Guild Wars 2

I have heard my lady Charr guardian say “Hold the Line!” on occasion, but it’s very rare for her to actually shout it. Usually she just says a generic boon line like “Armored Up!” or “On the mend!”.

Sometimes I hear a number of other unique lines, like “You’ll have to get through me, first!” or “You shall not pass!” (Not kidding on that one).

Other times she just says something ridiculous like “Requesting artillery support!”, which I assume is supposed to be attached to the Charr’s racial elite Artillery Barrage.

While I’m no expert when it comes to balancing, I too would like to see a rework with the staff. It just feels all over the place with no real definitive strengths to boast about aside from Line of Warding. Most of what you have stated about Orb of Light, Empower, and Symbol of Swiftness I do agree with, too.

Just because it is a “support” oriented weapon doesn’t mean you have to take the backseat to the encounter. An AoE blind from Orb of Light would be an excellent addition, and having an offensive counterpart to Symbol of Swiftness would definitely help it feel like a skill that can be used in the thick of a fight, instead of just a quick way to gain swiftness to get from place to place.

Here’s a shot of my Charr Guardian, Jhasta, and her favorite spot to nap in the sun!
