Guild Wars 2

Shelter is currently a good heal when used strategically. It allows to stop incoming damage while healing a moderate amount. It can also be the downfall of a guardian when playing against another high skilled opponent.

Shelter is a channel ability. This means if you are interrupted while casting it it will go on its full cool down rather than a non-channel skill. This is what hurts a shelter guardian the most. Because of the blocking achetype shelter must be a channel ability and I accept we must keep it that way.

My proposal is to change the heal from the end of the channel to being a channeled heal itself like the elementalist’s ether renewal. This change would make shelter be worth some healing even when interrupted while still awarding the interrupter with healing loss and a 30 second cooldown.

tldr: shelter gets interrupted and doesn’t come off cool down for 30 seconds. Make the healing part of shelter a channel please.

I slightly agree with you, sometimes it is awesome, but alot of time. You discover that it heals rather a small ammount considering how easy it is to destroy, and as most other heals, the game mechanics will put it on cooldown even if you only block for 0.001 second.

Not a bad idea. +1
