Guild Wars 2

Keep in mind my opinion is strictly from a pve pov. Core guardian is certainly less flashy than DH and after playing for so long a bit boring. But in no way is it not playable.

After HoT came out like most Guardian players I started playing as DH, however I don’t like bow personally. But yesterday I specced myself back to the core build (valor, honor, radiance; valkyrie armor and mixed trinkets; berserker weapons and defender runes) and guess what, i was able to solo 3 Hero Point champs. SOLO , and I am a CASUAL player, pretty far from being elite. It is not doable FOR ME to achieve this while playing DH.

Outdated? Maybe. Useless? Hell no!!

When i use Stalwart Defender trait (+180 toughness, -20% shield ability recharge rate) the stats from Retributive Armor don’t raise (should get some % ferocity but get none).

Did you guys see that new ascended trinkets give way more stats than the current ones?

For example Abaddon’s Cowl (achievement reward for Maguuma act 1) gives 133 strength, 133 precision, 77 ferocity, 77 vitality.

Any1 can confirm if it’s a mistake or intentional?
