Several months ago some guilds scorned any eles who ran full cele in wvw, calling them water bots. That isn’t a problem, since this build is all support on the move. On top of the fair sustainability that you can offer your comrades with the ludicrous amount of auras(especially magnetic aura with this specific trait set up), when you do actually need to reset, you can stay on the move thanks to the new warhorn 5 ability in water.

So long as your frontline keeps straight, you don’t have to worry too much about accidentally misplacing a water field, or waiting for the exact moment to drop a healing rain.

With the increased damage reduction with protection(it does not even need to be your own applied protection, but you do have a pretty good amount of it with this build) you are actually just about as tanky as the frontline is.

Its biggest drawbacks are probably that its not top notch at clearing your own condies like old meta builds are, unless you overload water(guards do the main frontline cleansing anyway). The overloads themselves take 5 seconds to charge after attuning to that specific element, which is your primary stun breaker, and can be interrupted easily without a guard supplying stab (warriors all ready deal with having only a small source of their own stab), and if you want to deal any real damage, you pretty much have to be in fire or be overloading an element.

You haven;t got enough armor to survive in the current meta. If the meta changes back to more of a melee range meta tempest may be used but I would think you would need armor with more toughness and healing power on it.
