Guild Wars 2

As the title says. What do you guys think of Magi trinkets (precision/healpower/vitality) on a knights armor set with soldier runes? Been thinking about this idea of higher heal power and crits keeping you up as you whack away with Altruistic healing on and empowering might. The crits should compensate for the lack of power a bit. Should be running 0/15/30/20/5. Your thoughts fellow guardians? I want to see your opinions first before I purchase the expensive gear.

Anybody want to chime in?

AH doesn’t scale with healing power very well. (also it should be renamed to egoistic healing…)

altruistic builds work best with full knight for beginners and knight armor and zerkers trinkets. as eliminating your opponent fast is the best personal defense.

Wont zerks lower my defences? I’m running the traditional ah build so I’m used to soaking up a lot of damage. Staff number 4 heals me a whole bunch acting as a second number 6.

I’m sure it would work. All your other heals will be stronger as well. Just be careful not to run with too low toughness. If you use too many magi parts.

Thanks Pukknub. What if I split my trinks, magi rings and knight accessory.. hmm

Depends – egotistic healing, but not egotistic support ( since ah/em by it’s nature promotes giving ladle-fulls of might, protection and other boons to everyone that’s close.)

I’m planning on running dungeons with my wife an engineer thats traited to get 6 stacks of might when using a flamethrower. With empowering on, she’s dishing out a lot of freaking damage not even counting the condition ones. So this build might still enhance our synergy. So now I’m torn between grabbing zerk or just running magi. Problem is I can seem to find ascended magi gear.
