Valor Masters
you are 100 % right. Without shield buff there is no reason to take the shield trait ever.
i agree, i think most traits in most of the lines are pretty meh
edit. master’s, i’ll agree in that i think the trait options are limiting. you can’t take a line and play it as a support or a dps. its either a support line or dps.

While no one will ever get excited about shield anything, the way this trait is designed is actually quite good; 3 similar effects for 3 completely different situations. It falls short on execution because shield sucks, not because the traits are necessarily bad.
Depending how Shattered Aegis works out, Communal Defense could be pretty good and we might get a sick burst build out of that. I agree no reason to take shield CD but if we compare Empowering Allies (150 power) vs SiN (150 toughness) they are not quite equal, just sharing the same number. SiN should give at least 250 Toughness to have the same impact that EA has.
