More Guardian Thoughts

[SSG_Orion]

What's going on with Reactive Parry and why do you insist on keeping it like this?

It's only an upside trait. It's gained by simply speccing into what you want to spec into and I believe that the benefit can be adjusted by influencing the damage dealt back to the target.

Can we make something happen out of Prey On The Weak?

Yes. I didn't comment on this one before because I had not worked out my thoughts and was considering that it might just stay. But, looking at it and playing with it...it's weak sauce.

I am thinking that it might just need to increase damage on targets that are:

a) under a health threshhold
b) under the effects of a bleed
c) under the effects of the guardian's debuff

Bring back old stacking Brutal Assault Bleed

Maybe...

Insult To Injury doesn't need to exist cause of Mark Of Permanence does. Maybe make it a Vitality trait?

I don't think I was clear on how the mark would work. The Mark would allow the debuffs to be applied, it would not directly apply the debuffs so the efficacy of Insult to Injury is still viable. Likely in getting the debuffs to apply at very near to 100%

Bolster and Tenderize just feel weird, especially in DPS specs.

Bolster, definitely. Tenderize, maybe, but there feels like more theren.

All 3 Warriors Fortitude traits should be passive traits without WH needing to be used, at the least.

WH would still require a skill play, but the modifiers from the other traits are just passively applied.

And I've explained Protection By The Sword before, it has a lot of potential but....yeah...

I think it's perfectly fine for a gained trait for speccing into the line. It gives a small damage boost and helps you trigger your responses more often. Maybe a small damage retort could be added, but its a freebie. I think it mostly okay where it is.
