so this build is focused around timing your burst with the hammer knockdown.
i try and get ray of judgement anf flashing blade up to get the vuneralbility onto target. get shielf of wrath up and then knock ppl down and do whirling wrath. its great dmg.
for the survival i think rune of the forge suit this build werry well because of the protection you get from f3 and the runes them self.

sigil of superior battle suits the weps well because im switching weps a lot and im usualy on 9stacks of might which is a nice boost in dmg.

id say this build got great dmg and great survival.

so what do you think? any tips or ideas to make it better?.

sorry for my bad english by the way. its my native language ^^

(gogo guardian!)

Change the runes to something else as the ones you’ve decided on make no sense when looking at this build.

Change Purity for Retributive armour.

Change the lightning strike sigil to something else cause in all honesty there are just better options for example Blood is nice or use the hydro rune to chill them so you can get off the whirling blades easier for example.

I could go on but that’ll do for now I don’t want to go changing your build into something else haha.

and the runes makes great sence. without the 30% dmg reduction at 50% health this build would be too glass cannony.
the air sigil is for burst dmg. it hits for 1-2k
also purity is really needed for a build with this low hp.
but thnx for the feedback so far guys keep it up ^^

no idea why you defend these runes…
take boon duration (standard 2*water+2*monk+2major water ) and use hold the line, more protection and regen anytime, not just when you hit 50% . (60 seconds internal CD is total b.u.i.l.kitten)
also your mights will stick longer..

sigil of superior air is no good, take superior fire, same chance, same damage but AOE.

two traits that you spend on the silly hammer are waste IMHO, either go spirit weapons all the way, or swap for better traits.

if you still want this build, drop zeal to 15.
raise radiance to 15 (going into radiance and stop on 10 never reach 15 is crime punishable by public humiliation…) f1 spam for offencive build is so OP i’am still puzzled why it wasn’t nerfed with the omnom pie…

change purity for retributive armor as meditations have active condition removal and swap virtues 10 as needed, don’t be fixated on spirit weapons, consecration trait is good with WoR and 25% retaliation is good with stand your ground or save yourselves, unscratched contender is AWESOME in ranged fights with scepter… 20% more damage just for running around and occasional dodging..

If he wants to burst, sigil of air is better, its damage modifier is 1.1 while fire is 1.0.

It’s down to your personal preference I’m just giving advice based off of my experience.

and purity really isn’t going to do all that much for you if I’m going to be honest here and you could use the extra crit chance.

The runes still make no sense cause there are simply better ones out there and in all honesty that protection won’t do you all that much trust me I’ve tested a lot of builds etc.

The Sigil is down to personal preference but I feel as though there are better options that the air sigil but again that is down to you.

Also what are you trying to make? A glass cannon, A balanced build? ( I understand you said bursty but that can fall under a few categories)

so bursty as in spike someone down pretty quick.
i might try out the boon duration runes. but tbh the protection is a 30% dmg reduction for 10sec which can make and brake a fight imo (defending my runes to the last!! :p ALSO the extra toughness is nice
and my build is build around the hammer so not gonna be removing that.

I have no idea to reply to this cause I personally have tested a lot and without blowing my own trumpet I am pretty darn good at PvP and your build in theory sounds good but bad things will happen to you in actual battle.

I’m not going to go into any further detail on this post because you keep repeatedly defending the Forge rune and it’s getting annoying so since you aren’t willing to take peoples input as such just roll whatever ya like and have a good day.

playing with a similar build. can confirm its kitten.
if anyones interested in gameplay watch this vid. ayra is a awsome guardian

The date that video was made was a while ago and a fair few things have changed since then including Spirit weapons being able to die (rather easily as well) so yeah that Video isn’t overly useful.

Forcing the way you play onto someone else who’s already stated they liked the runes yet you continue to say “change them because I say so” is equally annoying. You’ve given him no feed back in regards to the rune choice other than to say it makes no sense or bad things will happen. This isn’t constructive feedback. Perhaps you should explain why you have those opinions and suggest other runes.

The same goes for you other posters, with the exception of the one that actually suggested changing the sigil for fire.

That video is on the older side, but the runes that Ayra is using are still perfectly viable. The only thing worth changing about that build is really the Spirit Hammer (and it’s corresponding traits). Even then, the hammer is still usable in sPvP for its glorious knockdown.

I will quote myself ‘It’s down to your personal preference I’m just giving advice based off of my experience.’

I may have come off aggressive and for that I apologise but as you can see above I have stated it’s down to personal preference however what I can’t stand is when someone asks for build help but defends their build without thinking ‘why is that person saying to change this’. I am giving feedback which is of course based off of my personal opinion nothing more. Don’t like my opinion then don’t take note of it ^^

Welcome to the Internet.

On another note I fought a Guardian in Spvp yesterday who was running this build and he was very good since we were toe to toe for most of the fight but I did eventually down him. This build can work like many other builds can but at the end of the day it is skill that will cause you to win or lose and a bit of luck never hurt anybody. Run what suits your play style but bare in mind with threads like this you will get opinions and of course they will be different from your own which is the point at the end of the day. You like Forge runes I like runes of Divinity and that’s how the cookie crumbles
