Guild Wars 2

Im just going to lump all on crit things into stuff cause Guardians just for some reason have by far less than any other class. This post would be forever long if I listed out each trait that adds a bonuses for critting for all other classes. Either it debuffs or adds a condition to your target. Guardians have hardly any of those compared to every other profession. Radiance is our Precion or Crit chance trait and also offers Condition Damage and there isnt a single thing that gives anything for landing a crit. Every single other class has Bleeds or Burns or Weakness or Vulnerability on Crit except Guardians. Whats the point of even having a condition/crit chance oriented trait like Radiance if by putting points into it theres nothing that lets you proc anything on crits?

Well guardians have one of the strongest crit procs “Empowering might”. Due to its potential it has to be located in the honour line. There is nothing as good as might buffing your whole team

guardian is a defensive boon soldier, when we crit we give stacks of might boons to all our party, and survive via endless vigor boon.

Well, I counted three:

Empowering Might
Vigorous Precision
Glacial Heart

Incidentally, I also counter three for Warrior (or four, if you count in Sharpened Axes). Engineer seems to have five. You are welcome to do a count yourself.

Our only condition damage is burning yet we have no chance to cause burning on crit where other classes have chance to cause bleeds on crit or chance to cause burning on crit. Why do we have a trait that grants 15% chance to crit with a one handed weapon in our condition damage and precision line ( Right-Hand Strength) yet nothing that grants burning on crit?

We burn on hit every 5 attacks giving it on crit would simply be redundant.
I can agree with you that our condition damage potential is very very low… But does it mean we should not have a condition damage trait line?

It is not difficult to ensure almost 100% burn uptime on the target even without that. Again, we have enough proc on crit (empowering might alone is very good).

Haha Guardian has the best on-crit stuff of any class. EM is OP, might to the entire group on crit and if you have AH, that’s 70 healing to you per party member. Vigor on crit is also amazingly good.

EM alone is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all the Warrior ones combined.
