http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Spiked_Armor is one of the Warriors Grandmaster traits, currently it is worse then other classes minor traits.
Boon: Retaliation
Uptime: 33%
Requires: 30 trait points.
_______________________________

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vigorous_Precision
Boon: Vigor
Uptime: 100%
Requires: 5 trait points.

This is just an example since both are similar.

However, as you can see… Spiked Armor is NOT worthy of a Grandmaster, it should be moved with Thick Skin or changed completely, also Thick Skin is worthless and needs a buff as well.

Retaliation != Vigor.

They are both very powerful effects.

So is Protection.
So is 25 stacks of Might.

How about we give… Engineer a trait that gives them 25 stacks of Might for 5 seconds on crit?

Tell me, where is that trait on warrior?

However, engi has better boon stack than warrior. Any boon warrior gets, engi gets almost as easily. Maybe might is a kitteneaper for warriors to obtain, even if harder to maintain.

Not saying engi is stronger, but however I think they should just swap out spiked armor and stuff like on every class for something better.

You will never be able to know what an engineer is going to do next…

because he doesn’t know it himself

LOL @ thinking traits are balanced this way.

Compare: Wrathful Spirits GM Guardian trait vs. Empowered Allies Adept Warrior trait

Examples abound, so what?

Empower Allies replaces Wrench Consumables which give you a lot more power, its a worthless trait.

Wrathful spirits… is nothing like that?

The examples are nothing alike.

I actually agreed with you up until I read this. You just cannot comprehend balance can you? That would make warriors well and truly unkillable.

I do agree that for 10 seconds this trait does nothing. That’s a lot of time for a gm trait.

Although I do agree with the trait is not worthy to be on GM, but right now with warrior having a good regen, getting a huge uptime on retaliation will only make it the previous guardian, and I don’t want that because the latter had been nerfed to the ground.

In conclusion, a changes on the trait stats I would not agree but moving it down from GM, yes.

It would be fine if they added a little bit to it. it should also cause bleeding on anyone who strikes you. That’s it. it doesn’t really need more than that, and it keeps in the theme of spiked armor. Someone hits your spiky armor, they get hurt and bleed.
