Another weird build that somehow works lol.
I tried it lately and that seems to work decently well in sPVP at least with a decent teamp since it is a support build.
This build has 6 source of aegis, the theme being that when you block you give aegis to allies within 360 radius with communal defenses (valor trait XIII), popping an aegis you applied (on you or your ally) wil heal you back for 700 each and damage ennemies.
The build also has many AOE blinds and weakness for additional damage reduction.
Blind also give 3 stack of vulnerability.
I even did the math …
Aegis : 1 every 8.3sec
Blind : 1 every 7.1sec
It’s pretty fun build
Shield of the Avenger can be switched out for Stand your Ground if preferred.
Looks like an interesting build and glad you’re having fun with it. unfortunately you wont be able to make it anymore once the core changes come down the line.

that specific build no.
However the idea behind that build could still be done, possibly even better since stats wont be tied to trait lines.
Surprised no one has said anything, but I really like the sound of this!
Definitely gonna give this one a try specially as it means playing something other than medi guard or shout for that matter.
What’s even cooler is that come Heart of Thorns, a DH can do an aegis build as well using the Fragment of Faith trap and other traits.
Either way, nice job Revan and looking forward to give this one a try and get some practice with it!
Thanks and enjoy!
The build lacks a bit of power and might but you can still deal decent dmg with greatsword burst and sword auto attack, but you get much more team support than shouts imo, especially if you can time your aegis/blind properly to counter big damage and also you can get double aegis for your team, for instance if you use Retreat! and the aegis applied to your allies pops before yours, they’ll get another aegis once yours pop because of the GM trait, important to keep in mind in order to maximize the effectiveness.
Blocking with shelter also triggers aoe aegis btw
I heard with HoT all spirit weapons traits will get fused into 1 (duration and cd reduction) and maybe rework the AI, which would make the shield more viable, right now it’s on a too long cooldown…

Yup it’s pretty cool if your team notice you share aegis.
Which change are you referring to?

He is referring to the change to traits that is coming up.
You will be maxed at going into 3 trait lines.
You will however get a full 3 lines worth of traits & many of the traits that have to do with certain effects to abilities have been merged.
Your build will be more or less achievable by going zeal, honor, valor then grabbing a shout build.
(Shouts will be even better since tome of wrath is becoming a quickness/might shout & all shout traits are being merged allowing you to grab other traits)

Oh I see that’s going to reduce the build possibilities so much unfortunately.
Well tbh shattered aegis and inspired virtue could be dropped for something better anyway.
Something like this would allow to share virtue of resolve, heal with dodge, heal with mace, heal with weapon swap: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNApdRlsApUo1BxRI8DNBARZVAg9KMD3w1VQHUnA-TJxHAB1+EACe/BAOFAKVGAA
Is it correct that traits wont be linked to stats anymore?
