The buffs to the PVE capabilities of guardian were very well received. A long overdue balance patch tinkering with the raw numbers for a lot of the core skills the class uses and most the buffs affected skills that guardians use constantly (exception of scalding thorn).

However, the main issue I wanted to highlight is the cooldown of the skill Dragons Maw. Ever since the rework of this skill it has become the signature skill of the class, but it suffers from a too high cooldown to make the PVE skill rotation feel smooth, especially when speed buffs like rage consumption are active, or you are playing in a group with a shai. What ends up happening is that guardian runs out of skills to use, and you're forced to engage in clunky makeshitf timewasters to stall for the cooldown to come off. The solution would be to lower the cooldown of Dragons Maw by 2 seconds. Not only would this make the rotation bulletproof for people playing with shai but also for individuals with higher framerates as we all know that animation speed scales with framerate. 

The second topic would be reverting the interactions between scornful slash and suppress. The change on global labs introduced more clunkiness with the two mentioned skills in which you lose half of the skill Scornful Slash if used after suppress, but the animation is also really slow and clunky. I would suggest reverting this change back to what it was where guardian was able to cast scornful slash normally after suppress.

Agree with both of these solely because of the class experience in PVE.  Dragons Maw is a little too long, and the interaction between Suppress and Scornful Slash serves no use.  It hinders our ability to grind with shai buffs and certainly has no meaningful impact in a PVP context.

Flow: suppress blocking attack 1 of scornful slash is very annoying for sure!
