Guild Wars 2

Why should i use them?

Sure mediations heal you if you trait for them and then? I can imagine that they are in a good shape in PVP but whats with PVE. Yes, there it is the PVE/PVP dilemma again.

What about signets. Sure they were buffed. Was is enough? I mean do we need condi buff on them? Do we need a downed rebirth in PVE? What about more damage or reducing damage. I mean at least the last two skills seem to be okay. What about the relevant traits? 4s fury anyone?

Sure the profession is in a great shape i mean you can play. You can play a p/p engi as well.

Now what would i do:

Meditations would be offensive buffs while the shouts are rather defensive ones.
Signets should be something for casual players. If you don’t want to rely on activating your skills.

signet of mercy is useful for pvp but not something that you have to absolutely have on your skills bar.

The reason why you don’t see them, is the lack of support. Meditation are completely selfish, and bring nothing to the group. Maybe if Focused Mind was a group buff you’d see them more.

Signets are also selfish, and are not that great either. Shelter is better then SoR for the most part. Bane is nice for power, but the knockdown doesn’t have a lot of purpose in PvE. Wrath is completely out of the question. Healing Power isn’t that important in PvE, and the rez takes way too long. So Mercy gets skipped. Last one is Judgment which is ok, however it’s still not going to save you from large amounts of damage.

I run meditations in PVE all the time. Their wonderful! the point of running a meditation build is our only selfish build really. Im always solo exploring areas in pvp so its a build that provides a few things

Great damage (Fury and crit damage makes high burst)
Great Defence (High healing/armor/condi removal)
Can run almost any weapons with the right set up.

when you just dont care about helping others and only have to worry about yourself its an awesome pve build.
