The idea behind this build is a front liner with a heap of survivability that is also providing support to allies. Mantra of concentration to provide stability/stunbreak when guardian stability is down. Restorative mantras to help with the AoE healing.

Basic play style is to dodge your way through the enemy zerg leaving plenty of clones to die and spread AoE conditions. Should have plenty of vigor uptime and the clone generation staff and scepter should also help. Null field is pretty much always wanted. I tend to switch mimic out for veil when it’s called for but mimic + stability is also great for going toe to toe with the zerg and throwing their projectiles back in their faces.

Well the first thing I saw instantly is you have empowering mantras when you aren’t a power spec. That trait doesn’t improve condition damage which means it is wasted. Those 10 points could be used elsewhere. Personally though, I don’t like condi specs in zergs because they usually get cleansed very quickly, so I cant really comment on the rest. A condi zerg expert can help ya there

Thanks I wasn’t sure about that; I still like having the 25 point minor trait in dueling, but the other 5 points might be better off dumped into Chaos for extra condition damage.

You probably want Chaotic Transference (Chaos 25) instead?

Aside from that, it’s your build. I would probably not run Mimic because Feedback is strong. If you do that I’d trait for Staff as well (drop Master of Manipulation).
