Active – Heal yourself and gives 5 seconds of stability up to 5 allies.
it will be released next year !
If they are going to increase it to 3%, i will swap my scholar runes for boon duration rune since i am already going into 25 in virtues for absolute resolution and master of consecration
You have to factor in that the scholar runes add power while the boon duration runes add healing power as well.
Would those damage numbers be higher or lower? I’m not sure.
If you make one trait stronger, you have to weaken others or you wreck PvP balance. It’s not as easy as HEY GUYS GUARDIANS SUDDENLY GET A HUGE DAMAGE BOOST.
Well, considering how far down the tree (25 points) power of the virtuous is, and then considering the placement of other + damage % traits are, it is difficult to stack them effectively. Also taking into consideration that the virtues trait line does not inherently increase damage by itself (arguably, longer might and fury is more damage).
So the idea in increasing damage down various trees is not to make them “all” accessible, but to create build diversity, upon which you can still be effective in combat (dps is everything?) but have some flavor (I focus on boons/support?).
So the question is, do we sacrifice enough to warrant higher damage return out of power of virtuous and other such build diversity traits?
I just went 25 down virtues, I have 45 points left. I can now either maximize power, precision, OR crit damage….but not all three or even two, because of how our trait lines are split up.
I think we do sacrifice a lot of damage, but I’m sure the numbers can be adjusted to make power of the virtuous promote more build diversity without making it overpowered and break balance in pvp and pve.
Not saying you can’t disagree, or maybe I am wrong and this would be game breaking, but less screaming and more thinking/talking Guanglai.
Thats exactly what I was trying to explain. If you go for virtues you lose too much damage so its not worth to try another build . Zeal trait line has useless traits so you have Valor or Radiance to get more damage.
ANET sucks. Condition meta will be more op now
3% per boon isn’t OP cause you can’t sustain all the boons for a long time. Its 25 points in a totally support line.
Three is a bit much, if you have all boons up which a guard can easily do that is an extra 27% damage. I do agree that 1% is low. I would be happy with 2%.
Thats true. Maybe 2% would be more balanced.
elementalists’ bountiful power (25 points in water magic) does the exact same thing. It used to be 2% damage boost from boons but apparently that was too powerful in pvp so they nerfed it to be the same as power of the virtuous.
I feel like anet want the trait in this state, logical or not.
They should put all at 20 points and equal to 2% damage boost then.
Hello guys, I want to show my suggestion about the Power of the Virtuous trait, actually it gives 1% extra damage for each boon you have and you need 25 points in Virtues to get it. If you get 25 points in virtues you will lose stats from another trait line that you could get like Zeal ( power ) , Radiance ( precision ) , Valor ( critical dmg ) and thats not good for a damage build. I believe that this trait should be like warrior’s trait: Destruction of the Empowered ( 3% more dmg each boon on your target ) but instead of each boon on your target , each boon on you. So it would be 3% extra damage for each boon you have. Post your opinion about ! Thank you.
Worst: Ruins
Best: Halloween
After the update the match up got bugged. Great job anet
Why ? I am in the sever that is winning the current match up.
Which tells me little, is it hard to say what server it is… or would that possibly undermine your point by elucidating that either you’re fibbing or are on JQ who is currently stealing candy from small children?
Who knows ! Doesnt really matter, the fact is that having or not the buff doesnt make any difference in zerg fights. Numbers still more important.
I’m in the winner server.
The what? Do I assume you’re just trolling at this point?
Why ? I am in the server that is winning the current match up.
The buff isn’t a must. You can leave the ruins there and nothing is different in the wvw scenery. It is also hard to find good fights there, its easier to find in supply camps/sentries. lol
I’m not sure what T1 you are playing on, but the buff is most certainly a must and they are most certainly populated.
I’m in the winner server.
Ruins are fail, leagues will be as well. Leave your comment if you agree/disagree !
Depends. What’s YOUR definition of Fail?

Ruins aren’t awesome. Not in T1. This concept of PPT is too old, I see many guilds that wants to improve their skill but it is hard with this current meta.
Ruins are plenty awesome in T1, i find good fights there every night as a roamer. PPT works fine, the issue is server balance and rewards. And it is hard to improve with the current meta? Try to fight instead of running away.
I would love to fight against NOPE. I’ve never seen you before !

RUINS ! /moreSPVPinwvwvw
It is easy to say that ruins will be fail since we know that low number servers wont have a chance to get rewards/fight against a T1 server. Ruins are fail actually as well. Anyways, I believe that rewards aren’t the problem.
I find less people in the ruins than I ever found in camps/sentries while roaming.
I thought it was just with me.
The orb buff doesnt really matter, the zerg number still better than more stats or skill ( hard to find ) .

Its funny to see that the wvw problem is too simple and they dont fix it.

Hey all!
We wanted to ‘spoiler’ a couple of patch notes early, so here they are:Glacial Heart: This trait now delivers an area strike on the target it activates on, damaging and chilling up to 5 enemies in a 180 radius.
Transfusion: This trait now scales with healing power at a 20% rate, where it didn’t previously scale.
Unsteady Ground: This skill no longer damages or cripples enemies. It will now prevent foes from crossing the area, knocking them back a short distance. Lasts for 3 seconds.
Roy and I are scheduled to stream on October 11th where we’ll go over a few more features and adjustments that you’ll see on the mid-october update. Be sure to tune in and check it out!
Glacial Heart needs a decent ICD. 10 seconds would make it a good option since hammer is slow and you would catch the enemy easier.
doubt number 1: Purging Flames: How many allies it affects ?
doubt number 2: Purging Flames: If I’m inside two consecration’s areas I will receive 2x -condition duration or just one ?
Let’s invade heart of the mists and make gvg 10vs10 !
You can’t know if your enemy is using the low trinket or the high ascended one.
Keeping random piece of lower level armor and you lose your rune as well. Remove a weapon and you lose your weapon attack. Trinkets? How would we know that you are not using the level 80 exotic ? Foods can’t balance what the orbs can reach. There is no way, anet will ruin the gvg scene with this buff.
It is fun how Anet makes the things. We’re most of WVW community and they still thinking that the best option is bring back buffs, foods, pve events , dyes. Go to hell, we just want gvg. Make a gvg map and we wont complain anymore!
Anxious for the next gvg showdown , Scnd vs VotF ! Ogre, if possible try to include builds/specs as advices for the Beginners GvG Guide
GD vs Scnd ? It would be crazy ! Anxious for the battle.
Ogro and Filipe should make a guardian guide, it would be great. Actually, most of guardians in NA still playing with healing power, rofl.
Sorry dude, but they don’t care with wvw. No bug fixes, no orb back, no support.
I don’t think this would be a good idea … .
If you would change races, the whole personal story should change too.
A sylvari has a different story then a charr, if you changed your race the story would be a huge mess i guess.The personal story is your “unique” story of you character, i don’t think they can just change that if you change races.
If you want to change your race instead of has a story you do. If you don’t want to you don’t do. It’s simple
Hello guys, I was discussing this topic with my guildies and other friends and everyone liked. A new item in the gem store that let you change your race , what do you think ?
Did you spend any RL money on gems? That is the criteria for the free mini’s
oooh, sorry. A stupid man told me that I should receive because I bought gems with gold.
Hello, I bought my game on January and didn’t get the dragon bash mini pack in my email. Someone with the same problem ?
Hello, as a player hardcore of WvW and SOR member I’m here to show some opinions , today is sunday and the matchup is finished. We’re winning by far and there are no big fights to do , literally ARENANET never cares about wvw but this time I was forced to play other thing like PvE that I hate. All what we got is that DevonCarner want to improve the wvw, but when it will happen ? The orb was kicked from the WVW and we didn’t get anything back , the skill lag is terrible and now , the matchups are hideous.
Just to refresh your mind : http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA
For now, lets put some arrow carts in the base of the enemy and wait the glory . Skill play is no longer good as some superior ac’s.
Edit: you don’t want to put GVG ? http://gw2gvg.com/upcoming.php We’re making our haha

It’s already incredibly strong in PvE, with the potential for massive uptime on every boon except stability. Not so much in sPvP with the changes there, but there you go.
As it stands, sharing the boons with 5 allies would just be broken, and would make it a required skill on every Guardian’s bar. It’s already a skill you have to think long and hard about discarding…
Swiftness and one stack of might are hideous. Why not sharing the boons ? We are supposed to be the boon guy and support the theam.
That would make it so hilariously overpowered it’s not even funny.
Why ? Actually there are alot of ways to break boons:
Remove
Convert in conditions
Steal
Do more damage if the enemy have.
I think it would be a good idea in PvP and WvW. And not OP in pve.
Do you really think that save yourselves is useful now guys ? As ArenaNet made alot of things to break boons I think they should make a improve in this skill. My suggestion is to share the boons with 5 allies, what do you think ?
Hello guys. I don’t know if someone give this suggestion yet but it will be really good if we can change the race. The item should be with gems , what do you think about ?
Think: you are in the zergs killing everyone and trying to survive while listening to the commanders at teamspeack , it is completely crazy try to get the badges. Please , badges should go straight to your inventory!
Lies. This skill has saved my skin so many times when s*** hits the fan it’s not even funny.
They already buffed it so you are no longer rooted for the duration. It gives you 3 seconds complete invulnerability plus renews your Virtues, all on a relatively short cooldown of 90 seconds, one of the shorter Elites in the game.
What more do you want?
This is a suggestion, don’t feel hurt.
Hello guys, I was thinking in something to improve our Elite Skill Renewed Focus because it is not too good in PvE in my opinion. My suggestion is make it remove all conditions and give all the boons to five allies , something like Save Yourselves. What do you think about ? Crazy ? OP ?
Please see my results. Too lag here ):

Hello everyone. I am not here to discuss that Warriors is the worst class in WVW cause it is a fact, my question is: what warrior’s are supposed to do in wvw ? We doesn’t have the best damage, best CC or best survival. What we have is mobility so warrior’s are supposed to run at wvw ?
boon duration is not worth for banner build. I have regeneration full time.
