focus on support and bunkering which it does well.

still needs some tweaks but tried it out and dang it’s a bulky monster X D

was in the mood to make a tanky build so try it out and see what you all think.

dolyak runes

The rest honestly seem…underperforming, but this right here… No. Just no. Dolyak runes are trash. The bonus you get from 6 of them is a whooping 30 hp/s. You’re better off with something like Runes of Melandru.

And sigil of earth…no. You have 0 condi dmg.

Hammer would also be a lot better than mace or bow

Yeah, I didn’t even get that far… I stopped at runes of Dolyak.

Sigil of Earth with 0 condi damage? Why in the world…?

Also mace/shield and bow? Do you have mobility? Do you despite actually catching people? If you’re going to run mace/shield you need greatsword (or at the very least sword) on switch.

Yeah this spec of yours is going to under perform, fortunately I have the answer.
10/0/30/30/0
Great Fortitude, shield mastery, cleansing ire, defy pain, inspiring banners, quick breathing, and healing banners. In that order, from top to bottom.

Full Melandru
Sword/Warhorn and Mace/Shield
Sword – Energy on Switch
Warhorn – Life
Mace – Energy on Switch
Shield – 15% paralyzation increase.

Run healing signet, banner of defense, balanced stance, doylak signet and Battle Standard.

tpvp – Soldiers Amulet with Clerics Gem
WvW – PVTgear

There ya go, you wont do any damage, but you will heal a kitten ton, revive faster, dodge roll a kitten ton to mitigate damage, provide buffs and condition cleansing for your team, be annoying as kitten with your ability to stun, snare, cripple and weaken players, and be an unstoppable stomp bot with all your stabilities.

Your spec —-
Spiked armor is useless because if anyone you are fighting is intelligent they wont focus you unless they have to.
Warhorn is stronger then empowered allies because it removes conditions and conditions suck, and your banner is already buffing anyways. Your team would appreciate the condition cleansing into boons much more than a small damage buff. Remember they can’t do damage if they are dead!
Bow I understand because you are lazy and like the easy condition cleanse with cleansing ire, and pin down is OP but you have no mobility. Sword, warhorn will allow you to stay on targets and keep them pinned down at MUCH longer then the bow will ever be able to do. You don’t have any damage either so the rest of your bow skills are useless. Final thrust on sword can still do ~3-5k damage in your bunker spec when used correctly. With only your mace and shield you will probably find yourself chasing down targets longer then you need to.

There ya go Enjoy

yeah actually that’s bow from my main set I just honestly figured I’d post what I had hence when I said (needs to be tweaked)

over all though does some pretty excellent

tested out hammer it’s a bit of a hard choice the goal is to change my typical play style up over all by changing my build.

hence this being a outline of my thought process as well as listening to any good advice people give.

so please carp try to take what I posted with a grain of salt ithought I made it clear in the end (seems most didn’t read it) the build isn’t finshed I’m still experimenting and switching things up.

with the goal being a warrior with high survivability and high point support.

for instance someone pointed out ire’s cleanse effect yeah it’s good but I prefer the adrenaline for my fire fields which I can blast finsh with bow battle standard or any banner I’m using.

who said anyting about being lazy and using ire for the cleanse.

I use it for the fire fields which I then can blast finish which will give (depending on what I use) 7 stacks of might (with battle standard) or 3 if I just use my aoe with bow.

with that said I do like the advice about the sword as well as aoe cleanse.

actually I already switched to hammer trying it out lately now.

only reason for mace was weakness and the shield + shield mastery. honestly I’m not sure about the toughness aspect loss with shield but yeah I switched to hammer to test out a few things.

as for the sigil of earth that’s my condition bow I never got around to changing their is a very good reason I said I need to tweak it some more.

more or less figured it would be a good chance to make a good bunker which it does well andi wanted good point support which it also does well.

simply yeah ik I need to change the bow’s sigil but that is for a later time.

to round up everthing thanks for the tips on how to tweak my armor to everyone who was kinda constructive.

to people who decided they wanted to be a kitten and insult me get loss.

(sig of earth yah I just posted what my exact stuff was at that time I haven’t had achance to take a look and see what would be better i’ll probably take force)

doly runes well gave stats I wanted and my hp heal so I didn’t really know much regaurding that much either.

not a real big fan of melandrus yes I checked it gives toughness but reason I’m testing out doly is they give both vit and tough am thinking of adding in some healing power into it though
