As the title says I felt like a little experimentation with WvW group roaming and I need ideas about a trolly healer that basically shakes off conditions like they’re nothing and dodge rolls around healing himself and his allies and spams (to the best of guardian’s ability) immobilizes hence the weapon choices.

I was playing around with gear based on what I have in my bank so I don’t have to waste money on new gear. I need help picking up traits that will allow me to keep fury up so I can keep vigor up and cleanse conditions.

When I say group roaming I mean a group of 3 which is why I’m not sure how I feel about AH vs Monk’s Focus or even if I need either of em.

Ideas and suggestions are welcome.

For that you need do play something like a sword+meditations.

Try to raise you stats, you have very low power, health, crit and crit damage.

For healing allies, Cleric Healway (0/0/10/30/30) with Hammer/Staff or Hammer/Greatsword is very nice.

For just being generally bunk as kitten while still being supporty, AH (0/0/30/30/10) shouts w/ Clerics.

If you want to keep up vigor, you can try Cleric armor with Magi accessories for the extra crit chance, or take Precision foods. In group fights where you can hit multiple targets at once, you shouldn’t need much more than 10-20 crit chance to keep Vigor up.

I really wouldn’t recommend Monks Focus and Meditations for group play, as its very selfish, even more so than an AH shouts build.

No need to experiment.

  • Full clerics (Chest + Legs PVT if you don’t have Guard Stacks)
  • GS + S/F
  • 0/0/10/30/30
  • Shelter / X / SYG / HTL / RF
  • Traveller Runes
  • 2x Sigil of Energy, (2x with patch) Sigil of Accuracy
  • Depending on group comp, Life or Bloodlust stacks.

I guess, I didn’t express myself clearly enough. I got the Cleric gear, what is left on that link that I posted is empty trait lines and 2 missing rings.
What I need assistance with is fixing up the traits to provide maximum vigor uptime and making a real bunkery build that just troll dodges all over the place and roots/knockdowns while somebody else does the killing. The damage output is irrelevant as it’s a troll spec intended to last.
Is AH worth it if I’m running with just 3 ppl including myself? Would a Meditation spec be better to keep the fury up for vigor? Those are the questions that I need help answering.

Imo, sounds like a boon duration build it is what you are looking for, boons + shouts + CC.
If you want to heal learn to use combo fields, do not relly on guardian heals.
For the fury and vigor imo you would need to get gear to activate the criticals more often.
One other thing as advice, guardian as bunker rellies more in blinds and teleports than armor, guardian name cames from the shouts and aegis his role is far from being the most sturdy mechanics.

Just run an Absolute Resolution build and you’ll be fine. At least 20 in Virtues, at least 10 in Valor for Purity, maybe 20 if you like the way SiN works (although I only recommend it for at least 5 people). Shouts all the way. Probably Soldier runes instead of Melandru.

As much as you want Fury uptime, it’s not going to happen without gimping yourself in other areas. Rely on your buddies to give you Fury. What uptime you do get + the Sigils of Energy should be enough, especially if you run AR, Lemongrass, Purity, and at least double shouts. I imagine you’ll want to go HTL, SYG, and SY.
