Guild Wars 2

Whilst I love the idea of this skill (I do have a bit of a life stealing obsession), the amount of life steal you gain from it is not worth it. To be in line with the other more powerful major traits (chilling victory/decimate defence) the gain should be closer to the life steal gain of Vampiric Rituals, which is about double the current life steal.

The life steal is not the first thing that needs to be addressed with this trait. That would be the cooldown reduction.

Yeah, the cooldown effect just doesn’t do anything. Below 50% you’ll want to spam gravedigger anyways, and the other skills are really just set ups for gravedigger. So….the Lifesteal is nice, just the other half is not really needed.

And the lifesteal is pathetic, other than used on GS #3.

They need to go back to the drawing board on this one.

I had no reason to use this because I want using greatsword, but even with greatsword, I can’t see why you’d want this over the other two traits that are clearly superior.
