Things to note about Continuum Shift

1. Continuum Shift cannot be used to get back up once downed. The rift disappears when you are downed, similar to minions. Limited testing due to timing issues so it is unclear if cds are still reset(as in, you use F5 before going down, use a skill, go down and then are revived by someone).

I have not been brought back while downed, but I have been brought back after being stomped. I was waiting to respawn looking at a rift asking myself “is that not mine?”, then I respawned at our base and then suddenly I was back at the fighting scene, quite surprised. It happened me twice in the same match.

How bad is my PvP Guardian build?

Thank you for your reply. I have been away for over six months and back then I could not really have too much condition protection. Maybe things have changed.

Signet of Judgement was in my build instead of Purging Flames until I concluded that I did need more condition removal. SYS is hard to resist, despite its danger.

I am not asking for the optimal heal or hold build. I just want to be assured that my build is good enough to take part in Arena PvP, or if I should stay away out of consideration for my teammates.

Hello! I am a rank 30 PvP Guardian. I do not really have patience for deep analysis. Instead I try things out until I find something that works for me. I have tried other builds than the build below, but this is what works for me and I have fun. In 1v1 I sometimes win and I sometimes lose, which somehow seems fair to me. In Solo Arena team play I have more wins than losses.

I have met people that have praised my work, but also people who call me n00b guardian because they expect me to hold by my own. To the latter I would like to say “if you do not like my playing style, do not play PUG”.

I have fun playing and would probably rather quit PvP than changing my build too much. However, I do not want to waste my teammate’s time and ruin their game, so I would appreciate your opinion.
