I actually think sword #2 could use a small tweak.

Remove its damage and make it instant cast usable while performing another action.

Another potential change is to make Guardian teleport skills move you without a target. Flashing blade and Judge’s Intervention teleport you forward to the stated max range, Merciful Intervention teleport you backwards.

sword wave is acting funny, thats my only problem, while it acting funny when hitting some target or change target, it also counted as projectile, so you will hit yourself.

I think it always worked like that, but it’s only a Whirl finisher in one of the modes, blocking or just resolving, (I can’t remember which it is) and that makes it pretty unreliable.

Not what I meant and I’ll edit my post so that it becomes more clear. What I meant was that it’s only a Whirl finisher when you block or when you don’t block (like I said, I can’t remember which one it is).

According to wiki it’s when you do not block and it gives you protection.

I think it should be a whirl finisher regardless, you still spin around and it only shoots out one whirl finisher bolt anyway…

Aha, thanks. Should have checked the wiki myself. But it helps my point of it being unreliable. Especially since Whirl finishers (for Guardians) can be pretty kitten useful.

I think it used to give blast finisher when it blocks too. Still can’t quite get why it got changed.

It took 2 months but sword remains the worst choice for guardian because of any symbol, boon and terrible mobility

Unfortunately, it’s the most aesthetically appealing to me…
I don’t go for full on damage builds and it seems the sword is really only effective if you trait into Radiance.

There are many other things going for sword despite the lack of these attributes. It’s certainly not the worst choice for alot of stuff. It’s quite arguable that it has terrible mobility as well. There are other weapons with worse mobility, namely weapons that have NONE.
