Anyone getting any use out of Diamond Skin in sPvP? Or any of the other new traits? The cleansing fire auto-proc trait seemed pretty cool up until I realized it was in master and there aren’t any good 10 point traits in Fire.

Don’t be impressed, in team fights Diamond Skin is absolutely worthless, you’d be lucky if you get the trait to trigger once or twice. Anything 2v2+ you’ll find that you are quite squishy.

It’s hard to even justify this in WvW solo builds, it is PURELY situational.

Yet another worthless trait…

From what I’ve seen, the trait shuts down necros entirely, and is just a speed bump for anyone else (at best).

And people are confused at the outcry saying it was horribly designed…

Yeah I too was running S/F 0/0/30/20/20 however I used a settler’s amulet. In earth took Diamond Skin, Strength of Stone and Obsidian Focus. It’s worth noting obsidian focus, rock barrier, and signet of earth don’t work with strength of stone. signet of restoration, signet of earth, signet of fire, and one other defensive utility (maybe GoEP?). The regen/toughness combo is borderline kittened against anyone without raw damage, however as soon as you lose 1k health it’s gg, which is not hard.
