Guild Wars 2

Is this trait becoming baseline?

Even with that as baseline, It seems odd to me that sword will have potentially lower dps than mace due to the symbol damage trait in zeal.

No mention of it becoming base.

Even with it base line though the mace will over take it damage wise with traits.

I didn’t think there was.
Seems like it could do with a buff along with being made base – sword should be at least competitive with mace dps.

Eh even if it was base the only thing sword will be good for is mobility.

Mace will burn, apply vulnerability, apply regeneration, have blocks & do just as much damage via traits.

This effectively begs the question, why use the sword ?

That’s all if your doing zeal line. If your like me and you like to run radiant instead, swords the better option. Without all those fancy symbol traits sword has the faster attack speed (better voj), and mobility, and a blind to match maces block, and some projectile defence. That being said, while i’m all for mace users finally getting some love, I am kinda worried about sword dps…
