Hello everyone,
i want to be short since this isn’t a real “guide” on this build, because i don’t have pieces yet, but only a good theorycrafting start point.
(SBB = sword big burst XD).

Ok, the enitre build is based on sword massive damage, i can say this will be something like one shot, simply because the build works with 100% crit chance a 100% critical damage multiplier.
So basically all what you need to do in order to kill an opponent (and notice that this will be a viable build only in solo roaming/hearth of the mists (if you can replicate the build)); just follow few skill rotations:

1 ) the entire build is based on meditation and so:
- heals on use
- fury on use
- short cd
2 ) also the build is based on defense:
- got some armor and vitality (not a full zerker one)
- vigor spam
- blocks
- tons of heals
3 ) excellent mobility:
- permanent +25% movement speed
- 2 teleports + 1 immobilize
- various condition removers
4 ) absurd damage burst (the most important point):
the is a principal burst rotation followed by some variations:
1. shield of wrath
2. binding blade
3. virtue of justice
4. judge’s intervention (yes if you use this you can avoid a roll from enemy and it is needed for fury)
5. zealot’s defense

total =
on enemy:
1x shield of wrath blast (100% crit) + 1x full zealot’s defense (100% crit) + 2x burning + 3x vulnerability + 2x blind
on you:
up to 2 attacks blocked + 3 might + 1x might per block + 5sec vigor + heals (on meditation use) + fury (4.75 sec)

(ps: what happens if you need heals and use "Lytany of wrath + zealot’s defense (100% crit) ?? )

notice also that sigils aren’t random; infact there is a sigil of battle on sword so you can switch to scepter when a foes is downed and kill it at range… get a stack (if you weren’t full) and switch back to sword with a 3might stacks boost.

tell me if you have suggestion and notice that this is only the base for a powerfull offensive (but not squishy) power build for guardian: add and change what you want in order to make it suits your playstyle.

enjoy.

For min/max purposes, you may want to do your offhand as soldiers, and your shoulder/hand/feet as zerker, since stat to crit dmg rate is better on those pieces of armor than weapons, and the exchange rate between 1 one-handed weapon to those 3 pieces of armor is fairly identical.

Have fun trying to land your sword burst with no soft cc… I tried many times to use sword as a dps weapon. At least from spvp perspective, people with just dodge roll and mitigate your dps making it very unreliable. DPS wise, hammer and GS are both better at DPSing than sword.
