Guild Wars 2

Yes another thread about the new traits system. Bear with me please

The Trait
Retribution- A very nice trait that gives increased damage when you have retaliation.

The Issue
It does not match with any of the grandmaster traits. Nobody is going to take damage over 20% burn duration and then pick Amplified Wrath. Nobody is going to take it over signet of wrath and then take Perfect Inscriptions. Nobody is going to take it with Radiant Retaliation because one is a condi based buff and the other is power based.

Solution-Move this trait to the Zeal line.

The Trait
Blinding Jeopardy- Apply vuln upon blinding or immobilizing the enemy

The issue
It is in zeal line when it naturally synergizes with radiance. Zeal line has neither traits for immobilize or blind. Radiance line has both. 2/3 1h weapons would benefit from this trait. They are also the weapons that do not use symbol (scepter and sword). Also Vulnerability now applies to conditions as well. Radiance is a hybrid line for crits and condi. A trait that gives damage boost to condi and power based moves seems like it should belong here.

The Solution
Switch it to Radiance line.

sounds like solid logic to me.

The retal trait is bad no matter where you put it but it fits in radiance because there is a retal trait in each tier.

The blinding jeopardy works in both zeal and radiance since zeal still has the zealous scepter trait and GS applies blind so your argument there is not too strong either.

Thanks for the post devil. Its horrible logic and Ill disagree with it to my grave but thank you anyways

I think it’s a valid assertion, but Wrath of Justice and Radiant Fire are both just way too good for me to ever want to take Binding Jeopardy over them.
