Guild Wars 2

any1 else thinking about going for a retaliation build? maybe?

If the trait really gets buffed like mentioned in the patch preview it seems quite good. Should equal almost 50% uptime in PvP. Lets wait and see.

Going to give it a try in gs+rifle build. Still can’t decide between vigor on stances/signet mastery or reckless dodge (the last option i will be looking for as dodge will be procing confusion)

I was thinking it might be better off in Pve, but in Pvp it could still be decent, depending on your opponent’s crit chance.
And also, does the sigil of luck have an ICD? if not, then you could run into a mob and gain tons of any boon, even though its a 50% chance. that’s a pretty high frequency

I’m thinking about trying this with the new stance heal.

I took this trait, attacked the thief-bot in mists once and then just stood motionless in front of him with toughness/vitality gear and healing signet equipped. He killed himself when i had ~ 5k HP left.

Not bad i’d say

And in wvw i can archieve 2,7k power.. 270/hit sounds pretty good on 50% uptime

It will hit higher. Formula is: 198.45 + (0.075 * Power) according to wiki.
In my case with ~2000 power it was around 340/hit. And its affected by might of course.

^ Reduced by 33% in spvp/wvw

thanks, did not know this

My guild has been running the retal build for a while with great success. This cd reduction makes it even sweeter. With 30 in tactics you would have ~6.5 second uptime at 10 second intervals. In addition to retal given by guardians you can conceivably have 100% uptime. You get what I’m saying?

Throw on Short Temper and/or Mighty Defense with Retalition build ftw
