burn guard still viable in pvp?
i messed around with a Burning DH last night using LB Scepter/Torch with heal trap, purging flames, judges intervention, procession of blades and the Dragon Maw elite.
Was just testing it and it did suprise a few people, dropping them quite fast before they even knew that i was condi (well hybrid since i was using Mercenary Amulet and Balthazar runes plus sigil of smoldering)
Super slow movement speed like most guardians but was interesting. Power DH is probably still better (well it is meta for a reason) but so many people expect you to be power DH that the suprise factor is a novelty.
In order to boost the burning procs i did take supreme justice and permeating wrath with works really well with LB#5 and the Procession of Blades trap in a team fight.
not sure i would recommend it over power DH though.

Thanks man, answered all my questions
Burn Guard is a very gimmicky build, and you’ll have an even harder time against necros as the decent ones will just transfers your burn stacks back on you then interrupt Shelter, then corrupt all the boons you spit out. That being said, it’s very good against people that don’t expect it, thus allowing you to stack ~6 stacks of burning on them.
