[videos] Ranked PvP Guardian (non-meta specs)
I don’t think it’s so much that people hate bunker guardian as it is just an outdated spec. Why bring a bunker guardian with no damage or mobility when you can just have a celestial ele or engi that can bunker just as well but also actually kill people and rotate?

Outdated is not the right word, it’s just no longer meta. Bunker guard is still a great asset to the team with AoE stability/protection sharing, condi cleansing, res bubble, healing and might stacking with staff. They also stomp better than any of the cele specs.
Thanks for the replies but I don’t think either of you watched the video. I do not use the staff, I have constant swiftness, and I can burst 4-15k damage. The stuff you are talking about would be the meta virtue bunker build, not mine.
skill level for these players is extremely low Im not sure if this proved anything about viability against real players

I have several issues with this video.
1. As a bunker guardian, you should be in the team fight.
2. If you’re trying to hold a point, stay on it. Don’t run in circles around it, while they cap it. Then watch them hold it. If you can’t win it back, you need to rotate.
3. The enemy team was also very unskilled.
4. You wasted renewed focus. A lot.
I appreciate that you posted this here for us to watch, but ultimately I do not feel that this will help benefit anyone.

The goal wasn’t to show the viability against higher end opponents it was made because a couple days ago another player was harassing me before the game started that I was going to bunker the middle of foefire and send 2 far/home and collapse. I don’t think this player understood that there are 2 bunker guardian specs (at least). One in which other people are necessary, and one in which you help other people but are self sufficient. The guy had played 1000s of games of ranked arenas, knew everything about every class, and blah blah blah blah… but with bad language. This happens so often it is not even funny. Now I can at least send them to this thread.
I was taping the match to check out what I am doing right and wrong now that I’ve had a chance to get comfortable with the build. I find fraps’ing a day every once in a while can be really helpful. One of the players from my team was harassing me because I said fun game at the end of the match. A guy I’d watch fight off point and die repeatedly because he had either had a personal vendetta or thought this player was so awesome he just wanted to let him farm him. At the end of the game the guy sends me about 100 tells ending in how much he benches and squats. I think I sent him about 5. In one of them I said I was gonna post the video of his play so he can see how he stands there doesn’t move and gets mowed down.
Here is one more video to show when I am able to play more aggressively. The reason I picked it is because I had the combat log open and land a few burst combos. It also shows the crazy mobility of the spec. Again, it’s not made to show its viability against top level opponents.

That’s all I’ll post and can now just send folks this way when I get grief and go back to having fun trying to find some fun fights to test my skill and work on getting better. I have played this spec against the top players and do find it to be strong but I’m not here trying to prove that.

I get what you saying and I do block the people that rant on winning and losing teams or folks who act ridiculous. It makes an easy KoS aka do I fraps this game list. I can and am starting to play a little in groups but I was having some fun testing out solo que’ing in ranked.
One of the major issues I had is that a portion of the community is pathetic know it alls and it stops some people from playing, learning and growing the community. Despite what people think the game is a lot of practice and if you play on an active TS group you learn a lot about different macros, exploits, as well as class strengths and weaknesses.
When I was first playing and testing out a WvW combo in practice I remember players from the top teams abusing SoW—-> JI macros and taunting the other team. Meditation guardians do work much better with macros. But is this how you go about growing this community? or is it you are trying to protect something you are insecure about by pushing others away? I just don’t know.
Anyways, I know I said I wouldn’t post again but here is a video, another from that one day. This is an example of the other thing folks rage about. A virtue bunker guardian pushing far. It broke into 2 parts and I don’t edit stuff. This is just another point that needs to be cleared up so I can direct folks to this thread. And again, this isn’t to prove the viability of this spec against the top competition.

Thought I would do over to the darkside and play meditation again… but with a twist on the typical spec.

here is a quicker video that ends after the push into far.

Keep working that build man. Ive noticed a lot of players in this game, “if its not meta its not viable.”
Tweak it as you please and build it the way you choose. Don’t be discouraged with this.
What “build” though, its meditations and meditations with carrion amulet and Burn on block instead of focused mind.
Honestly if its not physical burst medi, its burn medi.

Please don’t post if you haven’t read anything.

When you copy other peoples builds because you realize yours was completely wrong for what you needed they will most likely have a group skill called stability. When you have 24 stacks of might it is a good time to use it and dps.
