The War Chant trait in the Guardian's Fighter of Shadow line has a couple of problems. First, it claims to work at 10 meters. If the player is not face-to-face with the mob, War Chant works less than 50% of the time. There is nothing to show that it is being resisted, so this must be a bug. As the follow-up trait increases the distance, there will probably be the same problem. As the damage only works for 10s, increasing distance may cause another problem in that it may well wear off right after the mob(s) reach the player. I would suggest increasing the time along with the distance.
A second bug is that when the player uses War Chant, there is a very noticeable hesitation/lag before being able to use a melee skill.
Another problem is with the wording of the trait. Some people may not be interested in the trait or the line because the description states that the weapon is clashed against the shield to create the damage. This is incorrect. I tried this with a two-handed weapon, and it works just fine (as long as the mob is right on top of me as per the first statement).
Other than that, so far I am enjoying the trait line.
