Guild Wars 2

Hey guys
Guardian was my 1st main and I have allways played him. Allways loved the offencive style Guardian has. And this kinda concern me regarding Firebrand

From Warrior, Revenant and Guardian I have to say Firebrand is the only I’m least interested, and I think it’s mainly from lack of info. We get an Axe that is usually saw as an offencive weapon (loads of damage for example) but on other hand the class mechanics look like its going to be focused more on support..

Also what type of damage will the class be focused more? Condi? Or Power? I mean condi kinda would make sence since its the type of damage Guardian lacks the most atm, but on other hand I’m really tired of all the condi specs.. beside Guardian, what other spec can be used in Raids with a pure power build? I think I can count them with one hand..

There is lots of info on this; at least as much as any other PoF elite has released … where have you looked in an effort to find the info that is out there?

From what we get here, they seem to be a support melee condition spec that works best in a party.

What looks the most interesting is the quickness uptime for the whole party.

Its a supportish condi specialization. You can either go on full support, offensive support with a ton of quickness or the offensive route with condis and CC.

Offensive support with a ton of quickness – what kind of gear do u think this might work with?

i heard people wondering about mixing seraph with some gear that imprves boon durations?
Not sure how it will end :\ with that very low health pool, outside pve might be hard…
If i recall nor seraph, nor the armor stats with concentration have Vitality…

its already known what the new stats are??

Wanderer has plenty of vit, but its power-based of course. Not that you couldn’t eschew the condi aspet for pure support…

I know of two stat arrays. Grievers is the obvious one because that was an official reveal. The other is Power+, Healing+, Precision, Condi which I found on Elonian weapons during the demo.

Seraph itself has concentration, why would you need another stat set?

When you get enough concentration, you can use Carrion or Trailblazer, if you want more Vitality/Toughness.

nvm just checked the stats, and made a few thing with them, looks awfull even with seraph+crusader, eavesdrop random gw2 players sometimes end in awfull result if u dont check stuff first xD

Crusader is a power combo, why would you use it with Seraph that’s condi? If you want toughness and healing, use Shaman or something.

Ya, you only need a few pieces of Shaman or Settlers to hit your preferred thresholds. Seraph for the rest.

It looks to be an attempt to add tank abilities which is very much needed in the class especially for quick fights with large damage. I would say it replaced the severely nerfed meditations because originally the meditations were instant cast but now they are barely functional with the cast time they require.
