Guild Wars 2

Hi Guys!

Im still fairly new to the Game, but enjoying it quite much. I play defensive, and i wonder if there is any good Elite Skill for that kind of play.
Here is what i think of them:

Signet of Rage: The passive Effect is almost not noticeable. 1 Adrenaline per 3 Seconds does seem really weak. The active Effect is nice, even though Boons can be stolen/removed quite easily, i wouldnt complain about the active Effect.
I do think the passive Effect could need a buff/change, though. Doesnt feel very Elite to me.

Rampage: The Skills when transformed are quite nice, but you lose all your Abilities/Healing while in that Form. Thats something i really dont like.
I think it would be a lot more useful if it would heal you after the Transformation ends, making it a possible choice for defensive play.

Battle Standard: Basically a immobile Version of Signet of Rages active Ability that benefits the whole Group. Cant complain about that, but its also a more offensive Ability.

So for me, it seems like there is no real defensive Elite Skill for Warriors. Rampage could be, with a little change, but i doubt something like this will happen.

Is there anything planed to change that?
Some kind of defensive Shout / Ability?
Could do some Healing, recharging the Cooldown of the other Shouts, applying some defensive Boosts like Protection, Regeneration, Vigor or Conditions like Weakness, Chilled.

Do i miss something? Can you help me / tell me which Elite Skills can be used defensive?

Banner can rez a downed target or keep lord. Decent for defense. However, the best defence is a good offence.

New skills to unlock soon. I’m sure elites will be in there somewhere. Shout for sure

Warriors are an offensive archetype, our defensive mechanics focus primarily around lock-down rather than boons. In that sense Rampage fills that role, but it doesn’t really mesh well with any builds.

There are new abilities for all classes slated for some point in the near future but I just don’t see Protection ever becoming a boon available to warriors. Weakness is far more likely however since it fits the aggressive model of the warrior far better.

Warrior’s Endurance: 8 Second Stance. 90 second cool down. Gain the Protection and Vigor for the duration and “Warrior’s Endurance” (600 HPS *.15 healing power).

Could maybe have a 75-80 second cool down

Edit: Would make a good defensive elite for Warriors.

As for right now, there’s either Rampage or Battle Standard
