The problem is that what most people expect out the guardian class is a traditional paladin, and what you actually get is a “Not Healer” buffer, a “Not Tank” bunker, and a rogue with plate skin and some healing instead of invisibility.

Hammer is quite strong even with its slow nature and shield already has one CC – few or none of the off hands I know have CC in both skills.

Hammer is ok right now. Ya the third strike is longer to cast, but hit for a high number. If you want a weapon quicker, there is the GS and Sword. You want weapon to feel different of each other. Not all attacking at the same speed.

For the shield, I agree that the skill 4 is not that useful. But a second cc isn’t the option.

Engineer shield.

Agree that the hammer feels painfully slow.

I have shared numerous ideas on how it could be sped up over the last 2 + years.

The most popular was simply taking 1 pulse of symbol of protection & lowering the cast time of the last AA to 1/2 second.
After that it’s simply a matter of adjusting the damage done by the symbol.

You would still get permanent AOE protection + it would attack a good deal faster (without the swings doing any less damage)

As for the shield. Most people agree it feels very lack luster & it feels very strange that the guardian shield doesn’t even “block” attacks.
There have been a ton of suggestions for fixing it, sadly none have been used.

Frankly at this point however I wouldn’t expect major changes to come to the guardian & I would expect the 20 or so traits that are useless to remain useless.
Unless of course they do a proper expansion & true overhaul of each of the classes.
