Optimal WvW - Zerg
You can stick with what you have, honestly.
You can also swap SY! for Purging Flames and grab the consecration trait, and then swap POV for AH for a 0/0/6/4/4 build without any need to change gear. I would suggest a bit more soldier than cleric though (maybe weapons).
I also suggest you use stone instead of oil as your raw power is a bit low. When it comes to pure dps, I believe power is better plus your build isn’t made to burst anyways. You don’t have any procs besides vigor on crit and that being on a 10 second cooldown is a non-issue. Plus fury comes easy on a zerg.
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

if you are pugging you should not be running anything else beside 00662 staff GS / hammer with shout runes… basically the 0815 shout support. Why? Because it is by far the most important spec when it comes to zerg fights…
i really recommend switching Absolute Resolution for Alt Healing… Condi cleanse is good enough from the shouts alone and AH adds so much survivability.
if you’re running with a coordinated guild group than of course other builds are interesting too but that depends on the guild and setup you’re running
Just for curiosity, what would be the Optimal for AH build? If such doesn’t exist, an example? I tend to mix Zerker and Soldier, then get excited and I end up want to get 200% Crit Damage, wich is not optimal since I’ll stay with 27xx armor
I would also like to have a full set of armor with the same stat, I usually just mix acessories or weapons
0/1/6/6/1 or 0/0/6/6/2 (purging flames) is the most popular build. Soldier+zerker+cavalier+knight are a good way to adjust your stats to what you need— use a build editor of course. AH scales extraordinarily badly with with healing power except for dodge heals so cleric is not worth it.

I found this; is pretty informative.

Thanks, I’ll check asap
Easy simple tanky zerg build. Imho I die when I run out of stability. And with other guardians running purging flames too and warriors running warhorn I prioritise stability over condition removal. AH gives you sustain you need.
Anet lied (where’s the Manifesto now?)
What do you guys think of these build?
Can I start the investement? Btw, would Hammer be better than Staff on this build or not?
Staff is pretty much a must in WvW, then it’s up to choice if you want hammer or GS as a secondary weapon.
