Guild Wars 2

Purity of Body – (requires unactivated Virtue)
VoJ – Passive -Burning Enemies now Heals you for 25.
VoR – Passive – Endurance Regen Increased by 10%.
VoC – Passive – Dmg Reduced by 10%.

Move Permeating Wraith down to Master.

Combine Shielded Mind & Indomitable Courage as a Grand-master Trait.

Done.

Hello, my name is Lonewolf, an avid Virtues user since well before it became part of the meta, and I approve of this message.

Interesting concepts, I’ve always felt like Shielded Mind and Indomitable Courage should just as well be combined, both are useful for sure but, would make for a better GM trait if combined.

The VoC passive you suggest would probably be too good to activate. Would be like the warrior healing signet, a suicide button. Although a passive 10% damage reduction would just about be welcome at this point.

Your VoJ/VoR proposal would make nice sense with Permeating Wrath sort of an offensive version of AH, but I wonder if it wouldn’t be excessive if you were combining AH with PW in a build.

Most people who go AH take up 20pts into Honor for Dodge Heal + Might procs… that would be completely negated and even it out, also sacrificing grp might and grp healing. Fair Trade.

It’s a selfish trait, where as the combining of the VoC is purely a group trait.. Fair Trade.

Yep, I agree with Amins about the VoC active vs passive in his change. There are a great many times you’d still want to activate VoC over keeping it passive even with that boost.

This would effectively open up the following builds and add some diversity to our staleness:
1) 20/20/0/0/30
2) 20/0/0/20/30
3) 30/x/x/x/30
4) x/30/x/x/30
5) 30/20/x/x/20
6) 0/25/0/15/30

And much, much more.

Okay purely hypothetically speaking, wouldn’t a 0/0/30/20/20 give you Heal on buff, Heal on burn, Might on crit and dodge heals? Sure you would loose Pure of Voice, but say Soldier runes+Signet of Purity+Purity would handle a fair amount of conditions. I realize there’s some trade offs there, but without doing the math my gut tells me that could make for an awful lot of incoming healing yes? Maybe that’s fine, but I would consider it a pretty strong buff.

No, the new Purity of Body is a Grandmaster trait…. so 30 into Virtues.

The best you could get is a 20/5/0/15/30 w/ GS ~or~x/x/30/x/30

Okay I read you, I misunderstood you there.
