Guild Wars 2

Been playing a long time and thinking about getting this gear to try to in Fractals to mix up the zerk meta ive been riding. Its meant to give AoE burst and passive heals while maintaining decent damage and massive amounts of might for everyone around you. I got shield in here for the burst heal and prot uptime but tbh I think torch is better still for condi cleanse and burn uptime to help with dps. Anyways, I’d have to craft it so I’m asking opinions on it first. Im hoping to perhaps take a similar build to HoT content to help with the “Challenging content”.

Gonna run this tomorrow after work in scale 20 fractals but with zerk armor just to see how the gameplay feels. The equipment will basically just make me crit for less dmg and heal for more, build basics should run the same.

Won’t comment on the Gear choice, as I can tell that’s kinda what you are aiming for here.

As far as the build choices.

1. The bow is a wasted skill slot something useful.

2. The heal on Shield 5 is to small really help all that much, if you pop it you are going to be knocking mobs of melee range. You would be better off with torch or focus.

3. Force of Will pales in comparison with Writ of Persistence. It also works better with Symbolic Avenger.

4. Invigorated Bulwark would be better then Protected Reviver.

so I did some digging around and found out that a support fractal guardian does exist and actually does extremely well in high end fractals even with only 3 ppl. The build is http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQNAS5dl8AhShYvQwOIQQEHxDVeMexqoGAPwAg7hkILA-TxxGwAAuIAqU/BvSwh7PsU5HhnAwGdDkCwv9WA-e

A video of the build in action is : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLItHwWS_nY

I don’t take credit for the build, Skady Valda is the creator and a detail look at the build can be found on her youtube channel.

If you wanna use a fractal support build you should mantain berserk equip, use zeal honor and virtues/radiance and run with hammer build..
As utilities you should use retreat+shield of avenger+wall (if shield isn’t enough) or bane signet, or purging flames (this only if you don’t have remove condi with virtue of resolve, or if 1 condi removal isn’t enough)
3x aegis and perma protection is the best support you can give to your party while mantaining a good dps, but i’m assuming you’ll be able to prevent big attacks with a perfect timing on giving aegis
