Mace/Torch Wombo Combo!
Couple of quick notes:
1.) Torch scales with power instead of Condition damage. The 4th skill can crit for 6k on a good power build.
2.) Sword has better overall synergy than mace for torch. The damage from the 1 skill, Blind and teleport from 2 skill, and the Ranged block and damage from the 3 skill assist good with the torch. Mace only has a chump block ( Single Block) with 3 skill, slow cast low damage small symbol with regen in the 2 skill, and very slow yet decent damage from the 1 skill.
I can make a build with the Mace in a bit if you wish. I think a Sword/Focus and Scepter/Torch build could be better though. I’ll come back in a bit and post both.

That’d be great! Thanks!
Alright back with a couple of builds. Keep in mind these are made with Spvp in mind since…Well that is all I do in game. They will work fine in PVE and WvW as well.
This is one for your Mace request.

This is the one I use in Tournaments. Pretty much identical minus weapon and trait swap.

If you have any questions or wanna chat about it. Feel free to hit me up in game.

While mostly true, if you don’t activate Zealot’s Flame to Zealot’s Fire then it does a normal burn that scales off condition damage.
True
However it would be a waste for skill 4 and 5 to not be used to full potental. Also its pretty hard to scale condi and power damage to a optimal level as a guardian while keeping all the other stats you need. Condi only builds aren’t very effective ether.
