Guild Wars 2

As you can see i’m a ranger main and i don’t even play Guard/DH so i didn’t pay too much attention to it.
Now to my question, while i think the trait and it’s CD are fine and totally in line with other traits that work like this, the CD only affects the trap part of the skill, which means you literally gain Aegis every time you get CC’ed which makes it nearly impossible to set up a burst on DH. So is it intended for the Aegis on CC to have no internal CD at all or is it bugged?

Aegis is every control, traps is every 36 sec with traits.

BTW aegis after control make guardian invurnable vs burst DMG ? Use CC on guardina + one AA and now you make burst.

I’ll agree that the aegis is kinda dumb. Our virtues line has an aegis on CC trait and that has a whole 30s CD. Maybe they should just remove the aegis entirely and drop some extra protection on it (like 2-3s). Not to mention that it also procs stab and even more aegis after the CC, so a follow up CC is usually out of the question.

Keep in mind that CCing a guardian isn’t the only way to set up a burst. We can still be immobbed, and soft-CCed. Additionally, a coordinated burst by 3 people is not going to be stopped by a single aegis. I don’t see this as a huge issue.

It is an issue its obviously broke and will be fixed. There are people abusing it on weird niche tank builds. Makes them super hard to kill in smaller fights. Its not game breaking or anything but there is no way its intended. Its not funny when somebody is getting healed for 1500k with pure of heart over and overa gain. People will always find a way to abuse something.

Honor is bad mastery line and waste points on DPS DH guardian and DH mastery line is waste point for bunker guardian because no stun ->no aegis -> no heal

But maybe change aegis on protection will be more powerful =)

And BTW who use control on bunker guardian with perma stability and uninterruptible Heal and Elite skill ?

Even if your not getting hit by CC there are a decent number of ways to pump out AEGIS now.

With the proper healing power & honor traitline you can output a ton of healing & that can work rather good with a bunker guard due to hunter’s fortification removing a condition on every block
