Guild Wars 2

I think it’s totally fine if you love the change but my point would be that it didn’t look like that when a lot of people started to put huge amounts of time & gold into it.

Just think of those who thought they were getting X & relatively close to the end were given Y, what if Eternity got patched & it’s now green?

The NPC inside fractals is wearing it or you can view it in the wardrobe

Could it be explained the reasoning behind changing the skin to the legendary fractal back piece?

Regardless of my or your opinion of the purple glow added it is a change to what was advertised from the start.

I & others have worked on the item since the release of Heart of Thorns, spending lots of time & gold to get to this point & now a randomly added Mesmer style purple glow has been added to it.

Whilst I’m sure Mesmers are happy about this & trying not to get to angry about this could I offer a suggestion that the glow could be dyed to restore the Guardian style blue glow… or in fact any colour.
This has been proved to be possible with glow dye on the recent Halloween costume.

Thanks for the feedback,
I feel you’re probably right about Honor but perhaps only in a raid setting otherwise it just feels like a lot of over healing.

Hello,
Looking to see if anyone else is running a similar build to the one I came up with to see if I was ether on to something or… not

I was thinking about raids & what each profession could bring to earn their spot, I figured only bringing max power based DPS wasn’t going to cut it

Inspired by seeing Mesmers with Alacrity I though ‘What can Guardians bring that no one else can?’
Even our go-to projectile blocking might not be enough, it’s not unique & it’s boss dependent

With the changes that came after Beta Weekend 3 & the buffing of our shield I figured Aegis might be the way to go, outside of randomness, it’s unique to Guardians

So here’s my build;
I left the food slots blank as there’s new Heart of Thorn foods that aren’t on the wiki yet & infusion slots are blank as I’m running Fractals a lot so they all have +7 Agony resist in them

Based around Aegis support without (hopefully) sacrificing too much damage

The idea is that this build could perform as a ‘tank’ in raids by mitigating damage through blocks but to keep the damage up for enrage timers
I tried this in beta raid (pre some of the changes that makes this better) & tanked it quite well

Zeal: 2-2-2
Damage increase & two weapons with decent symbol uptime the main difference being Shattered Aegis

Valor: 1-3-3
Aegis & blocking synergy to stack might & Communal Defenses for the Aegis support & more damage from Shattered Aegis

Dragonhunter: 1-1-1
Lots of Aegis support with double fragments of Faith, breaking Break Bars with dazing traps, condition removal & 10% damage reduction

Would welcome some feedback

p.s if you’ve not tried Hunter’s Determination you should, even if you don’t stick with it, it’s fun to have ‘when stunned, break stuns & stun your enemy’ … + aegis & stability for good measure
