spayced.2016 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Hesitating to buy the expansion...I'm a little sour on the previous expansion where the elite specs were basically superior to all others and_ not _taking them was akin to gimping your character.Is it still like that?Could one swing a wide variety of builds now? Or is it basically the newest ones all vying for superiority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight In Shining Armor.17 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Personally I'm finding Firebrand is better for PVE than regular guardian. Where Dragonhunter I only use in PVP, Firebrand I was able to switch to easily. You don't have to use the new weapon to gain access to the new skills. The virtues are almost identical, only instead of giving a one time boon to other players nearby you are given pips to use on other players up to 8 times.Choosing traits that grant quickness on stability and aegis goes well with vanilla guardian utility skills. I now run Firebrand in PVE always and would not go back to regular Guardian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckle Joe.7408 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 strictly pve:weaver - better than tempest against big targets, if the ferocity/% damage modifiers get nerfed... we'll seedeadeye - needs more testing, but seems daredevil's better (staff/bound/fist flurry its just too good)mirage - no way it replaces chronomancer for raidsscourge - seems better than condi reaperspellbreaker - meh, stick to condi/phalanx berserker... unless upcoming raids require massive boon hatesoulbeast - seems on par/slightly better than condi druid... your party loses grace of the land tho.firebrand - right now, MASSIVELY better than dragonhunter in the DPS department, WILL be nerfed. Zero support if you go dps.renegade - slightly better condi damage and that's itholosmith - needs more testing, power build seems alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
