Guild Wars 2

New grand master trait, replaces kindeled zeal.

Hell Fire:
Apply one stack of bleed, torment and confusion for 8s when you burn a foe.

We need an option like this. I honestly think it could be that easy to open up a complete new range of Condition builds for guardians.

we all know it is not about the amount of condi damage stat we can aquire to make burning alone viable.

this mastertrait would instantly make a guardian a condi guard without influenceing existing builds. It is a role definig trait that can go well with multiple directions.

you can go for burning spirit weapons, burn on block and so on.
core condi build would feature permeating wrath and supreme justice would finally have a purpose.

what do you guys think?

We just gained 5-10k damage in 20 seconds. Not to mention those stack intensly. Thieves wouldn’t stand a chance and any poor condition build just got OP.

I don’t want the guardian to have mesmer-like conditions anyways. Just buff up some of our very poor traits and I’ll be happy.

if anything condi-based trait is put into any line besides radiance then it’s not gonna work. the miss-mash of traits in traits lines is my biggest gripe.

Add chill, bleed and burn to the sword chain. Make scepter 1 a chain and do the exact same thing.

Those weapons are also improved by radiance.

This would improve other stuff at the same time. Like soft cc.

Cure the disease instead treating the symptoms.

Eh. I’ve always been a fan of making a “light-based” form of condition attack. It’d fit the flame and spiritual wrath angle Guardians have, and shouldn’t verge too far into the turf called “OP.” Another option could apply damage for Blinds placed on the target, or what have you. In relation to the idea of Torment, maybe something that triggers upon Burns? (Could be a concept of “burning away” at the target’s spirit/will?)

As for Supreme Justice and Permeating Wrath, I use -and like- both on my Guard alt. However, it’s not easy to cover all the Burns, as things lie.
