Guild Wars 2

Just took a real good look at one of our new grandmasters “Purity of Body”, since I saw it had to do with endurance I had initially glossed over it and forgot about it… Finally looked at the trait itself, like highlighted it and read it out loud and laughed audibly while noticing that if you switched Major Grandmaster trait “Purity of Body” with the minor Grandmaster trait “Power of the Virtuous” and increased the extra damage from having boons to say 2-3% or 3-4% I would have had a lot of fun with this traitline. Any thoughts on this? Yay or Nay?

I’m not exactly sure what you’re getting at.

Interesting idea. I agree that some of the major traits for guardians look like they could be minor traits instead. However, it seems all of the grandmaster minor traits are focused on increasing damage through damage modifiers (zeal, radiance, honor, virtues) or through boons (valor) so i think Purity of Body might work better as a minor master trait in Zeal or have its effect reworked to something like 5% more damage for each virtue that’s not used. Power of the Virtuous should still be buffed to maybe 3% though.

Those are really nice ideas, especially the 5% more damage with unused virtues, that would make for some builds that could hit a little harder, or even hard in the 1st place

Pull the O’l switcheroo on 2 traits, how does that not make sense?
