Guild Wars 2

Hey guys
As a Thief Main I’ve been solo roaming in wvw quite a bit lately on my guard and I used two builds

• a Berserker Meditation Build
• and a Sinister Version

I am currently trying out how the Meditation heal is, as in theory it’s Healing Per Second is way higher than Shelter, also offering higher Fury and higher Retaliation uptime while being a bit better against condi builds as well (Smite’s Boon on 24s CD instead of 30s)

While I found the Sinister Build to be quite unique and it’s damage output to be really high, in fights against profession with a lot of condi removes it’s damage lacked quite a bit.
Also, I found the Berserker Build to have better Condi Remove (due to Absolute Resolution), slightly better Mobility (Speed Runes instead of Balthazar) and better Burst… if the enemy would’ve cleansed the Burns quickly, that is.

Which one of these two Builds would you reccomend more?
I do have quite some experience of playing PvP, and while I learned to miss shelter when a zerg decides to go hunting I think some WvW Guards could lend me a hand when it comes to Build viability/counterability by other WvW Meta Builds.

Check out “Got Boons” on youtube. He is my go to source for all things WvW guard roam builds and advice. Dude is a savage. I would link but on my phone atm, and it’s a pain to do so.
