What is the absolute best bunker class/build in this current meta of (competitive) PvP right now? I don’t have any interest in playing a condi or boon class/build. I just want to sit on/harass/decap any node I want. If not “a bunker” in specific, what do you think is the BEST build for 1v2s or 1v3s for the longest time? I just want something that will survive the most (once perfected of course) out of all the players. There is nothing more frustrating than a target who won’t go down! Someone please help me find something like this. I don’t care what class, I just wanna bunk <3
Will pay 2 gold for any in-depth response, just message me ingame.

Being a great bunker also takes a lot of great timing of skills, withholding cooldowns as long as possible so you do not waste them, excellent DODGE timing, too.
It’s not a “stand there and laugh” spec if you are up against people who know how to play OK.
The Alien (condi necro),That Wreckin Crew (Mesmer)
Silentshoes (Thief), Wind of the Woods (condi ranger)
The best support bunker is guard. If you just want the bunker that will last the longest, go warrior. Also engie is very viable, but it’s a bit more tricky to play.
I should probably clarify this a bit. When it just comes down to surviving and holding a point. Warrior will last longer then a Guard. However the reason why teams op for Guard is the amount of support they bring. Warrior hardly brings any utilities beside the ability to survive.
Guardian (mace+shield) or Warrior (banner/shouts).
Ahahaha. No. Guardian is vastly superior in every respect. Warrior doesn’t have shouts and banner but only one of them.
Banner: decent regen but extremely easy to burst down
Shouts: tad better burstheal but low health and weak against conditions + you take shouts which are utterly useless in tpvp so you basically sacrifice your entire utility bar for some ~3k heals.
Your burst skills will be useless in groupfights for both variants as you will want to use mace/shield and sword/warhorn (traited) to deal with the obscene amount of conditions being thrown in your general direction. Spoiler: you will still die.
Seeing as you will take soldiers amulett and sword is a conditions weapon and mace is purely control (single target so don’t even consider tanking more than one person) you will deal literally zero damage to some builds. By that i mean you will never kill them. Ever. It’s just a matter of how quickly they can wear you down so 1v1 is almost always a loss unless you play against someone very bad in which case you might be able to outheal his damage.
If you want to bunker, take sc/f st guardian and tank 2+ people mid while supporting your group. Unless you play on an extremely low MMR don’t consider warrior as bunker.
I played some myself in the 1-150 range of the leaderboards while being matched regularly against top 50 players and you will die, simple as that.
Id say there are 3 mainaspects of a bunker: survivability, support and cc.
Depending on what you prefer most and whether you want to focus on teamfights or holding sidepoints alone each of the three is more or less useful.
For survivability guardian or engi are probably the best, guardian especially in teamfights because of ah. For support guardian then war then engi, for control engi then war or guardian with hammer/sc+sh (less survivability then compared to staff/m+f with ah).
Generally id take guardian for teamfights and engi for sidepoints i guess.
Feel free to correct me.
