Guardian / DH build for heals/bunker in pvp
they removed the cleric amulet.
Okay, I changed it to Menders.
Sry for that mistake! ;D
If you are using fragments of faith and traiting Hunter’s Determination you should definitely trait Pure of Heart for more outgoing healing, EM won’t make “that” big difference in your damage output in PvP.
Invigorated Bulwark is a great skill for bunkering, the HP will still be active when you swap to sword, besides that you have a lot of blocks to make it reach its maximum charge (Aegis, FoF, Shield of Courage, Focus #5 and Mace #3). Your healing will become more useful if you take it.
Take Stalwart Defense instead of Communal Defenses, so you can take some more damage and be a bit more “exposed” while wielding sword and take a more offensive role.
Don’t use AH, you are not giving any boon to your allies besides Aegis and Protection (Mace #3 and Focus #4) so it’s a wasted trait. Take Monk’s Focus instead (more healing when using a Meditation) and consider swapping FoF for Smite Conditions (Cleansing a condition + dealing damage on a very short CD). Also, Runes of the Herald are not necessary for the same reason AH is not. Consider using Pack for a more offensive approach or Dolyak for full bunkering.
Sigils of condition transference to enemies won’t work that good along contemplation of purity (convert condis to boons) so I would drop’em, keep Transference on Mace and add Water, in Sword drop Intelligence too and go Blood and Air for an offensive approach (runes of the Pack) or Blood and Water when bunkering.
I also play with Focus Mastery instead of Smiter’s boon, think it’s a better choice because the Protection it gives (ideal for opening battles with Focus #4).
I thought, if I critical I give might to allies, which, in return, heals me. Or doesn’t it work that way?
And thx for the detailed answer (=
Problem with EM is that you won’t have enough crit chance nor hit consistently enough a target to make it proc. Remember that PvP is more about damage spike than constant damage (that’s the case of PvE). Only other bunkers will stay around enough time to be a constant target.
On the other hand, you are giving aegis to yourself and allies periodically with Hunter’s Determination/FoF and Shield of Courage’s passive. This won’t only heal you but also your allies. Once you have fully charged Invigorated Bulwark you can guarantee a sustained heal for your party while blocking with Aegis and using symbols. So PoH is the way to go IMHO. Monk’s Focus will make CoP heal you and will give you Fury, if you use smite condition as I suggested you will have have Fury most of the time.
So, you would switch to IB instead of Revive trait?

Just try it. It works wonders when focusing on healing and sustain.
just had two matches – the build relies heavily on the party
1v1 is easy – 1v2 can be deadly ;D
