Guild Wars 2

Grandmaster trait: Zealous Movement

Gain 5 seconds of swiftness every time you apply burning. (5 second cooldown)

I figured that would be a little more interesting than a simple 25% movement speed buff.

For a GM? As much as I think Guardians need mobility, that’s asking a lot for something so small.

Edit: The minor traits themselves are also what’s keeping people from going deep into Zeal. I’d like to see a rework of these.

I totally agree, I would redesign the entire line if it was up to me.

However, I had a feeling that Anet would only ever give us a movement trait if it was a GM, and limited to basically in combat.

That’s understandable. I’d love some form of reliable swiftness. I currently spec 30 into zeal just for the extra power while gaining no benefit from the minors since i’m using 1-handed Weapons. I truly believe that all of them need to be removed and new ones implemented.

For me, I’d merge Amplified Wrath and Kindled Zeal, and make the new AW “Your Symbols act as a Fire Field”. That would give 3 build defining traits in Zeal that don’t compete with each other. After that, I’d try to streamline the other traits that might not be quite as attractive. I think a lot of issues with Zeal are not actually in Zeal though. The traits for Spirit Weapons are decent, but Spirit Weapons themselves aren’t up to snuff of any other minion skill. Symbols in Zeal are also alright, but with not every weapon set having a symbol to take advantage of, it negatively affects many possible choices for builds. Scepter Power might be attractive, but the only symbol I’ll get will be at 50% hp with a ranged weapon.
