I find wave of wrath REALLY good…
…when tagging mobs in a DE. Other than that, it’s basically worthless with the amount of damage it can put out. It’s much too low. I’d prefer if A-net narrowed the cone down, reduced mobbing to 3 targets max, and increased the damage of the autoattack.
Either that, or wave of wrath and orb of light can be switched around.
Batman, I think the point he’s making is that support doesn’t reward players. Atm, only DPS does, so most people will roll DPS in their self-interest.
At this point, I think it would be better for A-net to just buff up the ranged weapons we Guardians currently have.
Suggested changes:
Scepter:
1) Increase projectile speed of autoattack to that of bows. 20% projectile finisher
2) Make Smite pulse every second instead of having random fists deal damage.
Staff:
1) Make autoattack a beam of light that bounces off foes up to 3 times. Inflicts vulnerability to them. (Similar to trident’s autoattack) And increase the range to 1000 (600 is far too low), as well as the damage of the autoattack (the only purpose of the staff atm is to tag mobs in DEs. It’s too weak for any practical fighting).
2) Have skill #2 inflict AoE blind on detonation instead of heal with a 12 sec c/d.
3) Have skill #4 (Empower) channelable while moving.
Sound good? Honestly, it would be much less work to change around some numbers than it is to design a whole new weapon set.

Ah no, it’s used in conjunction with Monk’s Focus, which heals around 1.8k HP on a 16 sec cooldown.
There really wouldn’t be any reason to take it otherwise.
Various fixes for this?
Give the guardian the option to use a rifle. (I could actually see this work; have the rifle shoot rays of light or something along those lines)
Or
Give the following changes to scepter
- Reduce range of scepter to 900
- Increase speed of projectiles so that it is almost instantaneous (like other ranged weapons on other professions)
- Make Smite a pulsing AoE attack (like a symbol?)
