Guild Wars 2

Xaylin.1860:

I agree that it doesn’t belong into Virtues. You might want to look at this discussion.

However, there is absolutely no reason to move it to Valor aside from creating a bursty one trick pony Meditation build we already had in the past. Valor does neither provide great synergies with Hammer nor will it be a favourable set up for Guardians in the long run (e.g. Hammer actually needs a buff, but won’t ever see it when in Valor).

If it was moved I would either move it to Zeal or Honor. If it was moved to Zeal, they could rearrange traits and move Zealous Scepter to Virtues (Might on F1 synergizes quite well with Supreme Justice). If it was moved to Honor, they could switch it with Honorable Staff. I personally would prefer having it in Honor. Double blunt weapon Cleric, here I come!

+1

Move it to Honor because it pairs well with Writ of Persistence or move it to Zeal because it pairs well with the symbol traits for hammer. Maybe it could switch with the master trait Kindled Zeal or Binding Jeopardy.

Warrior
The new trait crackshot takes away the option to make all rifle and harpoon skills pierce. I dont really like that we dont have that option anymore. It would be great if all rifle and harpoon skill got baseline pierce. Mending should be made a physical skill and when traited with peak preformance it should heal/cure condition more based on the amount of filled adrenaline bars.

Guardian
The buffs to guardian were welcome, but it still needs more small updates on other traits and skills. Currently a lot of guardian traits feel underwhelming compared to other classes traits.

Spiritweapons need their AI improved and sword aa3 needs an update so the projectiles dont miss because of the terrain. GS AA could also get some more sustained damage (maybe increase the damage by a small amount or reduce couldowns by a small amount on the other skills).

The elite signet could use a reduce in casting time and recharge time.

I think Feel My Wrath! should have a small buff for some of the boons duraration.

Inspired Virtue and Permeating Wrath should be merged into one grandmaster trait, making room for another major virtue trait.

Dragonhunter
Defender’s Dogma on the DH traitline is really underwelming and needs to be replaced with somthing usefull like: you and your allies deal X% more damage to burning enemies (this will help getting guardian more wanted for raids), 25% mov speed while aegis is up or some other group buff.

Dragonhunter needs some groups buffs. I know its a damage spec but we’re still guardian and other classes still deal way more damage then us (we got got burst but sustained damage is really low, making us a bad choice for raids).

Getting interrupted while casting Shield of Courage should not put the skill on full cooldown.

Other
The new Shatterer is great. Would like to see more updates like this one on other world bosses.
