Guild Wars 2

I use “line of warding” in (PVE, PVP, WVW)
But I feel it needs a buff tho.

Especially lower the cooldown so it can be used more
or increased duration.

Well everything in argument is an opinion.
That includes everyone’s feedback.

The only fact here is “line of warding” has 5 second duration and 40 second cooldown.
That’s the fact

I am only suggesting it gets some buff, with duration increase or cooldown reduction
because I think in its current state is not that great.

Well 5 seconds duration and 40 second cooldown is still pretty useless.

Plus why would anyone stack guardians with “lines of warding”.
1. never seen it happen (PVE, PVP, WVW)
2. The wall is not very wide hence no point stacking “line of warding” on same spot as people can easily circumvent the line hence you can’t slice/split mobs very effectively unless you’re blocking a tight entrance.
3. nobody is dumb enough to keep trying to pass thru the wall once they know they cant, hence no point calling it “unlimited knockback” (also it does not actually knocks back like shield skill 5, or hammer skill 4 do)

What I’m saying is it is impractical in its current state.
Though yes its role is supposed be splitting zergs, denying entrance and so on.
But with only 5 second duration and 40 second cooldown is just not worth it.

I feel the staff skill 5 “line of warding” is useless right now.
It has 40 second cooldown that blocks path for only 5 seconds which is “meh”.
Hence I never seen guardians use staff skill 5 “line of warding” ever.

Now compare it to guardian shield weapon skill 5 “shield dome”.
Skill that blocks projectiles for 5 seconds (now it is buffed so we can move while blocking), it can be detonated for heals and only has 24 second cool down. Staff skill 5 is useless compared to shield skill 5.

Personally I think staff skill 5 “line of warding” need to be buffed with 10 second duration instead of 5, or a 20 second cool down instead of 40.
