Guild Wars 2

The shield grandmaster trait didn’t seem up to par. Players won’t want to get randomly rooted at a health threshold. Sure, there will be times it will help, but it will also cause problems. Additionally, if moving interrupts this skill, players who don’t intentionally use the skill will also interrupt the skill unintentionally.

Roy seemed to mention that the trait did something else as well, but I didn’t understand it. Still, I think they should use the shield trait to give bonuses exclusively while a shield is equipped (like most weapon traits do).

There is no shield cool down trait either, would be nice to have a separate trait that reduces the cool down on shield skills and provides the boon increase on skill use. Not sure where it’d fit in though.

I don’t think any of the elite spec weapons have CD traits available, nor CD traits for new profession mechanics. Anyone know of any?
