Guardians' (or anyone) Input on the Zealot's
IMO, worthless stat combo. I would never use a piece that has healing power, but no toughness.
You may be able to use Zealot’s to supplement the rest of your gear and round out stats. But I would never use more than 1 piece probably.
A stat combo that I would actually be useful though – Toughness Primary, Power/Condi Secondary.
I think it might be useful in pve when learning to transition from whatever gear to berserker (similar to Knights) and it’s cool because it’s primary stat is power, so I’d probably use it while learning, say, a guardian or an elementalist in dungeons.
Though, since I have both, I will say I’ll pass on the stat combo. I’m glad that they’re making new ones though
And all who stood by and did nothing, who are they to criticize the sacrifices of others?
Our blood has bought their lives.
I’ll try out a full set for my Ranger once I get everything, just because I’ve pretty much tried out a full exotic set of everything except Sentinel so far (liker seriously, everything from shaman to settler, cavalier, valkyrie, rabid, zerker, carrion, soldier, rampager, magi, etc.) . But, because of how skills scale with healing power, its really most effective if you combine it with Toughness or Vitality, so, I’m not really sure how well it would work.
Probably not viable on its own, but it might very well be useful when mixed with certain other nomenclatures (like Cleric’s or Cavalier’s).
Well I’m thinking it might synergize well with Cleric’s (as afore mentioned) but also a lot of guard abilities passively draw off of healing such as Resolve, our heals, the silly heal meditation, trait where symbols heal (on top of mace symbol healing). I feel it could end up being a powerful combo with a specific build or such for classes like that including Ele’s.
I will probably mix and match a few pieces and experiment with it mixed with cleric’s for some roaming potential.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
I don’kittens gonna be a popular choice.
Stats combination like these would be better :
1) Healing Power, Power, Vitality : Mix with Cleric to give Toughness and Vitality would make a more balanced build.
2) Power, Precision, Toughness and Power, Precision, Vitality. For those who want to be DPS, but just need a bit of defensive stats to help them survive. For now you can use Knight, but PPT would be better in my opinion. PPV would be for the same reason but for those who prefer a big more HP (Would be good for an Elementalist that want about 13K hp before going full Berserker after that. )
3) Vitality, Toughness, Healing Power. I would use that on my WvW Guardian for when i command in a big Zerg vs Zerg (i just need to stay alive in there while other are making the damage), but it would suck for all the other part of the game lol.
