Guild Wars 2

With so many guardian traits effecting symbols, it’s kind of a let down that neither of these weapons have symbols. Every Mesmer weapon set has a clone/phantasm (although these are more directly related to their class mechanic), so why not let every guardian weapon set of a symbol?

All some symbol related traits are worthless with these weapons. Smite could easily be turned into a symbol with minor changes (the way it pulses damage doesn’t necessarily even have to be changed) and this would make it useful with damage modifying traits in the zeal spec. Sword would be more difficult to give a symbol, though I would be okay with a symbol skill replacing Zealot’s Defense personally. Neither of these symbols would necessarily have to pulse boons either.

u an’ ur logical ideas… gtfo! don’t u kno where u are?

perhpas make these suggestions in the engi forums, they’ll be more likely to be seen/thought on

Scepter skill 2 have to become a symbol. it can be a very good thing

Dat soun’d crazzy!

I think that there are too many traits benefitting symbols too, and too few weapons that could benefit from it. Maybe is intentional, but i’ d rather have a symbol skill on an 1hander or maybe not having 2 minors that enhance symbols when there is already another trait for increased damage while on it :P

there is mace… but i too would like to pretend it doesn’t exist at times

Honestly, we have way to many light fields already. If they were to perhaps make them a field that is useful for blasting I would be down.

Frankly speaking since not all weapons have symbol abilities on them I would say either they need to or they need to make it so other weapons can be viable without symbols which would require a change up in where some traits are.

I speak of course about symbolic exposure, symbolic power & symbolic exposure.

So its either swap those traits around with others like wrathful spirit, binding jeopardy & shattered AEGIS. (they could merge symbolic power & symbolic avenger)

It also wouldn’t hurt if they looked at those traits and adjusted them a bit.

Or they could put a symbol on scepter 2 & sword 3.
