Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

I’m currently running the following in a roaming build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vFAQJArdncMAdOg9NAOYC8RglGAbYF0BeBCVgAwH09y2ZHtA-TFSGABnv/QeKBbX9noUeQheAAeAAIcCAGSJGpAiYMA-w

I fair pretty well with it and I’m happy about much of it, but I’m wondering about the celestial gear and trying to think if it makes sense to use something else. Realistically, I like that it gives a little of everything but it’s my primary source of healing power for my measly 214 Hpower.

I am wondering if it’s worth sacrificing the celestial to run say, more serker, or more commander’s for more boon duration instead and therefore getting more uptime on protection.

Thoughts?

IMO, boon duration is gonna help you much more than healing power. All skills pre-HoT scaled horribly with healing power and HoT sorta reversed that mentality and since your only heal from HoT is heal on aura, getting more protection duration is much, much better. Getting 30% boon duration is a real nice addition (4s protection on aura and overload). Don’t waste stats with healing power, just take more damage, more damage, more pressure.

That was kind of my thought as well. I kind of feel I struggled to keep protection up and it was a world of difference without it. With leeching on attune swap, I feel signet heal and that might be enough.

Thanks for the suggestion as well, I wasn’t ware that just 10% more boon duration would have such a profound impact.

healing power is great if you’re using water or arcane (it’s about as good as toughness if you’re running both), but you aren’t running either, so skip it.
