300 seconds cooldown for trait-skills too much?

[FreshF.5793]

Hi guys, hi ArenaNet,

 

I would suggest you reduce the cooldown of some traits:

 

E.g. Warrior:

Defense-Traitline → "Defy Pain" with Stunbreak and 2 secs no power damage taken. 

Same goes with   → "Last Stand" which procs when disabled and give stability and You don't get hit by criticals for about 5 secs

 

These passive Skills could be activated without their purpose being fullfilled. For example beeing hit when the own hp are lower than 50%, but I am not stunned. Consequence is waiting 5 minutes which is making the trait for half of the game (about 10 mins) useless.

 

My suggestion is lowering the cooldown to 60s again. Additionally you could reduce the cooldowns of the stances with one of the 2 traits. Alternatively you could add resolution to stances. In a condi scourge meta the warrior is fairly underperforming in pvp. I do not see them ofter. Though I like to play warrior.

 

Biggest point for me though is the 300s cooldown of the two traits in the Defense-Traitline. 

 

Please reduce them.

 

Thanks a lot and have a nice day ❤️

For example this skill has a 5 minute cooldown in PvP : https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lesser_Endure_Pain

There is one of the biggest problem of this game, when they nerf something they just make it unplayable. You need to nerf things, but things need to keep useful to have diversity.

[Liewec.2896]

its how anet think balance should be handled...

they're incapable of doing their job so instead of tweaking things they make it so bad that you'll never use it.

they've done it for atleast 12 years. (smiter's boon in GW1)

[Genesis.5169]

Please keep in mind in 2v2 and 3v3 ranked CD's reset on every round.

[anbujackson.9564]

The effects from these traits should simply be reworked. Even in PVE, with the lower cooldown, they are beyond bad. Give the defense some actual.. you know defense with boons and not whatever the hell we have now.

 

Just look at the reworked death magic traitline on necro, which is as selfish as defense on warrior. Its not even close on how much better necros defense is.

[Multicolorhipster.9751]

They were supposed to be placeholders until they got reworked, but they've been placeholders for well over a year now.

[Oslaf Beinir.5842]

Consider them deleted along  side the amulets that were deleted.

This is what you  get when a job that should have been handled by a "Competent Team" is handled by  one person and fans for consultation.

It's because unless you nerf something so hard that it becomes useless...the gw2 community would keep crying about it, this is just a reaction from the dev team. When the GW2 community asks for "balance" what they mean is "Delete!" from the game.

 

Wanna an example? See Ranger pets...one pet does more than bark from distance acting like a controllable mini-pet and the gw2 community will bring out the pitchforks and torches...once one pet becomes useless that nobody can use effectively anymore...this community will jump on the next pet, till the whole ranger class goes around with a dead mechanic.

 

To say that anet always smither boon things is wrong, I mean...everytime they do apply some nerfs you always get the usual cadre of carebears saying :"is that all? we need more nerfs"

 

This community just keeps asking for nerfs until something is not used anymore in game...the devs just act accordingly to keep the job

They were meant as a temporary measure. After all the reworks are coming. Soon. Any minute now. ZzZzzzZZZzzZZ...
