What do you guys think about this one ?

Feel my Wrath may be swaped for Renewed focus

It has some mobility, condi cleansing, and a good damage with all that burning, condi duration, and power/ferocity. It crits fairly often, and still has some defense (maybe not enough ?)

Imo it’s not bad.. just try to let it be more hybrid, maybe swapping Zeal for Radiance (2,2,1).. I don’t like the sigils, but it’s a own preference.. I don’t like the shout so much too.. so for me a change into Purging Flame, Judge’s Intervention, Smite condition, and Renewed Focus is better.. the only “big” problem I can see is the lack of tankiness (2,6k armor 15k hp), watch out for burst build (aka mesmer) they can melt my 3,3k armor/24k health guardian in seconds..

ps: anyway a build need some test, try some duel in WvW then you will notice what is good and what is bad
pps: think on a Virtue change too (3,2,3)

That’s why I choosed this particular heal, it saves lives against burst. It’s also a reason why I would swap FmW for RF.

I know it’s not really tanky, but it deals good damages, while still supporting the group decently with condi cleansing, and heals.

What sigil would you recommend ?

Also, I know this shout could easily be replaced by “save yourselves!” because of the synergy it provides with contemplation of purity, but it is the only source of stability I saw.

Thanks for the tip about Radiance over zeal, it indeed is way better for condi damages.

Imho Shelter is not just an heal, is the whole guardian.. I mean it saved my life so many time.. best guardian skill, a truly must.

I know it’s not really tanky, but it deals good damages

And after 23 patch the best defence is a good offence.. reason why I like your build.

What sigil would you recommend ?

I love weapon swap sigil, dunno why but I love them.. for an hybrid build I’ll try the tipical doom/geomancy, it’s easy to remove 1/2 condition and with them you add fake condi to the list, in order to keep your burn up (blind, bleed, poison, burn).

but it is the only source of stability I saw.

If it’s to me I’ll choose to play this build as a roamer, and in that role I never needed stability.. I find the dodge/block/blind/breakstun enought to keep me active and alive, again just a preference.. btw you have Indomitable Courage too :P
