Glass cannon GS build for guardian (sPVP)

That’s my TsPvP Guardian DPS build. It’s good and you can obtain a lot of condi removal and healing ability.
That build is good for 1vs1 and can be good for 2vs2/3vs3, when you learn how to play whit that build.
To fight better the condi bunker meta, I actually play whit Barbarian Amulet (Vitality + Power + Precision), giving lesser damage but gaining 6k more HP.
I use Sigil of Air to gain a extra attack every 3 seconds, but you can change it whit Sigil of Strenght, to increase your might stacks and deal more damage, or do something like use the Sigil of Doom to poison your enemy, reducing by 33% they’re Healing ability.
Whit that build you swap your weapons every 9 seconds to obtain always your best dps skills and ose a Swap Sigil can be good.
About Runes you can change it whit Ogres, if you like the Rock Dog, or you can use the Pacht, that grant 125 precision and 10 sec of Might, Fury and Swiftness every 20 seconds to you and your allies.
Or you can change and use a build 4/0/6/0/4 to obtain the Trait for the GS (5% more damage and a little of healing).
You can change that build a little to fit your playstile, but that’s the actually best DPS Guardian sPvP Build.
This is what I currently have on for PvP, perfectly viable.
Just a recommendation; if you go full glass cannon on Guardian in WvW/PvP, use the Berserker/Valkyrie amulet (I forget the name), the Vitality tree at 6 (which also gives you cooldown reductions on Shouts and 2H weapons), and the Vitality grandmaster trait and you will have double HP despite being full glass.
Damage will only be slightly lower than full Berserker and it will give you enough points left over to run with Power tree up to 4 or 6 and some other.
Try to avoid Toughness or Virtue trees on full glass; they drain damage quickly. They are meant for pure survival or aiding allies and do not offer the Guardian much when it comes to playing for damage in 1 Vs X situations.
You don’t need Mediation Fury when taking Fury-on-hit runes.
Spirit Weapons run best with such builds.
I’m usually really sweet… but this an internet forum and you know how it has to be.

@Hannelore,
Anymore then 1 in Honor is useless and does nothing unless you are bunkering.
If you are going to go for a DPS (WvW/PvP build) Meditations are a must-have, 6 in valour is a must, monks focus, focused mind and meditation mastery are a must-have. 4 in virtues for absolute resolution is worth every single point and I would not go without it in any build tbh.
Fury-on-hit runes are a pointless waste compared to other runes.
Spirit weapons suck kitten for almost everything and are not recommended for anything and really do nothing for you as a glasscannon.
Thanks for all your help guys , probably last question , what about Sigil of Rage , i saw that Silven uses it in his build , is it any good for sPVP ?
Well, its not bad but its uncontrollable so you can’t proc it when you would really need it. Other sigils are more useful.
This is high risk/reward. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAsdSlsApaodDxcI8DNR8gY9nWbqKw1/CmD-TpQaQA99HAlBAA
You drop 4 from virtues and lose a bit of condi removal, and you lose the 5s of vigor from 1 in honor. But, you gain 10% damage with sword, 15% crit with sword and 10% damage on conditions.
Burst combo is: Shield of Wrath > Mighty Blow > Judge’s Intervention > Banish > Zealot’s Embrace > Flashing Blade > Smite Condition > Sword AA.
Works pretty kitten well.
