Critical Capacity?
yout got sigils that proc on crits, also vigor means more dodges wich is veru important now, since vigor gains is 50% less if i recall the changes.
1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.
Reason: Damage.
Suggestion: Don’t look for new build, look for a new class.
Yeah I get the sigils. But I was wondering how it scales without the the critical damage. warriors for example are able to use Precision along with Condition Damage because of their bleed on crit. I was wondering if that was even viable for us
Only procs on crit will be empowering might and it’s not that good. Warriors and even Eles are WAY better at building and sustaining might.
Ya know whats bad? Ive been playing a guardian since I started and I forgot empowering might.
We don’t have anything that matches other classes such as ‘x chance to apply x on crit’ that doesn’t have a cooldown of sort. At most we get the Zeal trait Symbolic Power which adds a burning proc (33%) on symbols. The text on Empowering Might implies no cooldown right now, but the suspicion is that the cd fact was just left off but will apply live.
As far as whether or not you should be focusing on a condi build, well, it’s a little to early to tell. The big debate is whether or not the ramp up damage on conditions exceeds the linear damage provided by straight physical damage. If such a crossover exists then the question becomes at what point should switch to a condi gear. On paper, burning seems to have a lot of damage potential even at small stacks and a modest of amount of malice stat. For now, my advice would be to gear up with a typical non-condi build until we get more solid evidence of the impact of the patch regarding condition damage.
At that point Radiance may be more worthwhile to slot full-time.
