Guild Wars 2

I think you get the benefit of on-block traits, but not aegis traits. Aegis traits are only for Aegis you apply.

Traits that not synergize affect Aegis which comes directly from Guard, who has those traits equipped.

Most of traits which synergize with Turai’s passive proc on block. The only exception is Unscated Contender.

Guardian has the most synergy with this Mist Champion. For instance Warrior has only 2 traits working well with Desert Carapace:

• Gain might on block.
• Gain Retaliation on block (5 cd).

Before condition damage changed battles between Guardian and Necromancer were 5 minutes long if no one interfered – fair 1versus 1 combats. Necro applied some condies… Guard cleansed them. But now fate of the battle depends on the ability to maintain your conditions until enemy will waste all of his condi removals. It’s nice to see that with torch you can maintain 4-7 stacks of burning for so long (2k dmg per tick). Sadly shield still isn’t so useful.
