Guild Wars 2

It has been said guardians can no longer might stack it’s not even worth doing. Pretty much I’m going to tell you that is not the case. In fact I’ll show you how high it can go in forced controlled tactics. Now you can’t simply throw 20 stacks on some one’s head it does work that way. First of all you need 15 into radiance for renewed justice. The reason for that is you want Virtue of Justice to renew every mob you kill. This leads you to getting on average 9 easy stacks if you kill 3 mobs around you. Not counting the etc. stacks you get from auto attack if you let it actually finish. Or if you have a might sigil which makes this all even more fun if it goes off.

So the plan is to kill everything around you fast spam VOJ and watch the stacks go to obscene numbers. Then either whirling wrath some things face. Or switch to hammer and smash down on it with at least over 10 stacks. But in dungeons you will learn how to manipulate it and always have high stacks. You can also use your save yourself shout and the shelter heal. In fact a tactic of mine is on purpose run into mobs with shelter on for free stacks or staff heals for stacks then charge into mobs with JI. Then shelter heals spam auto attack or WW for stacks.

This doesn’t work as well in pvp unless you are zerging. Then you will have a lot of fun melting faces for a limited amount of time. That’s about it folks you can watch the vid for to see me in action doing it. And I’ll be showing another for fun build later this week. Remember this like my combo video is just meant for fun and make things interesting for you.

Works well with the Guardian Paladin 2.5 build here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-5s5VaZzCY

Awesome stuff man.

If you like that you will love the build. I’m testing it right now with some Gates of Madness guardians. Just to see if it be worth our time to put up.

Did you really have to make a video to show how F1 spam works with 15 into radiance? Isn’t this common sense?

And its funny because if you TRULY wanna do might stacking you might consider might duration runes or heck even boon duration runes (2x monk, water, major sanc) to make it more efficient…you know when you are running anything OTHER than brain dead farm content.

And MAYBE mention that empower (staff 4) works REALLY well with boon duration and AH in general, cuz all those might stacks are gonna linger for 15-17 sec depending on runes and maybe food.

LOL they’re always one hater….Perhaps you missed the line where I said it’s for fun. And it was asked I explain how I was still might stacking. Also I did mention the staff obviously you didn’t pay attention. And I mentioned in the video that I was doing it pretty much without rune and outside help. Which I did on purpose to show you don’t have to just to achieve the effect.

I do templates and open eyes and allow people to run with it and make builds strats etc…If that is what you came up with cool. But don’t be annoying on picking on if something is common sense. Because sometimes the obvious is overlooked. How many videos do you see with people stacking might well over 10 constantly in any area?

Not a whole lot if at all try and google and come back. Better yet don’t come back with a response because it won’t be worth the forums time.

Also someone just pointed out to me in a pvp setting. They might stack and then use a quick swap to hammer with the automatic crit run on swap. That’s a pretty nice smack to the face usually kills people. Or atleast sends them into panic mode.

I thought the might bonus from F1 can’t be stacked. I thought they reset those 3 stacks of might bonus whenever I press F1 again. Hmm.. maybe I didn’t pay attention enough.

I did this exact thing doing a boon tank 0/15/0/30/25 build.

It is awesome, but the might stacking only really gets going once the enemies are almost all down. If your group uses a lot of AoE you end up with a huge stack of might at the end of a fight.

I noticed it was not as useful in some dungeons as well. If there are a lot of fights against silvers or champs in groups of 2 to 3 with nothing between, the might only hits a couple times.

For large scale events full of under-vet enemy types, this strategy is awesome skill bar grease. For anything else it’s just not practical compared to other options in my own experience.

I’ve been doing this since September. This build works really well at PvE farming with tons of trash mobs but it blows in PvP and in dungeons. I combine it with the extra damage on burning targets with extra damage for every boon traits (without the block granting might trait). I find that I’m usually at around 20 might anyways so it is a waste of a trait. The downside of this build is that you die really easily so you need to actually be really good at dodging and using shelter.

@Xfrieze a little while ago they directly nerfed it a bit. But you can still do it this way as long as your killing something IE a mob or a person. The downside is without constant things to put down. It’s really tough to keep a lot of stacks even with modifiers.

@Roachsrealm Me and 7 other guardians did test on gates of madness today. Trying various builds with 15 radiance. I can say after 3 hours of messing around. It’s really not practical. But we did find a support way to use it that is a little OP. I’ll put that up this weekend.
