Dealing with conditions in tPVP. :(
Try Pure of Voice instead of Battle Presence, and use Runes of the Soldier
I do not mean any offense, but I don’t see how your build works. Might explaining it?
Anyway, as andy said, use Pure of Voice and Runes of the Soldier, which will make your overall build synergy a lot better and help you survive against conditions a lot better. Doing so also allows you to use an extra Shout instead of Contemplation of Purity if you’d like, which frees up a trait that is currently not doing very much.

Well, the build was supposed to be helpful to teammates by providing them a passive regen (with the Battle Presence trait), buff them with shouts and remove conditions off them (Save Yourselves) and convert them into boons (Contemplation of Purity).
All while trying to keep Retaliation up as much as possible.
If it wasn’t obvious already, I’m new to guardian lol.
Quick question: In tPvP (5v5), are you often in situations where allies could benefit from all that support? I’m only asking because when I do 5v5, I’m very often on my own, defending a point.
Well I’d say so, yeah.
Usually it’s me guarding a point, and when I see attackers incoming I just yell at my team mates to come help, and I try to hold the enemies off till they arrive. When my team comes to help, that’s when they get the support I provide.
Or at least, that was the thought behind the build. :|
Doesn’t that mean that your build is running at lower effectiveness half of the time? (Because it’s a support build, and you’re only really supporting when allies are near.)
I posit you don’t actually need to dedicate so much points to support. This will give you more survivability and will increase your overall effectiveness.
30 in honor, Pure of voice along with purity and signet. You should be fine but if you’re really getting hit hard, take the runes of the soldier. That’s 8 condition removals without the use of meditations.
