Guild Wars 2

I heard they were doubling signets, does that mean SoM will be 200 from 100 like it was in beta?

Probably not, they talked about doubling the passive attributes given by such signets and an increase to the actives of them to make them still a usable choice.

Its unlikely the healing would be doubled

I think they just meant the Signets with statistical bonuses ie. Power/Precision etc. SoM doesn’t really apply there. Same with SoS. I’d eat my hat if it became 50% passive speed…

If it did, you’d still be capped at 33% most likely :P

yeah, but in combat it would be insane since the cap is 133% of out of combat speed, so it would be like our speed in stealth trait.

They said doubling the statistics, not the percents.

Healing is a statistic.

It wouldn’t make sense to not buff the other signets, but I can understand the percents.

Healing Power is a statistic, but the active heal from the Signet is not a stat akin to Power or Precision.

The actual description by the devs was that the 10+1 per level bonuses are now 20+2 per level, making the 90-stat bonuses from stuff like Assassin’s Signet or Signet of Agility effectively 180-stat bonuses. Nothing more.

Yes, but that means that the signets that need help like healing ones won’t get improved, so why take them over another slot?

Because you can heal endlessly so long as you keep effectively putting out and avoiding punishment, something that cooldown-based heals do not enable. It’s fine where it is.

No you cannot, that is pure speculation, you couldn’t even heal endlessly with SoM+Old Omnomberry Pie, which healed for even more.

It’s not speculation that Signet of Malice can heal massively. Thieves have made it work. Use it in the right situations with the right skills.

I’ve already given you video evidence that SoM is incredibly potent as a healing tool in another thread, “post-omnomberry pie nerf” as you always rant about. There is no speculation.

Sorry but that is for easy PvE. :<

i think its only 50% out of combat speed. bc of the thieves skill. it wont stack with anything else. basically i wasnt going 200% at all.

by 133% I meant 133% total not 133% above normal speed.

At best I’d imagine them doubling the healing power ratio. Realistically I’d see it being untouched. Time will tell. As long as it’s not a nerf I’m okay with it.
