Guild Wars 2

I’m contemplating a super-condi-bunker build for PvE/WvW, relying on Stone Heart to help mitigate damage.

My only concern is I don’t understand how/if PvE enemies can crit you and thus don’t know if this trait would be useful for PvE or not.

Thoughts?

It might be useful, but given the current state of PvE (I don’t do high end PvE like fractures), imo there is literally zero reasons to be concern about getting crit. You should be more concern about getting hit in the first place.

Some of the bigger skills would probably one-shot you so worrying about being crit is moot.

I believe it is a 5% chance of 150% damage, which is the universal base if I am correct. So no, not worth at all.

Edit: If you want numbers, you will reduce average incoming damage by 2.5%.

Yes, mobs can crit you. Sorry, I don’t know what the numbers are, but I don’t find Stone Heart to be necessary in PvE. Of course, that depends on how you like to play.

Yes.
