Guild Wars 2

Just want to get your guys’ thought on this spirit weapon. I reckon its command is a powerful cc since its a fast leaping knockdown that lasts 3s (plus the nice damage it brings). After the patch it won’t get destroyed even after command, so do you guys think its useful in PvP/WvW roaming? (Not zergs because it’ll die instantly in zerg anyway)

I tried to create a hybrid spirit weapon build, what do you guys think of this? Granted critical damage won’t be as pretty as zerker but the hopefully burning damage and 2 damage multipliers can make up for it.
Build editor hasn’t update yet, but hammer command is 12s CD and sword command is 8s CD.

While the spirit weapons are nice on paper they tend to have far too little health/toughness.

This leads to them dying to incidental AOE or targeted spike very very fast.

It would be ok if their CD’s started as soon as they were summoned or if they automatically did their commands when they died.
But they don’t.

This means very few people will likely use them.

Honestly I like the idea of spirit weapons but with the way this game is they would be much better off as summonable weapons that the guardian uses (IE Ele conjured weapons) or as stationary stat buff banners with a command skill (mix of engi turret & warrior banner)
