ArenaNet Staff Rubi Bayer.8493 Posted November 17, 2023 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted November 17, 2023 It’s the guardian’s turn to step into the limelight, wielding not one, but two pistols as their new weapons to combat the growing threat of the hostile Kryptis. 13 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eekasqueak.7850 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 That symbol shot looked really cool, glad to see guard getting a ranged condi weapon. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stx.4857 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I’ve always been a huge fan of pistols in this game, maybe I’ll have to reroll guardian since these already look better than thief or engi pistols… 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acyk.9671 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Wish we could see a bit more, looks promising though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daevhalla.7823 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Insane condition application. I assume the mark will work with the unload skill on the off-hand pistol (probably skill 4) in which case the burn will be deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Combining Hall of Justice and Symbol of Ignition allows you to apply a plethora of damaging conditions to your enemy in a short period of time!" From what I can see, inside the symbol you can apply 2 stacks of burning, some bleed and cripple for every shot you make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daevhalla.7823 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) As far as I can see: AA - applies bleeding, piercing up to 5 targets Skill 2 - ? Skill 3 - Symbol of Ignition, pulses dmg, shots fired through the mark apply burning, also foes that you strike within the mark get burning. Skill 4 - Hail of Justice, piercing up to 5 targets, volley of shots, cripple and bleed Skill 5 - possible channel with big dmg and what looks like more burning application Edit: Made a small correction for skill 3 Edited November 17, 2023 by Daevhalla.7823 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eekasqueak.7850 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I'm wondering what that charged shot does, I guess just applies a bunch of burning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadkizzle.2157 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 The symbol just sounds like no more than a Fire Combo field doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah it'll still be a light field like all other symbols, but with the addition that if an enemy gets hit in either melee or a projectile adds burning to the damaging pulses. That's my read on the wording of it at least. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the swords will be DPS condi weapons with Torment. Try to give Scourge and Harbinger better melee options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is if you lay down a Consecration fire field then fire through it you'll be adding burning stacks to your attacks just as the symbol is seeming to work. The difference is that the symbol also does a tiny amount of damage on its own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
