I saw alot of the hybrid burn medi builds using carrion for pvp. I tried it but it is kinda squishy. Would rabid or dire stats work?

Also I had a hard time deciding between flame legion runes, balthazar and traveller, any views?

in pvp or you go carrion or cele as you dont have dire states in pvp and rabid puts you in 10k hp so conditions will eat you alive much faster

if you play medzerk with 14.5k hp and 2.4k armor you should be ok with carrion 17.5k hp and 2.4k armor

on wvw dire is good and 1v1 you can do nicely but in group play if they got good cleanse class you wont be noticed

pvp runes – i like flame with power and dmg modifier

There are no Dire stats in pvp, when it comes hybrid you have; Carrion and Rabid. Also Rampager, Settler, and Cele if you want to count those.

Rabid is bad since it doesn’t have any vit, and these builds really don’t go into Honor, so you’ll have a small hp pool.

Rampager is underwhelming , you’re just better of going zerker ammy.

Settler, you can make healing burn build, but again it’s not that great.

Cele just doesn’t really work that well with Guard.

So pretty much Carrion is your best bet. Gives you vit, power, and condi. All the things you need.

You need power for the build to work. A pure condition build is not viable on a guardian.
