ChronoPinoyX.7923 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Guardian Off-Hand Sword is a thing now "Willbenders protect the Canthan throne with unflinching loyalty. They have no time to play at war: if a threat emerges they'll strike it down before it has time to react. They take the fight to their targets, using rapid movement skills to navigate the battlefield. A Willbender's bladework is unmatched and wielding a sword in their off hand gives them extra opportunities for ruthless cuts."

draxynnic.3719 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Definitely looks like Almorra was the first taste from the look of that. The showcased skills may not be the same, but they certainly have a similar feel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Marshal.4098 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Yup. Def what I expected from Guard OH. Mobility and a duelist-style combat. I expect the virtues to be quite Flashy animations and performing actual movement skills (like almorra's moveset) instead of being just buffs. Something like an improved DH Wings of Resolve but with quicker pace and probably evades. Sword may have some type of flip over too I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrForz.1953 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) That fighting style looks unwieldy, or maybe it's because of the two paddles she carries as "swords". Edited August 12, 2021 by MrForz.1953 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkSnowman.8527 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 And here i was thinking maybe to use dual Bolt for this, but Bolts feel really thick and flat for those swift movements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahkeus.8243 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 It's like Shiro rev, but more mobility and less CC. Also seems to be capable of a burn condi spec. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestia.9128 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I'll be fine with the minor adept trait as "Reduce all outgoing healing and boon duration by 95%" if I can get even more self sustain and mobility. Sick of getting damage nerfed because of high support capabilities. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
