Guild Wars 2

With signet master i can use dolyak signet for extra 180 tougness (-3,5% / 4% damage)
And -12 sec cooldown on signet of rage

With destruction of the empowered you often get +6% damage, on some classes it can be easy +15% damage.
(3% per boon)

I have a hard time to deside, what would you do and why?

Its for wvw/roaming

Thanx

DotE. Mostly your Dolyak Signet will be on-CD, so you’re not getting any toughness bonus.

DotE is extremely strong.

And then signet mastery for the adept slot

Well i think +25% movement speedis much much better in wvw compared to the rest of adept and master traits.

Btw i also have last stand trait so i dont really use the dolyak signet that much so i can benefit more from the passive..

Does all classes have allot of boons?

Warrior is almost always 3 boons
Guardian en engi both have more.. Like 5 boons
Ele and ranger around 3?
Necro mesmer and thief? Dont really have much i guess?

The way i see it is signet mastery also increases your run speed by lessening the CD on SoR. Youll only have 18 seconds of downtime, even less if you have any boon duration. I never use warriors sprint unless im using all stances or something.

Mesmers and thieves commonly have 2-4 boons as well, not sure about necros but i know they commonly have retal, prot, might, fury, swiftness are their most common

Hmmm yeah lol your right.. so signet mastery + DotE and dropping 25% speed trait

So with signet mastery, should i go for berserker stance or Dolyak signet?
Dolyak would give me more defense because i also have last stand.
But i also drop 25% speed trait now so an extra swiftness from balance stance (and -8s CD) is also nice…

Sooo much options :-P

I usually go with signet of stamina, dolyak signet, and zerker stance

if you roam and small man, then zerker stance, if zerg, then dolyak

Ele usually has 6-7 boons up pretty much permanently. DotE 18-21% bonus damage against them.

Guardian can bang out 5-8 easily.

Warrior is 3-6 on their own. Signet of rage = 3, warhorn or stance vigors = 4, banner regen or dogged march regen = 5, stability = 6

Ranger can maintain 3-6 without any effort.

DotE is pretty delicious.

Yeahi used it yesterday and i did saw the extra damage when fightinga guardian.. Feels good when i see them with 6+ boons ghehe, love it!

Thanx guys!

DotE is not good because it always gives a damage increase. It’s good because it gives the increase when you need it; when your target has protection. Those targets almost always have at least 3-4 more boons.

I’d go with DotE, aside from Necros I very commonly find opponents with 3+ boons.

Eles and Guardians usually have like 5+ and PU mesmers will have alot too.
