What build is still viable?

All build are still viable, just that anything with single target burst got nerf harder than others.
IMO hammer + GS is actually better now with xx6x6 build, shout heal condition is still as powerful as ever, same goes with condi bunker. Of course Ham-bow is still just as powerful. Celestial Axe-bow got hit a bit harder though.
The real nerf of this patch comes from the buff of other classes.
I mainly play sPvP and I’ve had a lot of fun playing a condition based warrior. Sword/Shield coupled to Longbow along with Healing Signet, Balanced Stance and Endure Pain. I use a 0/5/6/0/3 build. I use Sigil of Agony and Sigil of Earth on my sword and shield. I use Sigil of Geomany and Sigil of Earth on my Longbow. As for runes and amulets I use the Rune of Krait set and a Carrion amulet. I don’t know your play style but I enjoy this build a lot more than Hambow.

Simply because you were not successful with it yourself, doesn’t mean it isn’t good.
Both Hambow, and S/WH builds have worked well for me. I tend to run a sword/ war horn + bow when I am commanding in WvW. It has not failed me since the changes.
