Aegis is a broken mechanic to the core. Imagine if you dodge you only avoid the very first attack coming at you but not all attacks for the whole dodge duration. That’s how terrible aegis is and it has become worse and worse with enemies doing overblown powercreep multihit attacks.

Just replace it with barrier. Much more predictable for both opponent and user, just more healthy to the game in general.

Or fix aegies to block for 0.5 seconds after activation.

I wouldn’t say replace aegis, but giving guardian access to giving barriers would be nice.

Or they can just give pure of heart a barrier instead of a heal, so that way if it blocks at full health it still does something.

I would rather prefer them to rework some Aegis related traits.

For example:
Instead of getting Retal on Aegis proc…
Gain 250 barier on each Aegis proc. Including Aegis you grant to your allies.

Ill rather see instead of stupid 88 regen per sec we get 100 barrier which can stack to 3000. Or insted of retalation we get barrier. But i dont think we will get anything cause you know guardian is in a good spot.

Except the fact that Spirit Weapons are to most useless skill type in the game and a ton of traits that grant Retaliation on proc and nothing more. Other than that guard is in a good spot.

PS. I bet if they released the data on the most and least popular skill types Spirit Weapons would be closing that list.

Lol, they are not going to give barrier to guardian until next expansion. But we will know in 2 days, though, so if I’m wrong, feel free to rub it in my face.

What’s happening in two days? There’s probably a balance update but I doubt that’s changing much (although I’m hoping it does).

They are changing core traitlines.

Sounds mildly promising. Source?

Woodenpotatoes made a video about barrier and said they are giving barrier to core ele (Earth traitline). The changes were in the server they tested the expansion on, and he also saw necro and Reaper changes.

I’m not holding my breath for anything substantial, but I suppose it’ll be interesting to see what they do.

They could just make Aegis make you invul for 0.25 or 0.5 sec that would be nice.

Sorry for my english.

Now that we have something like Barrier, it would be great to replace every single unreliable Aegis source with Barrier and modify traits as needed.
Instant Aegis casts, those which can actually be used to block somenthing specific, could remain as Aegis.

Replacing the unreliable aegis effects from traits etc. with barrier would certainly be interesting. For the other aegis casts, I’d love to see them streamlined with distortion. We have too many similar damage negation effects in this game and the whole principle behind aegis is outdated.

They will leave distortion unnerfed, and make new raid nuke mechanics work with % HP (like 100-110% HP nukes), so that Scourge can use barrier similarly to distort.

Aegis will stay as is, if the new firebrand heal wasn’t hint enough.
