Guild Wars 2

Does the latest patch actually open up any new interesting and viable builds?
From the looks of it, it seems nothing has changed for guardian.
Same GS + Scepter/Focus or GS + Scepter/Torch as usual with nothing new.

Signet trait is interesting, but I don’t see it being a major game changer for guardian.

I think the signet trait will probably be more interesting for firebrand than for DH, at least with regard to the active component. DH can activate Bane only once for a 10 second effect for the party. That means that one power dps will profit from it, but cPS, mesmer and druid will likely not make that much use of it. Guess it hurts less when you have to pop it for CC, but that’s all. Firebrand, on the other hand, can activate SoWrath twice via utility and radiance trait. Additionally, a condi dps and the cPS (and maybe cdruid) profit, so that’s much more beneficial.
