Move GH and WoP to Zeal please
to be honest I always thought that SA and WoP should have been merged since they showed off their changes last week and put in zeal to fit the theme better.
I think GH should return as Valor master so GS/H playstyle could afford to pick both. right now valor master traits are quite boring and weak.
you are right about their current placement though. as it stands now they should not see the light of day competing against 2 of the best guardian traits in their respective trait lines.

While I can support moving Glacial Heart to a number of different homes, I really disagree with moving Writ of Persistence. Especially if the goal is just to keep it from competing with another trait. Conflict between traits for the best choice is bound to happen if ArenaNet correctly balances trait power per tier and keeps each specialization thematically consistent.
WoP does really good work on low-cooldown symbols, such as Mace 2 and the Hammer auto. These are also the most defensively supportive symbols that the guardian currently has. I can see how it also boosts the offense part of these skills (especially with the zeal bonuses) but that strikes me as more of a clever combination than the core function of the trait, which is boosting your healing and boon output.
It’s pretty obvious, and nobody’s impressed.
We were supposed to get an executioner type trait from SA but that got nerfed. With symbols being somewhat small as it is, it’s very difficult to justify such a small modifier. The % needs to be 20% and WoP should be in Zeal.
They need swap the Shield trait with Glacial Heart. The shield trait is weak as the weapon itself. Also +180 toughness to only self VS +150 toughness to allies as well, doesn’t really makes sense even if you use shield.
In that way, we would have more options.
