Guild Wars 2

Hi all

I’m running vigorous training since raids started, but meta builds say evasive purity. I don’t see the benefit from evasive purity, I don’t get blinded, crippled or poisoned that much, and when I do I usually tend to cleanse myself, or being cleansed, rather quickly. I think the vigor for allies that vigorous training offers, is better. Am I missing something important?

Don’t think too much on the meta builds. The main ones are cripple and poison as they mess with our mobility and healing. If they aren’t present, use Vigorous Training. If they are present and you keep finding yourself inflicted with them to the point of being a noticeable annoyance, then slot Evasive Purity.

Granted, I also share the sentiment of slotting Vigorous Training over Evasive Purity since blindness negates damage and not healing (our bread n butter) and Vine Surge can self-cleanse cripple and on allies in its path. Better than using a dodge in my opinion.

Not to mention everyone can dodge more with Vigorous Training – and for those comps that use a Herald – more uptime for them for that extra 2% damage per unique boon and 1% for us (not that it matters) if Bountiful Hunter is slotted.

Yes exactly. That’s why I prefer it.

Thanks

Haha, I guess I’m the rebel; I use Windborne Notes.

Then we both can be rebels. There’s rare occasions like at KC I take wh and windborn notes when playing zerker.
I meant the standard healing build though

Yeah, I put a sigil of concentration on my WH and with windborne notes + quickdraw I have boons/AF generation for weeks.
