… I still want tengu.
Would making this be a mistake?
Over all a pretty good build idea. I went with this for a while but changed afterwards. The main problem with the build is if your have to fight ranged players. In PvE it’s not really a problem seeing as most enemies don’t move around too much. If you want to do WvW or PvP then u can be sniped pretty easily. You’re saved slightly by the torch but not much. I would suggest changing the sword to a scepter for when you have to fight ranged players. Even though the scepter doesn’t do too much damage it will save you a bit if the person your fighting isn’t that good. Guardians normally can’t do that well against ranged players so that’s why I normally have my friends or someone I meet in the game help me with that.
Mistake no. I don’t think it is optimal but it does have one HUGE thing going for it. Not many players run a similar build so enemies won’t know your timing. You will catch a lot of players off guard with a build like this. More optimal builds might tear you apart once they get used to style you are fighting though.

“Youre lips are movin and youre complaining about something thats wingeing.”
This is the variant I came up with. This is definitely not an “optimal” build.
(I don’t use ascended armor in the calculator as this is a “just for fun/screwing around” build and that’s more expensive than I’d recommend for sanity purposes, but if you can afford it go ahead)
It’s fun but once your enemies figure it out it’s easily countered. It lacks mobility and has trouble with heavy condi pressure (as most class/builds do so whatever).
Solo I might switch the tome for renewed focus and mace for scepter, but in small group (which is what I designed this build for) they are very powerful.
Hats off to all the ones who stood before me, and taught a fool to ride.
