Dantheman.3589 Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 Constantly pumps out boons and healing instantly and is busted when u put 5 allies into the equation
GuriGashi.5617 Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 What shout can give 45 boons? Also what in the world are you talking about? Who plays Shout Core Guardian? If anything they play meditations - this has to be a troll post

If anything they play meditations - this has to be a troll post“Save your self” traited can give 45 boons granted 4 other allies are also close. There’s ppl not even trying on core support guard in plat3-legend on Eu, many top teir mat teams are trying to find a comp for it and I’ve seen some annoying ones at that. You could try to run a mediation variant if you want, not sure what the point would be though as that’s more for personal sustain imo.

Crozame.4098 Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 People start to use this, its not that popular yet, but I think I will be soon. And yes, given that only a few players have used this build before, the balance team might not checked it before.

People spreading mis-information, either maliciously or because they're not smart enough to sense-check, and other people just accepting it.
Zephoid.4263 Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 Are there really people saying guard shouts are OP? One of the least useful sets of skills in this game. My god we have fallen low.

Yes it’s actually very good in 2s and even better in 5s- I even did an at with 3 necros + 1 holo and everyone was basically immortal

It be interesting to test in addition to soldier runes effects
Dantheman.3589 Posted December 24, 2020 Author Posted December 24, 2020 Note- I tested the healing applied from empower. It seems it not only heals only per pulse but for each stack of might that’s x12 x80 healing per person x5 which is almost 5k healing in addition to the very high healing. This is absolutely insane personal sustain being put ontop of high team sustain and constant boon application

This is absolutely insane personal sustain being put ontop of high team sustain and constant boon application Raw healing is never as potent sustain as actual defence mechanics like block/evade/invuln. 5k healing sounds impressive, but 1 hit from any DPS class will completely negate it. In the time a staff-guardian stands still to channel that 5k heal (which, remember, assumes all 4 team-mates are in close proximity, which is not likely in PvP, and 2nd reminder has a 2.5s cast time), any competent opponent will do twice that much in damage. It's why Ventari or Druid aren't good supports, because raw healing really isn't everything.

With PoV+Soldiers, a shout will convert 1 condi to boon, and cleanse but not convert a 2nd condi.Cleansing 2 condis on a 30s utility is not mind-blowing sustain. Shake It Off already removes 4 as baseline.

I don’t think I claimed ever that it puts 2 condis to boons it’s 1 cleared and 1 converted. Also 1 condition converted is much stronger than 1 cleared and it brings this to all shouts as well as 1 cleared as well as much superior boons so I don’t see the problem

I already know for a fact in ranked its counterable- heck I’ve farmed them with sword/d thief, but say a double power rev + s/d thief could probably be ezily beaten by a real meta comp. if it wasn’t for that fact I don’t anyone would run support at all but ofc they still doEdit: also it’s 5k healing on top of 5k more and some really strong block prot and even healing on dodge roll which u claim is all important- so it brings it all

Downstate.4697 Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 Personally id drop altruistic healing for monks focus. Then id drop soldier for monk runes.http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PWwAYl7lZw8YhsM2IeMTWrdA-z5AXC+OA
