Guild Wars 2

i feel like many of our finishers are limited to leaping and projectile finishers. what if we added blast finisher to reckless dodge? IMO it wouldnt break the class since although we can might stack, we’d be wasting dodge rolls in order to time it with our fire field finisher, and waste endurance and risking damage after. what do you guys think.

I like that, very much. This would not only reinforce currently neglected bow builds with Strength (GS/Bow, Hambow…), but also offer interesting combo synergies with team mates, at an acceptable cost.

+1!

That seems pretty powerful for a minor trait. Maybe swap it with restorative strength so people can choose between that and peak performance. Or perhaps leave reckless dodge alone and replace restorative strength with this, as they will serve a similar purpose a lot of the time.

Maybe instead, alter Powerful Synergy in Tactics? Such that it would then be, “When you activate a leap combo finisher, activate it twice.” Would give Phalanx a bit of competition, and make Tactics a bit more attractive in general.

If the goal is to give Warriors greater access to blast finishers specifically, I’d say add them into weapons somewhere – Skull Crack (mace burst) and Backbreaker (hammer 5) would be my recommendations.

Buffing Reckless Dodge would never fly. It’s already overpowered for a minor trait.

But if you’re talking about choosing another trait to modify Reckless Dodge, engineers have this exact thing as a Grandmaster.
