New Grandmaster traits - Discussion

So guys, what do you think about the changes?

I, for PvP, feel that damage builds will get more survival (necro and thief most of them with the healing on condi/crit respectively), making bunkers less viable since you don't have such a big damage output. (unless the damage heals got an internal cd)

I don't understand much of this Raven, could you tell me exactly how to bank my trait points to give my necro better survivability please .

I'm only a poor blonde, I need help   

Go full condition build, grab the condi's heal one and the one where deadshroud regens or takes conditions from teammates (depending on if you want to survive or you want your teammates to survive). Boom, there you go.

Now go fight a homepoint bunker --> no damage, only high toughness, condi cleanse and healing power.

Necro--> heals for 100 hp every sec (or more) and does high damage.

same goes for thiefs with heal on crit;

I've got full condi, but gone vit instead of tough, will look at changing that. Thanks for the info Raven

It's only after 15th of april though

Seems guardian is finnaly getting Condi build :3
Not so much spam as on necro but still "strongest burn in game"... and also Retaliation from condi power muehehehe will be nice, alreay saw some builds with some 1k burns and 800 retaliation dmg on theorycraftings

Vitality trait on guard iskind of good, but still its only 3k and its in Honor trat line (my current build dont go deep into Honor D: )
Overall i like the changes, looking forward for new meta builds xD

Yeah, I wanna take 3 GM traits from ranger, but I can only take 2 :'( I want higher level cap!!!

Kas, is that condi/reta-build combinable with a bunker build you think?

Combinable you mean if the build is condi and bunker build at same time?
Or good in pairs with bunkers.

Anyway its just theory crafting have to w8 until patch come out to try it in actual combat

True, and to see the real numbers too...

Take ranger for example, BM GM trait: pet's f2 aoe heal on activation
Does this come with an internal timer or not? Because if not, pet choice will be really important. Everybody will be running birds again and possibly zerker/bunker builds --> birds got high damage still even after nerf!

Do we have an ele in guild? I'm kind of interested in ele atm. Want to see the opinion of some1 experinced with them( not only pvp player but also in pve/wvw)

Can't think of anybody right now.

Well , I do have a lvl 80 ele as one of mu chars. Mostly went glass canon with it so how usefull I can be remains to be seem.

Try to contact Katran (Paracelso) on fb, he has a ele i thought, or try Solo, he got a ele as well.
