Guild Wars 2

I was pretty surprised to see a new quad stat combo go in with Condition Damage & Precision primaries with Healing Power & Boon Duration secondaries under the Seraph name. Were you surprised by this particular combo?

Maybe whoever came up with that combo was thinking about condi druids or engineers or something but I didn’t see how the stat combo was supposed to tie in with the Seraph or Logan Thakeray. Is there a link?

The quad stat that I have been quietly hoping to see, is the fusion of Zealot & Cleric into a quad stat with Power & Healing Power primaries with Precision & Toughness for secondaries. It would be right between the two. When I fist saw the name “Seraph” as a quad stat I was hoping i might be this one but… nope! :o)

The stat combo is rather terrible. Logan is rather terrible. There’s your connection.

I really want to see Menders in PVE

I’ve been surprised by this association, but more in a good surprise way !

To me, the association of conditions + healing + concentration aims at builds dedicated to somehow long fight, yet in a different way than tanks (dire or trailblazer). As I figure it, I imagine a backliner that’d be able to heal and buff other (druid ? Ventari ? Staff ele ? Glint ?) and impair foes (hence the conditions).
Precision goes nice with conditions, because it provides the ability to add conditions through critical strikes and appropriate sigils.

Now, I truly don’t think why it goes with Seraphs or Thackeray, apart from Thackeray being a guardian, so burn + heal ?

Anyway, I would have been even more extatic if Heal + Condi were the major stats, and concentration + precision the minor ones. And I’m looking forward for more of those in the upcoming releases. Maybe “Pale tree” stats ? “Rytlock” ?

And pvp Seekers in pve (power/prec, ferocity/concentration).

toughness/condy/heal works for me.

makes me sad because it’s so close but so far from what I’ve been wanting. The classes I play don’t get any benefit from precision on condition builds.

I would have liked:

MAIN: Condi dmg, Healing
Minor: Expertise, precision…

And:

MAIN Condi dmg, Healing
Minor Expertise, power

both have a real option for me to replace other builds.

It looks like a pretty cool albeit near-useless stat combo.
I can’t really see what it would be useful for, but at the same time having condi dmg and concentration in one stat set is something i was looking for.

Btw, for anyone trying to get mender’s in PvE:
Wear Zealot armor, a zealot amulet, and the rest of the trinkets Clerics. That way you’ll have mender’s (but the vitality is toughness)
