Guild Wars 2

Alright, this trait (Wrath of Justice) has seriously cemented in my mind that Radiance is really a great, viable option for a medi guard. I kept joking that Guardians were getting Panic Strike, but if you ask me this is a more well designed trait than Panic Strike.

Soft CC: The immobilize on this trait has been so incredibly useful for a guardian used to playing sword and just now getting my first taste of real CC (Sure, I run Hydromancy on GS but that ain’t immobilize, and scepter is boring yo). It makes setting up attacks much more viable and finally gives us Guardians something we have been asking for for a long time.

Counterplay: Even better, if you ask me, is the fact that unlike passives like Panic Strike or Chill of Death, enemies can observe our Justice effect on the bar and, if we don’t land it well, dodge it, providing some legitimate counterplay unlike Panic Strike. We can’t just spam against a decent player and expect to land it.

Fair ICD: 30 seconds is more than fair ICD for this trait. Also prevents people from spamming VoJ through Renewed Justice, and keeps the trait in check.

A tough choice: To get Wrath of Justice, you have to give up Radiant Fire (buffed and improved) or a 10% damage mod whenever you have retal (which is to say whenever you activate a virtue).

So we get a controlled Panic Strike, on a higher CD, with higher reward but counterplay through dodge. Whoever designed this trait and finally gave us Guardians a brand spanking new trait to play with did his/her job well.

Sounds cool but you gotta give up Radiant Fire for it……From what i hear, Radiant Fire is a must have trait.

Radiant Fire is really strong, but it’s bound to get nerfed. Wrath of Justice will be better for power builds that aren’t using torch, especially GS builds.

There’s no ICD in WoJ trait, only limited by Virtue of Justic activations.

^ There’s a 30s ICD, 24s if traited for signets.

I was testing this out in WvW with the new shout earlier today. It was pretty funny seeing people downed before they could even react.

Radiant Fire is the beesnees right now with carrion guards. But I like this trait better when you want to go the more traditional power route w/ marauder amulet. The immob lasts long enough for a full spin2win and time to spare to attach binding blade. Pretty ridik with Judge’s intervention.
