As a guardian main who mostly plays pve here’s some of my thoughts..
Traps:
- Light’s Judgement is obviously amazing for pve content as it provides tons of vuln
- Procession of Blades is fine imo, maybe increase the radius a bit.
- Test of Faith feels rather underwhelming for current content as mobs usually don’t run away or stuff like that and triggering the damage part is rather rare.
- Fragements of Faith seems fine to me.
- Haven’t played with the Heal and Elite a lot because it feels like Shelter and Feel My Wrath outclass them by a lot.
Longbow:
- As a ranged weapon I suppose it’s okay overall.
- True Shot has respectable damage although the root is a bit annoying.
- Hunter’s Ward could imo use some more damage on the first hits and in return remove some damage of the final impact if needed.
- Symbol of Energy and Deflecting Shot are fine.
Traits:
- Piercing Light feels a bit underwhelming as it is right now, I’d like the already suggested 20% cdr on it as well.
- Zealot’s Aggression and Soaring Devastation are fine.
- All Master Traits are imo very weak for pve, I can’t think of any situation where you’d want any of these.
- I’d personally like to see Pure of Sight moved to a major trait so you can trait for it if you plan to be ranged and disable it if you plan to go melee.
- Grandmaster Traits all seem okay for different things, obviously Big Game Hunter is the choice for pve and it’s in a good spot imo.
- As a general point, I’d really like to see virtues be instant cast again as it’s really frustrating when you’re used to activating a virtue mid animation of another skill only to have that skill cancled. To me it just feels uneccessary on F1 and F3 to have cast times and they really mess up the synergy with other trait lines.
