[raid/fractal guardian tank question]

In gw2 we dont rly have real tank mechanic. If there is one, it can be taken by anybody due to you only need to moove the boss, and for that you only need a toughness infusion (or 1151tg if u have a slb in ur group). Tank is usually taken by druid/rene. The only encounter in the game where you actually need a "real tank" is SH. In better groups its taken by druid/condi Chronos with some toughness, in worse groups you can take double healbrand as tanks, (we also do that, its totally fine).Qadim2 also hits hard, and if you dont have enough dps druid cant take it without the risk of dieing. Most groups needs there a second healer anyway, so alacheal can do this job. Q2 is the only encounter where minstrel chrono is semi viable due to the 10 man quickness, and chaneling block, but you will see minstrel chrono in trashpug way too often.Im gonna guess you are a newbie in raids. So for you, yes, you can easily "tank" everything with hfb, even without toughness (but make sure you have higher than everybody else in the group).But if you like that tanky playstyle with a lot of toughness/healing/vit wvw is the place for you. HFB is very good here.

[LI, and LD are useless]

Back then the weekly cap was 3 for 6 months, then 6, then 9, and so on, so its way more than 170. Soon, im gonna hit the 2k cap in my mat storage for li, and i dont want to destroy them, thats why i would like to convert them into something useful. Even if i could exchange a stack to 10MC, or clover, laurel would be good, or at least better than nothing.

[LI, and LD are useless]

After you make your 3 set of raid lege armor, which only cost 750LI, and the trinket which is 150LD, these currencies are totally useless.I am raiding since w1 release, i had a 1 year break, and still, i have 3,5k LI/LD, and only 900 used in craft.It would be soo good, if we could excahnge them into gold 1:1, or 1:0.50, or MCs/clovers, just something.Would it really ruin the game's economy? Even if you could only buy acc bound stuff like clovers? I dont think that many player running around with 3-4k useless LI/LDMaybe the raiding would feel more rewarding, because now... you get ~100 gold from it, and nothing else. Because lets be honest, after a few thousands of hours, the ascended drops worth less than a random 14 copper trash item, especially if they are not from raid, because then, you cant get anything by salvaging them.The only thing that keeps me in the game is the weekly raid clear, and if that cannot do it anymore, idk...Am i the only one who thinks that, you should be able to use your LI/LD after you crafted the armor sets, and the triket?
