Okay so I’m trying a new build for WvW basically a 1h weapon set with a tanky approach. Traits would be the following:
Zeal: ( )
Radiance: ( V )
Valor: ( I ) ( X ) (XII )
Honor: ( VI ) ( VIII ) “25” ( )
Virtues: “5” ( )
By it yes, using meditations.
Weapons would be a set of Sword and Focus + Scepter and Torch.
Using either cleric’s or sentinel’s set with any type of runes.
I would love to know your opinion guys, always remembering I’ll be roaming from 2 men to 10 men groups.
Thanks a lot! Throw any ideas or comments!

I’m not sure packing healing gear is going to help you all that much. I wouldn’t go over 600-800 healing power. Being able to heal yourself is nice but it’s not going to win you any fights with a Meditations build. You need to be able to burst them down. I would prioritize high critical strike chance over healing power to increase your potential for crits from Torch 4 and Focus 5, which will enable better bursts.

I’m assuming this is a solo/small group build so I won’t comment on your support potential (which is to say, you have none).

Indeed I tried to run with zerker gears, although I seemed to be very squishy! For a few days I ran with clerics and a set of great sword + hammer, I already could take 2-4 if I was with another teammate, I was wondering if 1 hand weapons set could work! Thanks for the Intel also!
