I am not sure if anyone has already made this build or what reception it got from the community, but wouldnt it be possible to combine:

Staff:
- Line of Warding

Shield:
- Shield of Absorption

Skill:
- Sanctuary (with long range trait)
- Judges intervention
- Merciful intervention

Add those all together and what do you have? A group breaking guardian.
I think the reason the meditations would be cool is they can act as a get in/get out, considering you wont have a leap.

So take those avg soldier stat builds and tweak it with this?

Heres a scenario to use it in:

Lots of guys are coming at you, you pop sanctuary at a point where a couple split off being pushed. Then you pop in with judges intervention, pop shield of absorption, slap line of warding just to confuse them more, and when you are ready to pull out and your team is slapping the people who are breaking off the zerg in confusion and being pushed around, you use merciful intervention to get out and get some healing going.

Now you are probably thinking negative thoughts already because it doesnt conform to the meta, but give it a try. Someone I am sure is already running with this and having a blast because people dont see it coming.

Usually i used to do that when playing med build, cast JI to midle of the staking blob , use santuary and SoA and pop out with MI if player survives, it nice for a fast distraction, by this time ally blob was already under a mesmer veil, against decent groups hardly works, if one cant expect to escape try to survive longer, as the enemy burn their skills o coldowns.

Dunno if works now… last time i used JI i didnt even get past trough downed state due number of red circles and condis.

1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.

Amins has a few builds for which one I believe is busting zergs. He would have to reply though because I may have it mixed up. Either that or he just has a few videos of his handy work.

Stability it far too prevalent. Its effectiveness was reduced but at the end of the day a single Guardian with these skills will only remove 1 of probably 5 stacks of stability from an oncoming zerg. If a large number of guardians maybe coordinate their skills there might be some potential but I don’t see the need to bring so many “zerg-breaking” skills as guild zergs usually use line of warding at the trade off of losing all the other shouts does not seem worth it.
