Guild Wars 2

Since healing scales pretty badly with most skills apart from the dodge. Does it not make sense to give guardians a way to utilise the healing power they have? Give us a total of 3 dodges instead of 2, now we have more usefulness to help heal and not leave ourselves sitting ducks in a dungeon.

Alternatively, make the 1st dodge we do heal for 2x as much.

I can understand Anet not wanting to increase healing power scaling as much as we would like because in large parties and wubwub it would create huge imbalances and yet another bunker spec.

I have not put this in the suggestion forum because I’d like feedback from other likeminded guardians.

we have five seconds of vigor on crit, with 50% crit we can get vigor almost —>100% of the time if we attack.

the real problem is that the best weapons to get vigor are scepter and greatsword… which are not defensive weapons, i would prefer to have a trait that would give me vigor on block…

but oh well, we cant have it all…

Considering hammer chain has more hits per second then GS with respective chain, staff skill can hit a huge number of targets when positioned correctly and that mace got a symbol thats aoe symbol and the fact that sword skill 1 hits five times per chain and that all melee autoattacks are infact cone aoe i think you should not write down those weapons for critting and proccing vigor as well.

Any aoe crit build has more or less constant vigor with what ever weapon you use and if you want to dodge more the just set sigils of energy in your weapons.

1. Procc vigor
2. Dodge
3. Dodge
4.Swap and hit one chain
5. Dodge
6. Dodge
7. wait max 5s
8. dodge
9, Swap
10. wait max 5s
11. Dodge
12. Ddoge
13. etc

Sincerely you cant need to dodge more then that! As long you fight in the front with a melee crit build then dodging isnt an issue.

Sigil of energy, endurance regen food, vigor on crit trait. You need more endurance than that?

I haven’t noticed that symbols can crit, if they can, this is good, but…

IMHO hammer chain is too slow, same with mace.
in real situation it will take more than three seconds of animation to dash all your chain on stationary target, which will move to attack the mesmer or the ele in the middle…

the scepter 1 is quite fast and scepter 2 hits up to five targets fifteen times in three seconds, that’s five crit opportunities per second! and its on six seconds CD.
greatsword 2 is 9 hits in approx two seconds gs5 is 5 hits in one second.
and gs4 is a symbol, which you say can also crit.

with all the respect on the short (range 300) aoe on the sword third auto attack chain, you really cant compare it to scepter or greatsword in chance to proc effect on low crit…

edit

on second thought, yes you are right; with half decent crit rate, you can probably keep high vigor uptime on any weapon, as you need to proc ~ once in five seconds….
