Guild Wars 2

so after playing bit with the perma burning guard you can see its bit solo build which do good dmg over time
so i want to find a build which the dmg is still from burning and give something back to the group (for wvw)

The build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNApdSlsApZo97wVIEENxARZdAsAtJ2rwLUDX9AA-TFyCABVcIAA4EAcy+DvoPwH1fm4JAkoSwsU+FAABgZOzZOzZOzSBAx0I-w

the idea behind the build:
1. burning duration 100%
2. shout to support your group when pushing
3. block to proc burning
4. aoe conditions removal
5. retaliation creator

dmg calculator (full stacks):
burning dmg – 870 dps
retaliation dmg 345 dps (wvw and pvp)
bleeding from swapping – 450 dps

how to utilize it in big group fight:
1. as your armor and hp is high you can jump inside the enemy line and use
shield of wrath and protector strike
these two skills will give you 5 seconds block which proc burning on each enemy who stuck you and got blocked
2. use symbol – first symbol of faith and with hammer blast it to create retaliation for 3 seconds or use shout if needed
3. dodge out while using shelter

this easy rotation will yield massive aoe dmg almost 1700 dps for 3 seconds which is 5100 on everyone around you who hits you and stand near you (my best hit was 9 enemies between 3k-5k dmg)
massive massive aoe!

after that you can bash with your hammer to create symbol which proc burning (240r) and blast it to create retaliation , use cc with ring etc…
use shout for more retaliation uptime etc…

tome of wrath
1. spam 1 which is amazing skill which burn every one in radius of 240 for 4 seconds 4k dmg and from 1200 safe range.

what do you ppl say. can it work?

How well would you think the perma burn build does in solo roam?.. also will a meditation variant work?

my other perma burning build with meditation work nicely roaming
1v1 very well
pu mesmer just die from burning and lacking in conditions cleanse . if they attack you need just to block to do dmg. in one case i just run to my group from south to the north camp and mesmer was on my six and got himself killed just by me using blocking (he was so angry and didnt know how i did it)
some other smart pu mesmer time their mantra and stealth so the fight can go for ever
thief – same case if you block their burst you can burn them for 8-10 seconds to force them to go stealth. some can burst me if i get caught by surprise but than they died after 2 seconds later
warrior so far easy kill
guardian boring fight but cant kill you either
necro is easy if you time right your cleanse (i put video in the forum of spvp match which my health didnt go down against condi necro). but if they play smart they can be hard
engi can be hard with lots of cc and conditions

1v2 is bit harder but much easier against melee class as your blocks take them down faster
1v3 hard for me so far. i can take 1 but the other 2 will res and i cannot sustain the fight

You consider 3 Balthazar with 3 Flame Legion?

I was running a 6/6/2 but went with fiery wrath, zealous blade, and amplified wrath and scepter/focus/GS. My issue or test was based on what I had and that was a previous condition build using Carrion mixed with Balthazar/flame legion runes.

Doesn’t work too well with such low armor value that Carrion offers in WvW so I wouldn’t recommend it. I didn’t try to mix in anything with Rabid at the time and I’m only playing in regards to WvW small havoc teams of solo/duo or triplets flipping towers and camps.

after testing it a bit more shouts support your group but you have to be near your group so they can support you as you dont have much self heal versus meditation which are self heals

messiah.1908:

…

I’m not sure if you didn’t test that build or if you did something wrong in the build editor, anyway you burning duration is +45% and not +100%, that is a huge difference I would say (I then realized that you have used food, but that’s not still 100%)

… Please NOTICE that RADIANT FIRE and SIGIL OF SMOLDERING are bugged. *
In particular radiant fire does *nothing to burning duration, while there is a workaround for the sigil of smoldering.
Please, go in the BUG section, and reply to my posts about this bugs, so they fix us.

With – 40% burning duration all burning build are half (or more) as effective as they could be, because all the times that you burn your opponent for 1s it should have become 2s (thanks to burning duration), BUT because of these bugs it doesn’t and your burn condition ticks only once, doing HALF the damage it should have.

Untill they fix these, I won’t play any condition guardian, since burning is the only condition we have and we are losing .

i got it after i tested it and thanks
my actual duration is 85% 40% from food and 45% from rune which is fine.
but still 85% is not 100%
