Guild Wars 2

Because I really can’t see how one could beat Valor + Honor + Virtue spec. Holy kitten that will be ridiculous. Full virtues + super bunk/heal skills + Altruistic Healing bunker? Neat. Full virtues + ridiculous symbols/defense from Honor + pretty much constant protection + full medi traits on a medi DPS guard? No problem.

Not to mention the burning actually looks pretty decent if one would like to go Radiance instead of Honor.

Yeah, this Elite “longbow” better be good cause I can barely see myself using it, ha ha.

Valor / honor/ Virtue will be awful to fight against in pvp and wvw and godawful to carry in dungeons while they brag about their full nomad set.

It’s hard to beat for sustain … it blows goats if you want to have any sort of offensive impact. Burning as your offensive pressure will be pathetic, even with Radiance, because the base damage is nerfed to hell and you will need to load up on ways to stack it to even get comparable damage to what it can do now.

As bad or good as the elite LB will be, tons of people will use it because they can’t hack the lack of ranged options and mobility that the Guardian profession has weakness in.

Well, I play PvP, so for a support build it seems pretty hard to match.

As for medi, doesn’t matter how hard the burning hits for, with +25% crit vs burning and a whole lot of ways to apply it, in addition to +15% crit one hand, you can get kitten close to 100% crit. All while maintaining protection through Focus and a very decent defense, especially compared to what it is now, AND great support through virtues.

Great for you then, I was just making a joke on how a great pvp wvw build can be a hindrance in pve in the hands of the wrong player.

I am hopeful I’ll be able to string together a Battle Presence (Virtues) + Force of Will (Honor) + New Elite Line spec for WvW zerg-leader duties.

Ah, haha I didn’t quite grasp that. Yeah, it must be a pretty kittenty pve spec heh. But I really wonder how this 3 traitline specialisation will end up playing. The amount of traits/skills will be extremely hard to keep note of…

It’s likely to be a simple question of whether or not you’d want to tank on point, or if you’d want to support from a distance instead. The price for that range is one of your trait lines. Personally, I’m okay with that considering that I only care about Honor and Virtues. I’d give up as much self-defense as possible as long as I can help my allies more.

Well, my predictions were true ! But to be honest, combining 3 of these trait lines will be so kitten OP that I don’t even care
