I don’t particularly think Guardians are that out of whack, but a Ranger Shortbow build stacking 25 bleeds on a Guardian is a bad idea if they have Retaliation up.

Er, um, yeah it is. Which is kinda’ why you make sure they don’t have it up before you unload your burst rofl.

Well, =) good luck with that my main is a guardian and you can not keep retal off of me you can strip my boons over and over and over and over again i will keep retal up 24/7 very easy and the retaliation boon is an after thought in my build. I’m not even specing heavily for it. aegis removal give you 10 sec of retal base if you get 10 points in virtues you can even get 25% extra retal bur + the 10% boon in that line making that retal 13.5 sec

so that first tier 1 Wrathful Spirit trait can give you MASSIVE retal

first hit in a fight pops aegis 13.5

then i pop save your self that give me another 13.5

PLUS Save yourself give you another agies thats another 13.5

then you can pop your aegis virtue thats another 13.5

then in my build i use stand your group thats another 6.2

that can add up to 60.2 sec of retal if i wanted to pop it all at once or pop it as need to i can be immune to boon removal. to make this work you only need 10 point in honor
and take Wrathful Spirit trait.
