Soothing Bastion - Needs to change
I always hate traits like this, but I REALLY hate Soothing Bastion and any other traits that interrupt skills. I don’t care how powerful the auto-proc is, I HATE it.
So I feel like Soothing Bastion should do something different. I feel like Life Siphon is a Shiro thing and Resistance is kinda Mallyx’s territory. Instead, it could increase the strength of Regen or give people a small Regen when you apply Protection or something.

Or make the boon duration increase actually work you can even increase it to 3 sec.

Aha, I completely forgot it even did that (maybe because it’s broken and doesn’t do anything at all!).
I think a boon duration increase of a couple seconds is just way too weak for a GM trait, I mean, we get a +15% increase just by taking the Herald line and then we can get a +50% increase for activating a facet.

I do not agree and there is a reason :p runes of the revenant 2 seconds resistance (and similar effects). Using envoy after the proc would makes it last for 5 seconds. It’s weak for long duration boons but it’s really strong on short duration ones.

Hmm, that’s true.
It’s kinda only good for Stab, Resistance, and Quickness, but I guess that’s kinda the point.

That’s actually a good point, forgot to mention that. But the crappy auto-affect would almost negate that.

No doubt.

The only two problems I have with Shield are: Soothing Bastion still hasn’t been fixed to increase boon duration despite me bug reporting it almost monthly since BWE2 and the fact they forgot to increase Healing Power scalling of Crystal Hibernation when they nerfed base value with recent balance patch, kittening Revenants using HP again.
