw it. It sure looks like they would.
   b) Have the projectiles blocked from this skill count as real blocks in regard to traits/runes.
   c) Please let us MOVE whilst using this skill!

What these changes would do would raise sword’s synergy with traits and allies a good deal without overpowering it (that I can see) whilst addressing some of the pitfalls of it. I don’t quite understand why Zealot’s Defense has to be single target anyway.
