Smiter's Boon vs Strength of the Fallen
I don’t think you quite understand how Smiter’s Boon works. You don’t just remove a condition on heal, it procs Smite Condition. You know, that AoE burst attack that will provide an additional heal and fury if you trait for meditations? Yeah, that one.
Then that becomes superior to Strength of the Fallen where you lose 1 condition every 10s.
1 of them needs to go. Preferably for retributive armor where you gain precision based on toughness.

If you are not running a meditation build strength of the fallen is better, if you are then smiter’s boon is better. its all up to the user.
I disagree. If someone is running a vanguard type build that doesn’t use meditations, they might want to take strength of the fallen over smiter’s boon. As a guardian who runs pvt for wvw, I rarely find myself using my healing skill (and when I do, it’s to retreat, and block attacks), so strength of the fallen would be superior in that case.
On the other hand, if I was dueling, I don’t plan on getting downed, and would be popping my heal every time it’s on cd, so whether or not I’m running medis (which I likely would be), smiter’s boon would be superior here.
Adding a total 2k healing plus fury plus aoe burst plus a condition cleanse. I know for a fact I won’t run CoP anymore because both of these options just look amazing, even though I’m leaning towards smiters more.

If you are not taking monk’s focus smiter’s boon is not worth it for dueling because our shortest CD heal is 30 seconds and 3 potential cleanses > than just 1.
Strength of the Fallen is so bad that it would be better to not take a trait at all actually. The “Lose health slower while downed” component makes it so that you bleed out slower which is a huge nerf. It can and will loose you games.

Which is why you fight on points so they have to kill you to decap unlesss they can launch.

That means we go from “super bad” to “super bad or useless”.
It’s… something…?
Hey since you are counting on being downed the majority of the time and hoping to die faster when there I heard necro has this amazing trait that increases damage by 25% when downed, might get you more kills and allows you die quicker.
