Guild Wars 2

After guardians got that +300 vitality trait, I’ve been thinking of creating a new build using it and Exuberance runes. I guess the build would be for WvW mostly, but it could be used in PvE as well.

After fiddling around with the build editor I just decided to slap meditations to the same build.

This is the current version, which is roughly based on the gear my guardian has:

In my opinion it looks quite promising what comes to pretty much all the stats. I’m not so sure how well the meditation heal skill would work out, so I took Shelter.

Before wasting kazillion gold on buying those 1500 sprockets (c’mon using the sprocket generator would take like 6 months), I’d like to ask if anyone has tried to do similar build and how it have worked out.

I like the idea of your build, but my only concern would be a lack of condition removal. With such a heavy condition meta, having only one way to eliminate only one condition every 16 seconds makes you pretty vulnerable to condition builds.

With that said, I would replace merciful intervention with SYG, use pure of voice instead, use retributive armor instead of meditation mastery, and superior aria instead of pure of heart, and use potent master maintenance oil and bowl of curry butternut squash. You will have 49% crit chance, 207% crit dmg, and a life pool of 19055. With meditations giving you fury, you will be up to 69% crit chance hitting like a truck! plus your health pool is still high for guardian with meditations healing and SYG will remove a condition while giving you a boon and stability, plus smite is another form of condition removal. The build you posted I see working very well in PvE, but without a stronger condition removal aspect to your build then you are going to melt to a lot of other classes.

Thank you for posting your build! You got me thinking! Tap Dat Mouse on YouTube has some great builds to play around with too.

I agree that the condition removal ain’t that good at the moment. Another option would be grabbing the Signet of Resolve as heal and/or some condition cleansing sigils to weapons.

*Edit
Forgot to mention that I was also thinking of using sword/focus or staff for the swiftness in WvW. Also forgot that the purity sigil has internal cooldown of 10 seconds and not 5. :/
