Guild Wars 2

What if Unscathed Contender was changed to a 25% movement speed bonus

And Power of the Virtuous became 3% damage bonus per boon

From full boons including Aegis you’d have a 33% damage bonus, right now with full boons and Aegis you have 31%

I can tell you what if: People would complain that the RS buff is not in the right trait line … or that it shouldn’t be in a traitline at all, it should be a signet.

People would complain

That’s about all that really needs to be said.

I would never run it as a signet, especially when there are so many retaliation giving traits.

I’m pretty happy with UC as-is to be honest, what’s not to like about a 20% damage boost?
Virtues and Valor are our two strongest lines, if we get something major like this I’d like to see it in Radiance or Zeal.

I suggested the movement speed with unscathed contender before, so I would definitely be in favor.

UC will never be useful in pve and in pvp your aegis might as well not exist.

That’s not true at all, with Fragments of Faith and a 1200 range weapon it’s more useful than ever. My only complaint is Aegis getting popped through my Shield of Courage.

Like … WHAT? UC is probably the best passive damage boost trait IN THE GAME, not only to mention that the other traits in that spot aren’t the best either … it’s pretty much a free damage boost. PVP , that’s probably true though.

Depending how much you tend to get hit UC is either one of the best damage bumps for guardian or one of the worst.
In PvP though you will most likely never have an aegis up consistently enough to make full use of it.

Some try’s to uc me I’m just going to throw a faster projectile and null the aegis long before their hit lands.
