It’s a bunker build for PvP and WvW with perma regen, and a water field with 2 leap and 1 blast finisher. What I’m not sure about is pets. I like the bear because it has the extra condi clear and is a pretty good tank, but is there a better option? I also like the wolf for fear giving me time to finish my dps on a low-health target. However, I’d be open to other options if you think there’s a better option. The other thing I’m not sure about is sigils. Energy is great as dodges keep the poison off of you (which is vital considering it’s a regen build), but I’m not sure about the second sigil. I’m just going with force cause I don’t know what else would work but it doesn’t go that well with the build. I’ve had good success in bunkering and managed to hold a point for a couple minutes (I used my heal at least 3 times) against 3 people. Any feedback is appreciated.

I like your build.
Tbh I don’t see any flaws or things I would definitely change.

My first thoughts were positive and nice build, since you wanted feedback I thought a lil longer and my first doubts were:
- Is there enough damage in this build?
- Pets. Bear specifically. Your utilities, shouts and traits are kinda leaning towards pets, and then you put a bear in there, which isn’t really a dmg/control pet. It has a cleanse but I think you can get more out of it. Maybe sylvan hound since you like regen? I wouldn’t go any squishier then drakes and canines since you traited 10 points in BM. Felines and Birds are, imo, too squishy for 10 points in BM. So that leaves you Ursines, Devourers, Drakes, Canines, Porcines (no experience) and maybe Spiders and Moa’s but they may die too fast, especially in WvW, spiders are ranged so that’s a lil +. I only use devourers and ursines when traited 0 in BM. With 10 I like drakes and canines, they provide more dmg and/or cc then ursines and devourers, but aren’t so squishy like felines, birds, spiders and moa’s, though spiders have an edge here since they’re ranged.

Sigils: In WvW maybe sigil of bloodlust for + power. Wouldn’t go for bloodlust in PvP. Maybe stick to force in PvP.

He doesn’t really need more regen if he already has perma-regen, does he?

I have tweaked your build slightly to be even more bunker without any heavy modifications. Personally, I don’t like your build due to the lack of pressure, but if you want to be unkillable then so be it.

Here it is: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQNBhYD7koisg7rwKIWLDItHailgJvCzi7h/1Jh4Jr4KrA-ToAgzCmIATBmDMDYSwsgt+YXA

I have removed your excess use of regen. Guard with Shout Mastery is more then enough to keep it up indefinitely. You also have Rejuvenation in case you delay on casting guard.

This modification focuses on keep your protection boon up which is vital for a bunker. With the use of your energy sigils and Companion’s Defense, Nature’s protection, and Rune of the Forge, you should easily keep the boon up for more then 30+ seconds. Hell add Blue moa and replace sic’um with Stone spirit (make sure to cast it away from battle, since it will be immobile) and you can keep protection up almost all the time.

Also got you the weapon cooldown so that you can evade and jump more often.

Thanks for the advice guys. I like having sik’ em especially with the buff coming out to it soon (thieves go bye bye). I’ll definitely try out some different pets (leaning towards Krytan Drakehound right now). I also like melandru runes especially vs necros who can just keep reapplying condis but that don’t last that long (you’d be surprised how fast they fall off between the signet, runes, and trait, and dodging removing poison and blind) so that my regen can be effective. But I’ll definitely try some of the trait changes.
