So here’s a build I’ve been theorycrafting lately:

30 in Earth:
-Diamond Skin (Condi Immunity above 90% HP)
-Rock Solid (Stability on Earth Attunement)
-???

20 in Water:
-Soothing Mist (Gain 3 sec of regen when crit upon, 10 sec ICD)
-Cantrip Mastery (20% CDR on Cantrips)

20 in Arcane:
-Renewing Stamina (Vigor on Crit)
-Elemental Attunement (Boon on Attunement Swap)

Gear:
WvW – Soldier’s Armor and Weapons + Ascended Cleric’s Trinkets; Kralkachocolate Bar and Maintenance Oil; Traveler+Monk+Water Runes

PvP – Cleric’s Amulet + Soldier’s Jewel; Monk+Water Runes

Weapon Set:

??? (Dagger/Dagger most likely)

Utilities:

-Triple Cantrip and Ether Renewal

Just trying to see if we can’t make use of these traits ANet is giving us to play with. What do you guys think?

It would be pretty easy to maintain alot of health with this build. Won’t be killing anyone nor do you offer much utility for your allies. You lose out on an extra heal for your allies without evasive arcana. Don’t get me wrong its gonna be the new standard bunker, but it isn’t going to be fun to play imo.

I knew builds like these would start appearing sooner or later.

As for the build, maybe you’d be better off taking something other than Ether Renewal seeing as how you’ve got plenty of anti-condition in Diamond Skin. Although it does work nicely with Rock Solid…

If you can read this then it is proof that ArenaNet’s moderators just, kind and fair.

If you used the signet fighting 1v1 against a condi class the could never touch you. My guess is it would heal close to 300 per attack with that much healing power. Might be decent enough sustain against power builds too. who knows?

Funny that you should mention that. I’ve been dabbling with a Fresh Air/Signet build comperable to your suggestion for PvP the other day. I combined Geomancer’s Freedom and Rune of Melandru to combat stuns and conditions with it. So far, it’s survivability has been quite decent, and the damage isn’t half bad.
