Guild Wars 2

I haven’t really considered balance or thought deeply on some of these yet, but I was just thinking this morning about ways to include more conditions on a guardian, and it seemed to make sense to put them on the Radiance condition tree. So I came up with these ideas. Granted they probably wouldn’t help a ton but they seemed creative and fun to me.

Zone of Peace – Enemies within the radius of Consecrations are confused. (Stack confusion for each tick)

Headsman Verdict – Shouts inflict Bleeding on enemies

Inquisitor’s Mark – Signets inflict Torment when activated

Reflections on Impurity – Meditations inflict poison when used

<>Frost Bond Ancestors – Spirit Weapons inflict chill when commanded (Probably’d be a short chill with the lower command cooldowns)

I don’t use Signets or Spirit Weapons a whole lot. Signets because I have a hard time bringing myself to give up their benefit and activate them sometimes, and Spirit Weapons more for just lack of playing with them. (I really should give them a shot)

<>I’m aware that the Spirit Weapon one doesn’t really add damaging conditions. There’s already A Fire Inside and I wasn’t sure to expand on that, or add the above. Other, alternate(different name), ideas were Spirit Weapons inflicting vulnerability on attacks, blinding on summon, or maybe inflicting a new condition that increases damage from other conditions. That last one being the least realistic. (Although it’d be funny as heck if the spirit weapon one inflicted something like Toxin. I just love the weird sound and trippy effects.)

wrong way son.

This game needs less conditions not more.

I enjoy the concept of building a condition Guardian. (And the practice. I play a condition Guard right now. I get destroyed in WvW solo but that’s just because I’m terrible at PvP. I mean I still DO it, but I’m slow improving because I don’t do it often.) Which is a problem because of the lack of multiple conditions. Hence the idea. But I do understand the PVP condition meta is apparently a monster. Its really two separate issues in my mind.

Zone of Peace and Inquisitor’s Mark would be pretty OP.

You can trait Consecrations with 10 points to get reflection wall on a short CD, would stack way too much Confusion :P
Mark aswell, there’s some sigils out there that can proc every few seconds. Torment would be far too easy to apply.
Would probably also have to have a maximum number of players it can hit (forgot if there already is or not)

Staff should have it’s cone decreased and apply randomly 1 stack of either Bleed/Poison/Cripple/Torment/Chill for a second. Not sure how it would be, but it would be interesting to see.

Reflection wall doesn’t pulse, but I guess tick isn’t the same thing really. Hmm…maybe I would need to change the description. Good catch. Consecrations are pretty stationary, though, so most enemies leave them. I was considering that some of the counter to the amount of stacking.

Sigils was supposed to be Signets, but I’m an idiot. =/ I figure that fixes the opness.
