Guild Wars 2

When I hear the word sanctuary, I can’t help but thinking of absolute safety, but the skill Sanctuary isn’t even near a “safe haven”; this is almost exclusively because of it’s size. Most monsters have a very large melee attack range, making them able to stand outside the circle (not getting knocked back), and still hit you while inside it. Not to mention all the bugs where if you put it down on top of something, it doesn’t knock them out of the circle.

So, do you think they should make the diameter of the Sanctuary circle slightly larger to help maintain consistency with the skill name?

Yeah, need more breathing space.

^^^^^This.

I second this post.

I think it should be as big as shield of absorption. And it would be nice to make it that big, seeing as if placed properly, this nifty ability can absorb trebuchets and catabpult hits.

I can hit that target with it being that small, imagine how effective it will be with a larger space.

I want to get a whole army of guardians to use sanctuaries to block people or trap them in a circle of sanctuaries. That is my end-game.

Have you tried the sanctuary triangle? That little space between 3 sanctuaries fits 1 person snugly!

180 radius sanctuaries would be lovely evil grin

While having Sanctuary as large as Shield of Absorption would be awesome, i feel that that would be way too strong, maybe making the shield 33% larger or something. As a big norn, I’d like to stand in it without taking up all the space or having my head come out of the circle lol.

i’ve noticed it gently pulses outwards now, expanding and “bumping” along monsters on its edge. this is a bit of an improvement. but i’d agree, some badguys just ignore it, just like champions and such ignore my wards. but wards are on much shorter CD’s, and have less of a “last resort” function as sanctuary does (when you pop sanctuary, you need the kitten thing to work). also, for example, those miserable scavengers in AC that have an AoE of like 300 range past their physical selves. it’s already got the CD of most professions’ elite skills, and i’d welcome a CD increase if it was made to be basically full proof. if it’s going to be this small and take this long to recharge it should be true invuln for a short period.

If you use sanc under water it’s twice as large!
