Dunno whether this has been tried or not before…
But I’ve been testing out this guardian might/support build. I pretty much just thought up about 30 mins or so ago. This condition meta is crazy so I might have to get a little loco too.

Plays out very nice:

0/4/0/4/6
Radiance – Basically use virtue of justice whenever I can. It will additionally remove a boon and blind nearby foes.

Valor – Roll heals, Aegis heals and 2h mastery for having empower on demand.

Virtues – MofC for both Hallowed Ground and Purging Flames. Cheap heal and tri-condition removal. Lower CD on virtue of courage gives me better access to the aegis heal.

Healing power is essential here. With both cleric’s gear and water runes I build up a decent amount of it for all the ways I have to recover damage for my allies and I.

Contemplation of Purity is the “oh crap” utility on the bar. Hallowed Ground works well for stability stomping and you can switch to staff afterwards and empower with 70% boon duration (HG provides an additional 20%). Purging Flames is an amazing ability! Not only does it take out 3 conditions it reduces incoming condition’s duration by 33%.

Sigils on the GS are sigil of battle and sigil of purity. Battle is on the GS because usually after empower, you’d switch to GS for additional might. Sigil of purity can proc easy due to the nature of the gs.
For the staff I slotted sigil of water and sigil of renewal. This allows me to switch out to staff in emergency situations where either I’m dying or my allies are dying . Sigil of water can easily proc hitting up to 5 targets.

It’s a relatively simple build for dealing with the condition meta and shouldn’t be all that difficult to utilize effectively.

Any constructive criticism is appreciated.~

Honestly I have been rolling this build in sPvP and it is SO much fun to use, its a nice Bunker style build that is lovely for dealing with the condition meta, its not a OMG SO MUCH DAMAGE Build sure, but honestly If you go into this build slowly sticking to your teammates running support style you’ll be surprised.

I find that this works best in team fights, especially when you aren’t being focused. I just run into my allies drop HG to halt any CC spammers, buff up, switch to GS and go to town.

Sounds about the same as me, I’ll 1v1 and just sustain on points when I have to switching to GS when I feel they’ve blown a lot of abilities then back to Staff for heal up again etc… occasionally i’ll be able to 1v1 someone down, but most of the time i’m only alone just stalling on an point to hold out until my team arrives and then faceroll.
