Stoic Demeanor rework really hurts

  Stoic Demeanor: This trait has been reworked. Retain the Tome of Courage passive effect while it is on cooldown. Grant boons to nearby allies when you disable, immobilize, or slow an enemy.

  Why, Anet? Why? This innocuous trait is just consolation to allow us to enjoy making burning part of a few tragically burnless weapons like hammers and shields.  Useless to many, but lynchpin to some, because it brought in weapon options and let us enjoy them.  There should be more things like this, to let us actually use weapons we enjoy with our builds instead of always forcing us into a very few weapons.  Now it's just another generic, boring boon source with nothing firebrand about it.  This feels like it negatively targets exactly the people who enjoyed the trait as it was, for no gain, and a knife in the back to something that had no need to be punished.

• I can't believe those of us with hammers and shields were needing to be held down and get our builds gutted like this.  Let us burn.
