Talk:Symbol of Protection

Rooted in place

This skill still rooted me in place on the 2nd August stress test. Was I simply distracted or why removing that note? Gnarf 20:12, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Number of Damage Pulses

The tooltip states that there are 4 pulses of damage, when there are in fact 3 pulses of damage. The symbol lasts for 2 seconds and pulses 3 times, applying protection and causing damage each pulse. Either the tooltip is bugged for the damage portion, or the symbol is supposed to actually last 3 seconds. Breck 09:41, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

The damage of the symbol is correct. The way it is applied is that there is an instant damage portion upfront followed closely by a tick then the next two ticks come accordingly.--Wrastor 08:14, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Visually inconsistent?

Probably something most of you don't care about, but... Anyone else feel like this part of the chain-combo feels a bit flat? Currently, you go SWING! BASH! -nothing for 1 second- Symbol! Sometimes, I even forget I'm going to be putting down a symbol, so I end up interrupting my channel to use Mighty Blow or Banish... --JunBerry 08:27, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

I think it would be more fitting if the guardian raised his hammer and jabbed the bottom of the handle into the ground (or some other dramatic action). So, it'd be more like SWING! BASH... BAM! The transition from Hammer Bash to SoP would be more fluid, imo. --JunBerry 08:26, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Writ of Persistence

Does it actually affect this skill? 90.217.247.232 20:15, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Last time I checked, Symbol of Protection pulses 3 times without the trait or 4 times with it. There is also a comment to that effect on the trait's talk page. --Felbryn (talk) 21:45, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
