Guild Wars 2

The tool tips on the spirit weapons aren’t that helpful. I have to go to the wiki to get information on it and even that isn’t as spot on as I would like. Its hard to use something if you don’t know exactly what it does. Please update the tooltips on these so that we know EXACTLY what they do. Also according to the wiki the bows HEALING does not scale with HEALING POWER. -.- I’m just going to assume that’s not true because that’s just SILLY.

Edit: After using these things a bit, oh look I have more to say
1. Bow of Truth..when I activate it it rains down the arrows on itself…I mean seriously? This would be ok if it followed me like a lost puppy but its usually more than a dodge away. Its a BOW, it should be able to launch its healing arrows wherever I aim, or atleast on an ally, but on itself? Sillyness.
2. Needing to have a target for the hammers activation. If the hammer can attack without having to have you target somebody, its activation should also be able to seek out a foe and attack him.
3. Same with the shield. it should go after whatevers closest, or maybe just not do anyhting, but for it to set off the cooldown without doing ANYTHING, thats just horrid, especialy when its a skill that attacks MULTIPLE TARGETS. Why should I have to have someone targeted for that?

Spirit weapons will be fixed in the next big patch, coming up in april, whit some other “big” changes on skills and traits.
one of the changes is probably the target of the bow, that become a Target AoE skill, and you can chose the position.
For the hammer, the skill knock down the enemy. If you’ve no enemy in target for the AI there’s no enemy. The hammer is not an auto seeking weapon and can’t find the enemy by itself.
I hope the shield will be ferixed to follow you while move, because actually is hard to use it well, expecially in wvsw. Abd the skill… I don’t know. We can hope it become a Target AoE, but all depends on ANet decisions.

And, more important, there’s the possibility that they chose to make Spirit Weapons Immune to Direct Damage (but not to CC and Conditions). That can make us, little poor guardians, able to use for a build.
An useless build, but a build.

And if we’re lucky wi can find a new Spirit Weapon Elite Skill. A Spirit Staff Weapon that heal and inflict damage.

But everything is in ANet hands… we can only wait and hope.

(p.s. sorry for my bad english)

Where did you get this information from? Any links to a developer response?

It would be nice to make spirit weapons useful. In their current state, they aren’t.
