how about change “aegis” effect into “blocking next hit which damage is above XX% of total health” , then change according traits into "agies also boon XX " “agies also reduce XX% incoming conditions damage” “agies retaliate XX% damage blocked” or “agies last XX second longer after blocking”
note : I think unique is more important than how powerful the prefession is , which is the major problem of guardian I think . Raid picks you or pvp picks you are not because you can play as muti-role, usually because you can provide some unique and valuable stuff . I don’t expect a total rework of guardian , that’s only possible when new expansion come out . But how to maximize changes to a profession in a single update and make game better , so I write this , hope you will enjoy it.
