Guild Wars 2

been playing an Amplified Wrath burn/power guardian (in PvE) for the last few days to change things up and am really enjoying it…..feels like it melts regular orr mobs and vets the same as pre-ferocity nerf non-burn dps builds did (though they may have weakened mobs across the board).

here is build:

but was wondering if the faster burn procs from Supreme Justice would be surpassed by the Radiant Power trait (+10% dame on enemy with condition)………or are you just better off removing Amplified Wrath, and replacing that with radiant Power?

has this test been done? are there any other trait/skill/gear changes to make to optimize dps (without removing the vit on the trinkets)?

You’ve got almost no additional condition damage, so I’d think that dropping Supreme Justice in favor of Radiant Power (which would also net you +50 precision and +50 condition damage) would be the better choice.

The only reason I’d keep SJ would be if you’re having a hard time maintaining 100% burn, but with those runes and koi cakes it seems like you’d be fine. If not, drop Amplified Wrath and pick up Radiant Power. You need to maintain burn so that you get the +27% damage from Fiery Wrath, Radiant Power, and runes.

With that kind of gear, Amplified Wrath is worthless. It will give you about 130 DPS (if you have 100 % burning uptime), give or take a bit. Taking 10 points out of Zeal and dumping 5 into Radiance and 5 into Virtues should yield at least 400 DPS (no boons) and more than 1000 when you have full support from a group. So the trait choice is pretty much a no-brainer.

agree. i have no interest in going condi…..so the 33%= 100-ish per pro, which is bad. 5/5/0/0/4 solo (remove s/f for staff when aoe/tagging is needed) or 4/5/0/0/5 in a organized group is best.
