Ok, so I was playing around and trying to come up with a bunker/support build.
After a little messing around, I came up with this:

Basically I run around, blocking the kitten out of everything, throwing aegis around like it’s candy (which also heals and does damage when removed) and basically remaining untouchable.
Play about 5 rounds of unranked with it, and found it to be pretty kitten good. was able to successfully defend 3 v 1 for quite some time, 2 v 1 for even longer, and 1 v 1 near indefinite However, its lacking a bit of condi cleanse.

Anyone got any ideas to perhaps tweak it a bit so it still retains its legendary god mode bunker status, and gives a bit more condi cleanse?

Love to hear what you think!

Your right…I was trying to remember the sigils I used. I changed to sigil of generosity instead, which I think I am using, but can’t exactly remember ATM.

for my exp that build would not last much.

That passive healing each 8-10sec interval looks good on paper, but RF is better and if traited also heals, another thing is if aint doing damage GTFO :P, defense easilly gets shatered by offense.

1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.

Like I said, the 5 matches I played last night I was largely untouchable. Held off 2 v 1 long enough to go through 3 sets of shout cooldowns. The only times I was overwhelmed fairly quickly was 3 v 1. Which no one is going to last long through anyway. During several matches the attackers ended up giving up, because it was taking so long. But as I said, the lack of cleanses do catch up in long sustained fights.

Yeah it doesn’t do much damage, but if you can stay on point you can prevent decap for quite a long time, and draw enemies off other points for rest of team to decap.

I do understand, i was not thinking as a guard, being dropping that class when i can do better job with others, since i have no problem making bunker run away or force them to die asap on point, reason u should take medi+shouts both traited, instead of signets, i would advice focus, but that is optional since many players dont know how to counter it and tend to kite/run (it is + 3 or 4 blocks to had to that build).

Somethign arround this, more block and condi cleanse

The other variant would be use save yourselves to remove alot of condis from team , and then convert them to boons with contemplation of purity.

maybe it is a bug XD hope for fix.

Interesting. But purity of voice and soldier rune 6 does the same thing. Do they stack, in that shouts now remove/convert 2 conditions instead of 1? At least with monk runes I can increase the uptime of boons. But if I were to rake virtues over zeal I lose Shattered Aegis, as well as the increased damage to GS and and symbols.

Also the contemplation of purity would be a better alternative to the signet for condi cleanse. Also, I might take Absolute Resolution over Supreme Justice in the virtue line.

But I do like the alternative you’ve propose. I’ll check it out and let you know.
