Seffen.2875 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 While hyping about the patch this evening the Focus (Weapon) came to my mind. I realised that this weapon is pretty much ignored. I am not even sure if most People know you can Play this on guard. (except for the blast in gvg's).I really think this weapon Needs a buff/rework to put it in line with at least the shield. as a defensive weapon. But what Kind of "identity" does this weapon have at all? Right now you can block 4 skills /attacks with an insanely high cd. (which is really good for stomping, but that's pretty much it) And the Ray... well, four Targets, either friend or foe, 1 condition cleansed (which is not even mentioned in the tooltips) plus "dmg" and reg or blind. The blind is nice. But the fact that it can either hit opponents or friends makes it super random. I suggest either:buff:Ray of light: Make it an aoe around you, maybe 350 to 450 range. Keep everything else.Shield of wrath: CD down to 24 seconds at least.Rework:Switch both:Shield of wrath: Make it apply barrier to 5 People around you.Ray of light: Make it an actualy beam (like the holosmith ulti but a lot Shorter): increase dmg a lot, Keep the restThis are just some thoughts i made up on the fast. My main Point is that i really don't know what to do with the Focus. And i think it is really just as bad as i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcaedus.7290 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Focus needs a buff but not sweeping changes imo.The most conservative buffs I can think of:Increase focus 4 speed considerably, decrease cast time, make allies targetable.Decrease CD of focus 5 to 30sIt's a fine off-hand weapon for the most part. Like many guardian skills though, it seems to be stuck in 2012 game balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
