Guild Wars 2

I realize I should have made more reserve slots for my burn guide. I had to cut a couple things out because of spacing. May remove the settler’s bunk section for the sake of priorities.

Added Rune of the Guardian in the Burn Guide.

I’ve never gave the amulet much of a test ride but I’ve been using it for a couple weeks and it’s been very effective thus far.

The build i’m currently using in TPvP.

Happy BBQ!

I dont like it. Your prev versions, and my current build are better.

GS: Its actually bad for a burn build. I find sword/focus scepter/torch to be far superior
Smite condi: you simply NEED it for the superior healing/condi cleaning and pressure
Improved virtues: I simply cannot live without traited F2 and F3. You give up any kind of team support, stab, and extra suitability for an increase to burn application which you will most likely not live long enough to see

balthazar rues: Its simply better, 11k burn on every single purging flames application is superior to current guardian runes.

With your build you only have enough juice to run in, drop burning flames and die by the time you finish GS#2. Try fighting any kind of serious premades with a cele necro and ele, you will get wrecked

Hunter.4783:

GS: Its actually bad for a burn build.

He can JI—>WW and insta—10-15k damage to a person/group. The burst potential with GS will always rank it high for a burn build, even if it lacks the sustained damage that sword offers.

He’s running smoldering sigils to make up for the burn duration, which makes his focus (5) hit like a truck. Personally I run traveler runes with sigils of smoldering and the sigils really do make up for the Balth runes.

I run smoldering and balthazar, any of my burns that don`t get cleansed will take away half the HP

The problem is sustain and sustained damage.

GS don`t offer you sustained damage, Sword focus or sword torch does.

Also sword 3 is amazing in sPVP when everyone is bombarding you with ranged damage and will let you facetank and pressure another focus burn guardian…hard

I have tried all variations of the build. IJ+ sword 3 is equally as well as IJ+GS2 for single target and has tracking on top of it.

Any competent premate will simply cleanse your initial GS burst and you will be left with a SINGLE condi cleanse and be fodder afterwards.

Greatsword. Seriously it would be a waste to try to explain it to you because you have sword tunnel vision. Its not just whirling wrath for one thing. Sword really is one of the worst weapons for Guardians across the board in spvp imo. Its right up there with Hammer these days. And your talking about sustain when burn guardian is currently all about getting as many stacks as burning as possible on as many people possible and doing a lot of damage quickly. The type of play you seem to advocate is actually the old burn guardian which was only good in 1v1.
