Guild Wars 2

Condition damage does so little for us, especially as a passive signet.

+180 Precision would do a lot more for Guardians, especially when creating a balanced hybrid build.

Agreed. We have tons of traits that synergize with critical hits but really cannot take advantage of condition damage because we can only apply one type of damaging condition.

Not that I’d use any guardian signet atm, but this would be a better state for that signet.

Judgement is a great armor replacement for zerks.

Yet you usually dont need it, if you know how to dodge.

Even the tool tip doesn’t display the right information. I can’t really tell how judgement even works. It says 10% all the time regardless of the recent signet buffs and the signet trait. For that reason, I just don’t bother with it. Also, guardian signets are terrible atm given the alternatives.

I probably wouldn’t take any of the sognets unless they’d give 500+ power/precision.
But yeah, Having a Signet increasing guardians condition damage, which is so poor that it wouldnt matter much if you have 0 Cond or 3000 Cond, was simply a stupid idea.

Why not increased condition durations? This way vulnerability stacking becomes more effective, so our immobilizes… Or maybe even boon durations… Atm this signet is terrible

i do feel however that all signets have their merits even the increased condition damage sikply for the active effect. 3secs to 4 secs long range root is pretty nice.

duration would sweet though and would suite the class more.

judgement was left out in the signet buff and was never effected by the trait as it is strong enough imo.

Clearly we need our signets to increase boon duration /grin

Actually, I’m all for that.

Only passive stat boosts were doubled. Things like Thief signet run speed bonus, Mesmer boon duration bonus, Guardian damage reduction bonus were unaffected. Perfect Inscriptions increases signet passive bonuses by 20%, which raises the damage reduction to 12%.
To give you an idea, 10% is worth roughly 300 armor. Not bad. While it’s true you don’t need it if you don’t be hit in the first place, it’s great for fighting trash and in massive AoE bombs in zerg fights in WvW.
