Thought up a build but can’t decide on a few things as I’m not clear on a couple of things.
1. Is https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Momentary_Pacification this trait any use when it comes to shiro’s elite skill or should I just save it for others?
Examples: Use with Mallyx’s elite as it’s a low cost upkeep skill and the trait has a 10 second cooldown which would allow me to daze enemies for 2 1/2 seconds every 10 seconds fso I could follow up with a quick condi/ dps burst….
or use with Glint’s initial elite facet activation then use the secondary cc after daze ends.
2. What scenarios would shield be better than off-hand sword?
Sure you get some healing, protection and some invuln(?), but you sacrifice capture-point contribution, as well as a massive backfire if your defiance bar gets obliterated.
The sword on the other hand I feel has more use as you have a 2 second block (Can you apply condis to people blocking? I forget) which allows you to stay mobile while using, and can still contribute to point capturing, on top of the opt out skill which allows you to inflict immobilize for 2 seconds. The 5th skill on sword is an amazing cc for pulling a single enemy away from zergs, rezzing or stacks.
3. Last question (for now): Does protection effect how much you are healed when you activate https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infuse_Light ?
I am asking this as it inverts all incoming damage to healing. If you have protection applied, you are lowering all incoming damage..sooooo…you see me point.
That’s it so far. All these apply to my current theory build. There may be more issues/ theoretical issues that haven’t been clarified yet with other possible builds as I see some skills and traits overlapping. Thanks for reading.
