I saw this on a link from the ele forums and wow I was amazed of how much punishment it can take. Way bunker than bunker ele/guadian themselves.

Never seen a bunker ele or guardian in wvw before?

One that used Omnomberry Pies. There block’s reflections criticalled and healed her for a lot. (or him.) His attacks also healed him for a lot.

30 to both vitaly and toughness. 10 point less is your choice .using soldier gear

^This. That’s pure bunker and I am pretty sure that healing shouts. At least 38k in ehp given by the punishment taken and the actual hp being 28k. Also if you look at the number of up leveled and the relatively low DPS it is not quite as impressive but still it good for a front lines build.

guys, that video was published in september 2012…game was out just one month there have been a lot of changes since then.

Doubt it. I watched this video a good few times in the past and examined it a few more times now. There is no HP spike when he blocks (several times, he drops to critical HP and hovered there at 4-6k, jumping about 1-3k every now and then due to shout healing).

Can you prove that build is relying on Omnomberry pie? Because I even watched healing numbers he got and only the constant tic from Healing sig and the occasional 1.2k from shouts.

PS: Just checked and with the Shield Master trait, you don’t block projectiles, you reflect them, i.e. the ‘Blocked’ message doesn’t show at all which isn’t the case in that video. Unless they changed that in a patch between that video and today, you’re simply misinformed.

As for the question about that build?…I can only surmise it’s a Healing Shout tank build. I’d probably call it a ‘Commander’ build as it doesn’t do much damage and its purpose seems to be to garner attention and harass groups of players to attack it so his group can kill them.

True, but how much has been changed that would affect such a build?

I think the big difference isn’t the patches since that video but how much experience players have now. People know a lot more tricks and tactics in such encounters and wouldn’t fall for the ‘Shadow Refuge behind a corner and jump you’ tactic so easily, for example.

Build is clearly before the lifesteal food nerf.

Shield Master increases toughness by 90 and lowers shield skill cooldowns by 20%.

Missile deflection, 10 points into defensive, reflects missiles while using any block skill.

there are orbs, this is old anything with orbs in wvw doesn’t apply. also if its a shout build shouts back then healed for 2k without healing power. they were nerfed to 1k tyhats why i dont use them anymore.

Yeah, just swap what I said with Missile Deflection (was still early when I typed that :P). Still stands though that reflected projectiles don’t register as blocked.

I see spikes of green numbers, and they are the life-steal foods amount.
I had a lot of fun when I could keep myself up too.

It was also before the lifesteal craze. I don’t think lifesteal food was mainstream until likely October or later.

You’re imagining things.

I see what could be lifesteal heal as well, but it’s not spikes. Heck, if you even pay attention to the damage, he doesn’t critical hit very often likely meaning his critical rate is low (like 35%).

That is why its not as fast as most builds.

My build would of fully healed just from spiking shield blocks because of 100% critical chance.

Not arguing that.

I’m just saying that the character in that video isn’t surviving because of pie. They are surviving because:
-They have 31k HP with constant regen.
-Healing Shouts added to constant regen.
-Defensive gear and weapons.
-Likely facing inexperienced downscaled players with moderate damage output.

There could be other factors, but I’ve used pie before too. I know what it looks like and that isn’t it. Also, can’t say if this build will be as effective mainly due to the experience and effectiveness shift over time.

They are also grouped with other classes, Elementalist spamming water combo fields curing her conditions and guardians healing her as well.

Its a good video, but there are so many factors, how about you watch this instead. Its not even dated.

It basicly does what that build does, except 100x better and without help or “cheating” food.

10/0/30/30/0
Soldier runes/Jewels
health regen/shout build
same build I run, a good defense is a good offense, this build is all about last man standing in 1v1 and in wvw more of the front line fighter, get in drop some damage get out.
The only difference between my build and this is I use GS/Gun as this person uses mace/shield, but use what ever weapon you see fit to fill what role you want to fill, I just like 2 handed sword and guns, but if you want to go all out tank use mace shield/ & mace/sword for two blocks.

When did this involve guardian? This thread is asking about a build in a video and what it is, not how it compares to a guardian.

You try and slander the build with misinformation and I presented evidence that you were not correct. That build isn’t relying on omnomberry pie and unless you can refute the facts:
-Character crit rate is low so 66% lifesteal on a low crit rate isn’t going to cut it.
-Character isn’t reflecting projectiles with Missile Deflection. The trait currently doesn’t nor did it ever show ‘Block’ when it instead reflected.
-Character has no heal spike outside of healing shouts.

Sooo, you got me to repeat myself again. Bravo for that.
