Guild Wars 2

An idea I’ve had for a while.

What if spirit weapons were affected by their accompanying weapon traits? Not sure if this would fix everything for spirit weapons, but it certainly would make them a lot more fun, and open them up for more specific use in builds instead of just ‘ALL THE SPIRIT WEAPONS’ builds.

This would mean:
Heavy Light would apply to the Bow of Truth
Glacial Heart would apply to the Hammer of Wisdom
Stalwart Defender would apply to Shield of the Avenger
Right Hand Strength would apply to the Sword of Justice

Note that in the case of Heavy Light and Bow of Truth, they would only proc the trait, not duplicate it, meaning a shared cooldown between the weapon and the spirit weapon. (Because that would be ridiculous otherwise, especially with Heavy Light)

And in the case of Right Hand Strength and Stalwart Defender, because there is no cooldown, their bonuses would stack if you choose to wield the spirit weapon and accompanying weapon, that’s +360 toughness with a shield combo and +30% critical chance hit with a sword combo.
