I'm really bored and I'm playing with builds.
Hi.
1st build: Points in Radiance (vuln, 5% sword damage) with Clerics and low Precision is probably going to be inefficient at adding damage. The only time you can ignore low Precision is when you have Inner Fire + “SY!” + RHS (15% crit) and fighting someone with burning in a Valkyrie/Soldier setup. Probably not the best idea anyway.
2nd build: 5 more in Radiance and you get 1-h crit +15%. 5 in Virtues give you Might x3, Regen, and Protection. Looks pretty balanced though with 3k armour. probably want hp a bit higher, 14.7k is still easy to burst. The protection from 5 in Virtues will help.
Cough, I like meditations. Sorry Dom, if you’re reading this, I stole your build.
Build “Give it a Whirl (heh)”
1. Screw Survivability: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNAR8dlUgqCHHSNEfYFSmiVCBtFUVIewFc9AiioGC-jEyAYLBZKCMZJQJvioxW1KiGruGT5SEVbwLiWNA-w
2. Lyssa + some Valk: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNAR8dlUgqCHHSNEfYFSmiVCBtFUVIewFc9AiioGC-j0yAYrAjvgILBiIAn8Gya6LiVxioxqrxUupW7KEZwLiWNA-w
3. Even more defensive: Just slot some Soldiers. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNAR8dlUgqCHHSNEfYFSmiVCBtFUVIewFc9AiioGC-jEyAYLBZySgICwZvioxWFLiGruGT5SEVbwLiWNA-w
Maximum AoE Damage + Mobility in this setup. Designed to catch glassy roamers unaware and deliver scintillating blue death. Has good condition removal but 2.4k armour and 13k hp. You also have blind on every weapon so abuse them and protect your focus block until it blows up. Also good at annoying everyone. Sword 2 can be used without target to blind thief Backstab.
Focus block (wait 2 seconds) -> Focus blind -> Binding Blade -> Pull -> VoJ (for 10% damage) + Whirling Wrath + JI + Smite Condition -> Leap of Faith -> Spam Auto to taste.

The first build is trash, to be honest (that’s what happens when you play with build editors at 5 AM). I don’t think I actually intended to use it. I already have a shout build. Will probably just remove that.
The second build is trying to abuse the increase in MF scaling with healing power and somewhat emulate the enjoyment I get out of playing Soldier’s/Zerker triple med in sPvP. I can’t justify running full zerker in T1 WvW. My entire purpose in WvW is either group play or 1vX, and I don’t expect to catch groups of people well enough off-guard as a Guardian.
I’m also super lazy and don’t feel like farming up a millionth set of weapons, which is why the Cleric’s weapons are probably going to stay if I actually bother using meditations. I’m also spoiled to Selfless Daring really badly, which is why I sacrificed RHS for it in the medi build. I’m not super worried about doing tons of damage at once in WvW anyway.

Selfless Daring… sigh… I do miss that trait in offensive meditation builds. It adds a lot to Guardian sustain.

I feel pretty weak when I try to run it on Medis in sPvP, so I don’t. I wish I could though. WvW’s just a different beast entirely.
It also turns out that the horribly inefficient Cleric’s/Zerker shout build is actually pretty enjoyable (and reasonably effective) when roaming with a buddy or two. Not missing too much sustain, but the damage is certainly high enough to contribute some burst. I’m not so sure it’d be very effective for solo roaming, though.

Seems that the runes are going to be less effective with a meditation build. The boons you are getting are Might, Aegis and Vigour. What did you intent to take for Honor 10? If you going with those runes, I’m assuming Wrathful Spirit?
