Guild Wars 2

Hello animal lovers! I’m back to playing my ranger, and I’m having a ton of fun playing a LB/staff version of the meta Menders build in pvp.

I just have a small question: why is every druid playing Vigorous Training in the Nature Magic line? I used to run Evasive Purity even on builds that had a lot of sustained condition removal, and on a build with mainly burst condi removal (Druidic Clarity and SoR), and so reliant on healing and kiting, a frequent poison and cripple removal seems at first glance more valuable than perma-vigor, especially since vigor was nerfed. Am I missing something? Thank you.

At pro play, you can technically evade one more time every 10 seconds thanks to vigor.
Which is the same cooldown as the Purity trait.

And with the evade you can evade 7 stacks of burning and 14K damage, while you can burn the whole cooldown for nothing but a cleansed cripple.
The scenario is exaggerated but demonstrates how it works.

Not to mention that the Vigor goes for 5 people, you included.
