Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been playing a burn guardian after the patch, and I have to say, I’m quite pleased with the results i’m finding.

I hope they don’t nerf before start of season.

Basically the build I used all through last season except it was Deadshot with Earth/Torment sigs. The patch destroyed that build so now we gotta use Carrion.

May not run burn DH this season though. Been having fun with my symbolic zeal burst build.

You sure that DH is better than Radiance? You’re not even using the healing trap.

Also, match stats don’t really mean much, especially total damage. You’re running an AoE heavy build after all. Not that the build is bad, burn Gurd is solid cancer.

This was talked about last season but I think a lot of players missed some convo posts and are returning to the game.

Zeal is actually better than Radiance in terms of raw burn damage output thanks to the trait Kindled Zeal. I forgot the numbers but it’s something like 12 might stacks does more burn damage than Amplified Wrath. You’ll be well over that if you take Zealous Scepter trait line.

As for DH over Zeal, the entire purpose for burn Guards taking DH is the cover condition traits: Dulled Senses and Zealot’s Aggression. A non-cleansed 5 burn stack in a period of 3 seconds makes up for any other burn stack cleansed by running core Guard. Your damage throughout a fight will increase by taking DH.

Any dps loss by not taking Zeal is instantly gained back through sustain gains by improved F2/F3 and Hunter’s Fortification (cleanse on block).

Litany of Wrath over Purification because,

• Lower CD heal
• Instant cast. With little stability in the build we can’t afford to get interrupted.
• Potentially a greater heal when applying burns in a group.

Speaking of stability or lack-there-of, OP, consider using SYG over Smite Condition. It’ll give you another stunbreaker as well as AoE Stability.

Unfortunately this build relies on the heals from Smite Condition so much that it just wouldn’t be viable if I swapped it around. I have tried to add more stability to the mix, but it seems to always be to my detriment.

And yeah, Litany of Wrath is just an amazing heal and can often times give me a form of invulnerability for its duration (25% of damage is healing, and i can stack each target to 4k ticks of burn or higher…. 1000hps per target…)
