Eugchriss.2046 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Why the hell does it have 6s duration? like if you do the math, you only need to maintain ~2k dps to reach the high end of average healing skills which is 6000. Not hard on a class based on aoe. If traited, it's effective cooldown is only 18s for skill wich is only surpassed by infuse light.Anet should reduce it to 3s.

Bazsi.2734 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I like the general idea behind this heal. It's conditional, there is counterplay to it. Cutting the duration in half would make it useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CutesySylveon.8290 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Yeah no, don't touch LoW. It's a very nice contrast to Shelter and encourages getting aggressive in exchange for your healing being dependent on damage. It has clear counterplay that doesn't involve having to stop all fighting to counter like Infuse Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even signet would be better untraited, although I guess traits do make LoW better.The reason? Because if you're not in a position to burst into someone's face, then you're basically playing without a healing skill. It's incredibly easy for an enemy to see that come up and leap away or pop stealth or throw up a block, and deny you all healing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollbirtan.2915 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I m not sure if this a troll post....LoW is garbo heal for guard in pvp...probably pulling ahead of Mantra Heal, but that's questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuriGashi.5617 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 It is on 24 second CD if traited, you don't even know what you are talking about. Also it is already one of the weaker Guard heals and kind of a joke coming from someone with a Renegade symbol as a pic.

Exedore.6320 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 The bigger problem is Monk's focus which is too stacked and inflates the base healing value of Litany of Wrath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt actually suggesting that either should be changed, at no point did I even say it.i dont really see any of the two as a problem.. i think the balance got bigger issue than a healing skill..so i dont say either should be nerfed ! but generally i disagree with the idea that if 1 is nerfed the other should aswell. !because these are entirely different classes with different kits ! and guardian can not be compared to wariror at the moment. !we already saw what happens when Anet make too general changes right? in the 33% damage reduce update ...all cc = 0 damage basically killed warrior because it was general change for all classes and not for each class individualand nerfing all might application on all classes and all sustain..basically warrior sustain was might makes right and now this is all wrong.. because of general changes nerfing both the might aplication and the regen on the trait its selfand nerfing healing signet along with other signets around the game..changes shouldnt be general for all classes but rather looked into the class its self with that said.. i doubt this is the skill that make issues with guard.

The signet heal is bad, really bad. Shelter is mostly useless since most of classes have access to unblockables, and oftenly they can mix unblockable+ interrupt. Purification is garbage tier and Mantra of Solace was nerfed so bad that you need a whole traitline and 1000 healing power just to make that poor thing to heal "normally", which at the end did deleted the Firebrand from the meta, because does no damage, provides limited support and is not tanky at all. An now you want to nerf a heal which demands to inflict damage (and this game has tons of ways to avoid damage) in order to provide a decent heal.Listen: the reason you think that Litany heals so much is due two reasons: the base HP of Guardians is low, and you're not doing your job avoiding the damage. Just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When core guardian dps was meta (not the trash, troll symbol spam), LoW was the strongest heal. All the builds that use LoW were nerfed to obsolescence. The heal is good if you can deal damage and have good access to stability. Neither is available in sPvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
