Well it’s certainly is offensive, though, it’s pretty much a yolo build , without honor+ Menders, or without valor medi heals, you’re going to flop under pressure, especially in Melee, since your set is double melee it becomes even more of a problem since you’re running exuberance over travelers, and everything is a lengthy CD on your bar.

Suggestions – If you really want to run that, i’d say try longbow over greatsword, or Scepter Shield. and swap out those exuberence runes for Travelers or Pack, otherwise you won’t be able to keep up or even kite well for that matter without any sustain.

I was thinking Mace Shield, I don’t have issues with double Melee, I thought of Using LB as well.

I have never really like Traveller runes, I didn’t think Menders would do well with this build so went with adding the extra vitality to cushion with the exuberance runes while not losing too much on damage and it provides a slight healing boost.

I did think to swap Contemplation of Purity for Purging Flames, or Smite Conditions.

I can give the Travellers a try.

I’ve used double melee builds. They can be effective because the guardian has a gap closer in both sets. They also have Judge’s to really stick to the target.

The problem is that most ppl will see it and just kite you out. Engineers for example will just leave and return at full health and full cooldown.

Another problem i see with carrying double melee nowadays is the obscene AoE display there is. If you used all our gap closers or your party is AoE bombed you’re pretty much doomed since you won’t be able to enter melee range to do damage without getting CC and damage bombed.

One last thing. If you ever pick radiance trait you have to carry torch, that’s what I’d do.
Anyway, you can have fun with it in unranked. Don’t think it would turn the tides in a serious match though.
