Guild Wars 2

Ok. Guardian has only fire dmg triggered by virtue of justice. so what I mean? celestial amulet for guardian seem like wasteful cuz of having only virtue of justice.
I guess anet should put condtion dmg into weapon skills as well, just like warrior.

or replace retaliation;s intensity by its power with its Cond Dmg.

I’ve often thought this too. Every other profession has better access to a wider variety of conditions than Guardian. Burning is obviously very strong on Guardian, and can be maintained 100% with proper traiting. And Retaliation can be procced often, though its effectiveness is hampered in a condition build, considering it scales from power (unless you invest 6 in Radiance for Radiant Retaliation).

At the least Guardian needs some ways to proc bleeds, if only to add some pressure and cover conditions. Without sigils though, it doesn’t happen. If you want a condition spec, it’s almost mandatory to heave sigils of Doom and Torment or Earth.

Yeah. most people use meditation or shout build. meditation’s teleport skill only offers burn for every 45 seconds cooltime, and shout gives no burn. so even though guardian has the most burning skills but they are available as skills set that almost no one uses, spirit weapons or Consecration.

You’re forgetting Virtue of Justice. Also, there are plenty of traits like Radiant Fire and Defender’s Flame that increase the amount of burning you can maintain. Rock a mace/focus and you’ll be proccing DF quite a bit.

ok. here is my opinion.
Virtue of justice is fine, but,

who use that radiant fire and defender’s flame?
should we all use torch only for radiant fire?
is there perma block skill for guardian? it’s only 1sec block or 3sec block per 90sec like. you really can;t say you dmg them well with its interval. no kidding me lol

they should put more cond dmg into weapon skills just like warrior, that’s my opinion.
