Guild Wars 2

Question, since I’m not able to play for awhile.

Since Litany of Wrath procs on damage, symbols damage and heal, and GS skills heal, and you have Resolves passive healing:

Could you get your symbols to pulse extra healing when you cast Litany of Wrath? You lose the block on shelter but you basically can double the healing that your symbols give you.

Thoughts?

I love Litany of Wrath on my Medi Guard
if you combine LoW with GS#2 and some other high dps attackes, combined with the fury uptime and the high crit rate thanks to it, I can heal myself for about 11k hp
very strong
BUT it is an offensive heal, the base heal (when traited into meditations) is 3600 on a 24sec cd, which isn’t too bad
Shelter has a slightly higher heal and a block but a slightly higher cd
I don’t have the healing symbols trait tho, you’d have to check that out, but without it it’s technically a stronger heal than shelter on a lower cd

Medi+Symbol build works very well in PvP and has enough cleanses to go toe-to-toe with burn guards. Traited Litany heals for far more than Shelter, deals good damage and removes a condi to boot. By timing your retaliation correctly you can heal through damage and dish it back double. I frequently find myself low in hp and 1-2 opponents go all in for the kill, only to see me insta-heal and down them both through symbols + retal. The drawback is lack of stability, so you often pop aegis for a stomp and are always vulnerable to chained stuns/knockdowns.

Thanks guys. I tried it and when you are dealing lots of AOE and burn, it’s great but the sustain of shelter is a bit better when defending the point.

Am using it since trait rework,and love it.In pve its obvious choice,its fast and you heal yourself while DPSing :-).Its very interesting and refreshing kind of heal.

Started to use it in WvW aswell,and so far,its going well.If nothing else,its much more interesting play with it.

its much more interesting play with it.

That’s something I think everyone agrees with haha

Now pair it with AH as well just to lol at your entire screen turning green with numbers

Here is the build I use in tPVP: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQNApdRnkIClDhdDBWDB8Dhj4hqGANQ9iXi/bLu77kmDA-TpQQgAA7PMWGAA

It’s similar to a metabattle build that was up for a few days post-patch in June but I’ve tuned it more to my liking. You can bunker very well vs 2 average opponents and you won’t get downed vs 3 until all of your skills are on cooldown. It can also hit quite hard if you time your attacks with retaliation/symbols/light aura.
