As we all know by now, burning is stupid strong (called it, I CALLED ITTTTT).
Why is it that the SHIELD, you know, the icon of DEFENSE, has NO DEFENSE against conditions, while both the focus (4) and TORCH (5) do?
Solution: give shield some kind of condition purge or resistance buff. Or better yet, BOTH! Give shield 4 (in addition to protection), resistance. Give shield 5 a condition purge on detonation. BOOM, shield is now the utterly best defensive weapon options guardians have in this new, burning world.
Cooldowns would probably have to go up with the added functionality though.
Also, instead of the shield trait giving toughness, how about vitality?
