Mediguard 2.0 variant build/guide
GS / S/F Variant
Marauder
Meditations

Variant of the meditation guard build and how to play it with game play and a very close match!
If you have further questions ask here or message me in game at “Waveguider.6271”
Feedback of the build/video appreciated

This is really similar to what I run, only thing is I take Honor instead of Zeal with force of will, that way I get to take Berserker’s amulet.
The build is amazingly powerful and fun, I get to burst down people in seconds…

Berserker amulet has way more damage. How’s the survivability with that? I ran it for ages but mesmers could just 1 shot me and thieves were close to it. Does Honor really help that much with survivability? And you lose out on a bit of damage/damage buffs. The burst is crazy yeah got some great clips in the video

I cannot take seriously any builds without shelter in PVP as of the current <1 sec burst meta. You need shelter more than ever.

And tbh, most medi builds are the same give or take. Zeal vs Radiance are where they tend to differ slightly, but the core is the same.

I spoke about ran shelter in the video, maybe if you watched the video instead of making assumptions it would be better off. I just showed off and spoke about Litany of Wrath since it isn’t a bad 2nd option for a 11K heal every 24 seconds that deals damage and gives fury. This was sword/focus and gs variant where most run sceptre/focus and it is a guide that explains everything then shows it off in a game.

The survivability is really good, I sustain myself quiet well in most fights. Question is weather or not it’s worth leaving Zeal for Berserker’s… It needs some testing

I don’t seem to survive nearly as well with berserker amulet, I know its only about 3 more auto attacks of hp but the difference seems to be so massive and the damage although less is worth it for the higher survivability. I dont think it is due to skill level just the amount of burst in the meta and 11K health on a guard is just too low. I also don’t think the build is that good without zeal and the pro’s outweigh the con’s and yes I have tested it

I made a 10-11k Whirling Wrath build. In conjunction with Feel My Wrath, it melts people in hotjoins. I wouldn’t dare bring it in competitive pvp for obvious reasons.

The issue with Guards is that Mesmers and Rampage bursts are quicker, more reliable, and the classes themselves sustain better. Mesmers can use Berserker amulet and make it viable in tournament play… Guards wont go near it.

Sadly, i’m more impressed with other classes bursts than the Guardians. Watch a Mesmer in Zerkers or Marauders and there’s no comparison. The only thing going for us is the AoE damages the Guard could produce but we’re 2x more unreliable because we’re 3x more counterable in comparison. Teams don’t want power guards, they want bunker Guardians to hold the point, clean condis and give quickness from time to time.

I take this build into ranked pvp and prevail with it quite frequently although it isn’t as effective as some others its still fun to bring the good old mediguard back and since everyone plays bunker guard or burn guard now people are shocked by your burst! Yes I made a shatterupt mesmer build guide w/ game play on the channel also, I would say its better because of the survivability, the engages, bursts and higher range pressure. Yeah bunker/burn guards are way more in the meta for now but this guide is just for fun if you are sick of all that and it obliterates

I’m impressed by it, taught me a thing or two about and JI that i never considered before. Thanks for the vid.

Thanks for the feedback, I try to include little tricks or combos in the videos I make so other’s can do them too. No worries, got more vids like that on the channel and more coming soon !

why don’t you use your virtues while activating RF? its a personal pet peeve of mine seeing other guardians waste a couple of free virtue activations.

I understand, mostly a panic in the middle of a battle as I use RF as an “oh kitten ” button and forget to spam out all 3 virtues, that and I don’t play guard as much as the other classes.

Not to be too lame but Medi is Deadi. At least from what is optimal point of view. The best performing build for Guardians in spvp is again the boring old support bunker.
