Guild Wars 2

Since all signets are getting double power, shouldn’t this get a healing increase as well?

No, pretty sure they said that this was one ( probably only ) signet that was getting nerfed.

No, I thought they were nerfing it, but doubling all signets power.

I rewatched that portion. It was stated as a PVP only change, so hopefully PVE will get a buff, but not stated, but in PVP it is getting nerfed. It was specifically called out as getting nerfed.

Wording was weird, it says active was staying as is with passive being nerfed slightly.

I thought PVE was getting double signet stats for all signets.

It wouldn’t make sense to double some signets and then leave the other ones hanging.

I didn’t hear them say anything about Signet of Restoration.

I didn’t hear them say anything about Signet of Restoration.

They said they were /doubling the passives/ on all signets and this was a change to every signet.

It wouldn’t make sense to just buff stats and leave the non-percent signets lonely. (The percent ones don’t need buffed though, most of them got a buff already.)

They said they were buffing the Attribute-boosting Signets so there would be a point in keeping the signet unused. That’s already the case with Signet of Restoration (you want to keep from using it for as long as possible to maximize your healing) plus it’s not an Attribute-boosting signet anyway, so it wouldn’t necessarily receive a buff.

They never said attributes, they said improving the passives and doubling them.

Everyone on the forum just assumes attributes but they stated ALL signets. Just increasing attributes would screw the other non-percent signets.

Not if those other signets were already good enough.

But regardless, this speculation is pointless. The patch notes will be out soon enough.

Doesn’t need buff, maybe active part do.

“All signets that just augment a single stat will be basically double.”

The exact quote from the sotg video.

It´s going to get nerfed.

Signet of Fire will probably be overlooked because it grants critical chance rather than precision. Almost willing to bet money on that…

They could of toned down its proc rate, but also raised its total healing amount.

Signet of fire grants 90 precision on the character panel, doesn’t really matter what the tooltip on the skill says. +180 precision might even make it somewhat viable.

I highly doubt they’d ever buff signet of restoration’s passive to double its current effectiveness. We’d be healing for more than 500 hp every time we pressed a button <_<

Signet of Restoration is strong as it is.

Signet of fire giving twice the precision should actually be meaningful now. That would be, what, 8 or 9 extra critical chance? Signet of Earth should also become a more viable option to glass cannons who need the defense and the immobilize. Other than that, I don’t think any signet’s passive will change.

I don’t really get why signet of restoration is being nerfed.

It isn’t particularly good. I mean it’s not bad, you can use it. I used to use it.

Doesn’t seem like something to nerf though.
