Make aegis give a shield of % (let’s say 10%) amount of guardian’s max health. So have 20k hp would give a guardian 2k shield every 30 seconds or whatever. If the shield gets to 1k, it will be back to 2k when aegis refreshes.

This dont work, guardian has to low base HP on this. Block attack + shield or reduction dmg(20% on 3sec) after aegis is destroied work by great.

Evilek lvl 80 Charr Thief Why no ?
Fredy Brimstone lvl 80 Mighty Warrior
OupĂ­ lvl 80 Immortal Guardian

2k shield would be okay if it was to pulse every few seconds.
I’d rather give guardian a shield every 30 seconds that absorbed 10k despite of their health.
Though It might be too cheesy so I’d rather go with 50% received damage reduction (as an uncorruptable boon against both power and condi) for 5 seconds after aegis breaks.

Guardian is meant for jolly crusading.

Anet could really make Aegis shine by upgrading its traitlines.

  • 50% higher retal damages when Aegis breaks when using Radiant Retaliation (lasting 3s and just effecting self)
  • Reduce spirit weapon cd or signet cds when an Aegis blocks.
  • Gain protection when recieving Aegis while already having Aegis.
  • etc. etc.

Though we’re not dependamt on Aegis like how other classes are dependant on Regen, Prot, and Resistance, I rather fix the core issue on Guardian first than suggest a QoL fix :)

Prety much this^
The actual traits for aegis are really nice, small heal, remove condi, block damage, shatter aegis o nuse, the only thing that lacks is the damage boost on reataliatin Wratfull sprit on zeal.

Imo Wratfull sprit should be merged with Radiance trait, Healers retribution, like use Radiance traitline for tune up guardian retaliation, and fire punish damage on block, something like a retal and fiery condi build, funny as im thinking this would be aplyed on some traps :| due trap fragment and heal trap, damage+fire+retaliation woud be funny i think, i would probably add 1pulse retaliation on scepter since we have only 2 of might.

But about aegis i think it is fine as the skill functions, the only change i think would be possible would be to make it like gw1 aegis, X duration and 50% block chance.

1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.
