Guild Wars 2

I’ve been testing a few different styled builds as of late to see what holds up to the current meta we face as guardians. Spirits are wonky, but very fun at times. Shouts seem to be effective with:
0/1/6/6/1 GS/M/F

It’s got a lot of stability, condi cleanse, and heals surprisingly.

There could be a number of changes made to this, but as it stands it works well as a bunker alternative. I just wanted to throw this out there for the masses that might be bored with other options at their disposal currently, and wanting something else to try.

Edit: As always I’m open to suggestions/changes, and criticism, guard up. Tested in ranked, and unranked with good success.

I use something similar. I prefer to keep Hold the Line over Save yourselves because of the higher uptime of protection/regen, while i don’t mind much about retal, might fury when my job is to bunker and I don’t really miss that vigor with my 2 sigils of energy. I only take contemplation of purity when there is necro or engineer in the other team. I take a guess because those are the two profession that can ruin my day with a lot of burst condition. If they are not in the other team, I probably won’t need contemplation and I’ll take 3 shouts.

Writ of the Merciful is interesting. that’s a lot of healing when you have 3 symbol. But I can’t leave my bubble on rez. I play almost only with a party so the bubble is really important.

Staff vs GS and Cleric vs Celestial are well known issues. I won’t go into that.

Very similar to my build, although mine is a lot more defensive with a Staff. I do use three shouts, which works pretty well for me. I occasionally swap out “Hold the Line!” for Wall of Reflection if the comp I’m facing is ranged-heavy.

I also use Resolute Healer instead of Writ if the Merciful.

Yea the 0/1/6/6/1 setup is nothing new by any stretch, but the shout bunker setup as a whole seems to be holding it’s own against current meta in PvP. I just thought it would be something to share with my fellow guards.
