Guild Wars 2

not just power, i think power + cond dmg should be added into its formula………………
currently celestial amulet for guardian has no effect and no improvement cuz of not many cond skills for guardian.
do something balance team, do something plz!

The balance team is way ahead of you. This past April 15th -ish they added a trait called radiant retaliation. This trait let’s you use condition damage instead of power at a better scaling rate. You’ll only need 924 condition damage to out pace power, so go out there and build a retal condi guard! I believe in you.

Wow, it really takes that much condi to make it worth it? …can they even do basic math?

Ret with condition damage outscales ret with power by far……in pve. :<

924 isn’t a lot. You can easily get towards 2k malice, which is about 500 a tick, or 328 in pvp venues. Those are numbers back at pre-retal nerf. It was easy to see burn and hybrid builds evolve out of the Apr 15 patch, but I have yet to see people try out Radiant Retal.

People could be running around with this:http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQJARWl0ApSoFCxRIEENR8QZ9JsCRa1BQDslYdiA-T1xCABAcEAsU9H82f44PAQe6CSUJYWK/CAgAMzZGAGv4Fv4Fv4ZmzcmzcmzsUATKNC-w

With Might and Corruption, you should be seeing 3857 Malice, which equates to 776 a tick in PvE, and 512 in WvW (sans Might is 2809, 619 and 408 WvW/PvE respectively). In PvP, http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQJARWl0ApSoFCxRIEENR8QZ9JsCRa1BQDslXtDA-T5wCwAAOCAC3fQbZAA is probably your best bet, which is 3159 Malice; 443 ticks or 2170 sans Might, at 345 ticks.

I’ll say it again, I’m interested in whatever people come up with to make use of Radiant Retaliation.
(I realize the Malice Sigils don’t stack, and they aren’t calculated that way in the editor. 3857 is a correct number)

if anet balance team is way ahead of me, then why no one use guardian except bunker build in pvp tourney? and man, radiant retaliation is trash skill. just set settler amulet and compare its dmg to power set gear. akmost no difference. i wonder why it is even created as we should put all 3 points into radiance, which is a lot just to activate it.

Anet creates the tools, but it can’t make people use them

most ppl using what few seem to work it out
so no one trying to test new build with new possibilities

Its hard for most people to change, they need a “leader” to post videos of how something is to be used in order to finally try it. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again a vast majority of the guardian community lacks the ability experiment.
