Alright, I know the crit rate seems low, but it is actually higher than you’d thought, thanks to Radiance spec (+15% crit rate on sword, and +10% crit rate on burning ennemies, plus high fury uptime, which means around 82% crit rate on sword, and 67% on hammer). The build is made to keep the ennemy burning as long as possible with condi duration and burn duration, while still beeing able to take and deal damages and grant a fair amount of support.

I took the shield for the “Shield of Absorption”, which saved me and some friends a fair number of times, allowing res and preventing flagkill by pushing ennemies away. I know it lowers my DPS, and takes away some burning duration, but the protection, and control are worth it, imo.

Now I see people saying focus might be a better support off-hand, I disagree. Focus is a great defensive weapon for yourself only, while shield is more party oriented.

Now I still hesitate between Merciful Intervention, and Judge’s Intervention, one is a good support, while the other deals long-lasting burns. Both granting mobility.

I imagine that being a wvw build?
Build is easy kitable for range specs and doest have much pressure, for a team i would sugest use to GS or specter-focus, and hight burst builds will eat that since u are not using focus+shelter, u can even trait virtue of justice to immobilize combined to specter that is 2 imobs.
Also get a fire condi build u can take purging flames to ~10k+ (on a perfect world) on full effect and if u keep pushing enemies towards it.

As for shield, SoA dome can fail easilly, and since it roots to one place and does not offers the tools that pay off guardian by getting rooted, Kb will mostly fail if player get tricked into a smoke field, thief doesn’t even needs to get invisible and will still down your ally, dome Kb will miss due smoke field, overall doest not worth it.

if it is for pve u can go even w/o armor for silverwastes… i would recommend to get real squishy and increase your damage by a very good amount, pve is really easy once u get used to.

Looks like it could work, I would personally use JI unless you want to be a support role.

In the case of a support role I would go with some more support-ish gear. Possibly more celestial or even clerics/magi for party heals (not sure if this is even viable anymore)

If you’re going for a more hybrid / damage role I’d trade up some of your surv for more crit+power or condi so you have more stopping power. I have no problem rolling with ~2500 toughness with medis.
