Alrighty, so I am currently using something pretty much like this

I like my shouts and boon duration, however I also like a bit of damage and such, just wondering what you guys think of this.

What type of gameplay are you focussing on?
Btw: if you have the gold, you could push your boon duration up by another 15% with 2x Rune of the Traveler.

I don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, but the build looks decent for the most part. I’m guessing this is more for WvW then PvE. Also if this is WvW is this more roaming/solo or Zerg?

If you’re going for more dps, then 0/0/10/30/30 builds are somewhat difficult because these trees aren’t really dps oriented for the most part. I would at least drop the knight chest and legging for zerker, and then a cav or zerker back piece instead of soldier.

Also I’d drop Unscathed Contender, that trait is very iffy and gimmicky in WvW/PvP. It works fine in PvE, but when you are going against competent players you’re not going to have Aegis up a lot unless you’re using scepter. Even then it’s difficult to keep it up.

Bad idea.

The extra boon duration from virtue line doesn’t warrant the loss of Altruistic healing. Since you have shout based traits I will assume you aren’t going for Meditation build.

Not having AH cuts your survivability to half.

Not to mention your crit damage % is cut down as well due to the lack of points in valor.

There’s really only 2 builds variants that are non-gimmp for guardians currently.

Build around meditations or altruistic healing.
