At the moment it’s +15% which is pretty bad, especially when compared to signet of stamina which gives +50%.

I know traits are meant to give weaker buffs than signets but d/d eles, engineers and warriors have a +25% movement speed trait which gives the same effect as the +25 movement speed signets.

The trait is next to useless when compared to the other traits in the virtues line.

I agree with most of what you are saying. I feel its a tad weak….but then you have to look on the flip side. That purity of body can be shared with allies via battle presence. So I think the trait my be balanced around the possibility of guardians running that trait combination.

It definitely needs to be buffed, but by how much I can’t really say. Do you know if signet of stamina and purity of body stack? If it does imagine if purity of body was buffed to 50% and guardian running it with a signet of stamina warrior in group. In pvp this might cause complaints.

I have never tried the trait myself as Virtues have pretty good utility traits already. Therefore, I have some questions about it:

Does the endurance regen stack with Vigor?

I know that even though VoR is on cooldown, with Battle Presence it continues to heal allies. Does the trait’s effect remain as well?

Does the effect stack with other endurance regen effects and among other Guardians who use Battle Presence with this trait (e.g with 2 Guards do we get %30 regen?)

I am unable to get in the game at the moment so I cant answer these myself. As for the reason why this trait is so weak: its Battle Presence. Just by seeing the %15 I can guess that it stacks with other endurance regen effects and maybe even Vigor as well, so the fact that it can be shared makes it somewhat good on paper. If it additionally stacks with other Guardians’ – probably not – then there is your theorethical group of Guardians that devs were afraid of while designing this trait: 5 Guardians goofing around with %275+ endurance regen on top of energy sigils.

I have never tried the trait myself as Virtues have pretty good utility traits already. Therefore, I have some questions about it:

I know that even though VoR is on cooldown, with Battle Presence it continues to heal allies. Does the trait’s effect remain as well?——-Yes(for allies ONLY)

Does the effect stack with other endurance regen effects and among other Guardians who use Battle Presence with this trait (e.g with 2 Guards do we get %30 regen?) .

*NO to your last one. But using Food like Bowls of Orrian truffle and meat Stew (+40% End Regen) with a total of 55% With vigor to a maximum of 105% endurance regen with is probaly cap at 100%

So No this should not be buff if you run the right food
…..but what about pvp cought nobody runs it in pvp because other meta build are still too good ATM still plausible in pvp.

as a warrior player i do not mind seeing this grandmaster trait buffed significantly.
grandmaster traits are supposed to be powerful.

i say go for a +50% instead of +15%
so what if they took battle presence as well? that is another grand master trait!

if the guardian activates the virtue of resolve the passive is no more.

don’t forget that you can make it an AOE.
