Update: from what I can tell Avatar Amulet is the closest thing to Mender Amulet, which he uses in this video. Could also consider Sage Amulet for more condition damage, not sure if this build uses condition damage though.
Thank you for build, this helped me to deal with depression and sadness for being bad at PvP, now I don't feel useless at all. Keep up the good work man!
As long as they are not OP where they win fights with low effort. Becaus thrn, why would you wanna switch and try to get better with a more complex build, when you can afk on node and win.
This build is very good. Tested it while soloing 3v3 ranked and it survived and did a great amount of damaged on top of it. Thanks for this. I was running something similar with DH traits and it was getting clobbered.
Since october 2020, Writ of Persistence no longer increases the size of symbols in PVP which is a rather important nerf to this build. It's much easier for ennemy players to stand outside the symbol, on purpose or not.
This is a fantastic build and it's finally allowed me to enjoy playing PvP and WvW modes in guild wars 2. Often we get hung up about what is meta and min-maxxing, but the truth is that many players cannot get the most out of meta builds. For the rest of us plebs, something simple is better for learning the other important aspects of the game like movement, positioning, etc. I would love to see more easy-to-play off-meta builds for the other classes too!
Be careful guys the counterplay to this build is insanely hard to pull off : Don't stand in the red circles :O Turns out nobody knows this 300 IQ trick. Tried the build myself, it looks like the center of the symbols have a very powerful magnet on it.
Can you make video for pvp beginners about easy to play builds? Ty

Now Mender's amulet is already removed, so your healing support ability is reduced. But on the flip side I changed to Avatar amulet and I'm able to burst down enemies better because of it (though ofc I have less healing now).
i made a core worrior build with menders anumet and rune of dolyak with mace/axe and gs the sigils are Opportunity and Savagery on both weapons. Utilitys: signet heal, bulls rush, For Great Justice!, shake it off , rampage(standard ). traits:strenght (might make right),defeance, Discipline.I never hit plat with any build I was in low gold but with this I got from g2 in plat 1 . I will try this , I never play guard in rank but now i can.

Dude thank, I play Soulbeast in ranked, had bad times because of the nerfs.and so many fucking bunkers and condies this season. This build made me plat2, thank you again.
Great video my friend but if I can make a request can you make the volume a bit louder from now on? Sometimes it's really hard to hear you even on full volume. But other than that keep up the fantastic work I really enjoy your build video. Helped me with my dead class ( Mesmer )
I recently vs team comp in daily tournament for 1st and 2nd place where they had 4 guardians and a warrior. Even though we didnt stand a chance, them being in a guild and we being randoms (gold 2 not sure how we made it that far), at least one of their guardians had this build and it is a pain to kill lol.
This build relies way too much on teammates wanting to stand next to you, in most of my matches I rarely ever get teammates like that or teammates even slightly interested in capturing points.
yesterday i had the idea for a tanky scourge support with deathmagic, bloodmagic, scourge scpeter/torch dagger/horn marshal bloodmagic for heal DM for tankyness scourge for the shades what do you think
Hey Vallun, question: why do you have Sc/Shield + Sw/Focus instead of Sc/Focus + Sw/Shield? Doesn't it make sense to have the two ranged weapons together and the melee with the shield that has knockback?
no because when youre on sword you dont wanna be knocking them back you want them to stay in your symbol, on scepter you wanna knock them away because you have range, also having a combination of ranged and melee on both weapon means you are never unable to use skills on a weapon set rather than being stuck in a certain role on a certain weapon set u can kite and chase regardless
@@Vallun great answer, thanks. one more question: why rune of durability when you rarely use your elite so wouldn't proc the resist? Could you use something like travelers to be able to move around?
if it is still fun while losing, im all in. i tryhard with the most complex builds and do my shit, but its still a team game, and the team is not always in my favor
fulltime job new dad with 8 month old son that can't stay asleep and needs to be rocked 2-3 more times at night while Mommy tries to take a break and I sneak to play 1 maybe two PvP matches and pray he doesn't wake up build
Impressed by ur skills as usual, not impressed by the build though. I felt that u were just too good at kiting and that basically carried... i can see you doing the same stuff if not better with countless other builds. What do u think about boonbeast ranger - soulbeast double axe. is it viable after the many nerfs?
well as i said this build may not be great in higher tiers, so youll need to be good at the game to get it much further, but it will perform very well in lower tiers. Also boonbeast was the next build i was looking at.
tbh theres not much to say here, just play the meta condi rev build on godsofpvp.net. I would make a build but it wouldnt really be easier or more effective
if youre looking to learn good habits then youre probably already beyond the scope of this build, maybe try my core meditation guardian build or one of my dh or fb builds
I think forming good habits is a matter of mindset. I'm using this build right now because it simplifies my own rotation so I can focus on, e.g. my opponent's attacks (learning when to dogdge/what are common attacks from different classes), map awareness, getting used to noticing conditions on me or my opponent, etc. Because GW2 does not allow for customized UIs, shit can get confusing quickly for a newcomer. I use this build to focus on all the other stuff without dying instantly. I'll move on to another build once I feel comfortable with these aspects. Just my 2 cents.
keep things simple if possible, that`s what I like - I`m currently playing this build in PvE and on the maps, even in the dragon response missions, and I`m just thrilled, my random teammates also after a while ... and yes, I`m using PvP or WvW builds in PvE and in the Open World too gw2skills.net/editor/?PWABw2t7lFwwYfsM2JOuPWpXA-z5AfGZqC6VKIwB
Proof that your rating is not influenced by your own skill but that of the worst players that the server can possibly find to team you up with. Glad its not only me XD
Dodging on cd leaves you vulnerable...either because you don't have any dodges left, or you have dodged nothing and your animation and trajectory are super predictable and punishable. Or maybe he was being lazy cuz its the easiest build in the game.
Finally a build for me to play while reading my 40 emails from my boss and looking after approximately 6 children.
While your doing all that consider having another child.
How can there be APPROXIMATELY 6 children??? 😄😄😄
@@MillaCanDoAnything ones a midget
Approximately 6? 😂 Maybe he isn't able to count higher than 5 so he isn't sure what comes after🤔
Maybe she's counting her partner as one 😀
Update: from what I can tell Avatar Amulet is the closest thing to Mender Amulet, which he uses in this video. Could also consider Sage Amulet for more condition damage, not sure if this build uses condition damage though.
Thanks, just started GW2, all the other build guides I watch are so overwhelming (for a newbie)
Agreed. I’m a newbie as well and while I try to understand everything in the build, I can’t stop watching my skillbar mid-fight lol.
Thank you for build, this helped me to deal with depression and sadness for being bad at PvP, now I don't feel useless at all. Keep up the good work man!
Tried it in 2 or 3 p1 ranked matches and worked really great, i'd recommend it to everyone playing f2p... Good job mate
This is super fun to play, I've been on a winning streak since adopting this build. Thank you for sharing Vallun. :D
i think its good you make builds like this, so ppl can get into pvp
As long as they are not OP where they win fights with low effort. Becaus thrn, why would you wanna switch and try to get better with a more complex build, when you can afk on node and win.
This build is very good. Tested it while soloing 3v3 ranked and it survived and did a great amount of damaged on top of it. Thanks for this. I was running something similar with DH traits and it was getting clobbered.
Watching this while at work, now I must try this when I get home. Maybe you can make a new series called builds for dummies.
Since october 2020, Writ of Persistence no longer increases the size of symbols in PVP which is a rather important nerf to this build. It's much easier for ennemy players to stand outside the symbol, on purpose or not.
Loving your builds, keep 'em up

I would love to see more easy-to-play off-meta builds for the other classes too!
First time trying Guardian, overall it works well but often depends on teammates as I don't have a huge amount of killing power.
finally a build that matches my number of chromosomes
The intro of this build is like you talk about my efforts to pvp ))
i'd love to see everyone here in pvp playing this build and we can all be friends
let us all be friends no matter which build or if you`re red or blue 👍😊🍺
Another great guide thanks Vallun!
Great build ... you'r the best Vallun

Love the content! Could we get an updated version? Or maybe one for necro?
Dude thank, I play Soulbeast in ranked, had bad times because of the nerfs.and so many fucking bunkers and condies this season. This build made me plat2, thank you again.
I remember core guardian had a build around heavy one shot condi damage that still around or not as viable
its actually very powerfull to kill everything 1 vs 1... thanks bro
Love this! if possible, could you make one for necro and ranger too, please? :)
8:38 playing against Mukluk, huh? Kinda bm to take this build vs him :P
Lol, I didn't even notice. What a small world.
Hi mate. Great video. What class/build is begginer friendly now?
Great video my friend but if I can make a request can you make the volume a bit louder from now on? Sometimes it's really hard to hear you even on full volume. But other than that keep up the fantastic work I really enjoy your build video. Helped me with my dead class ( Mesmer )

What would be the natural progression from this build? What build should a core guard player gravitate to next after this one?
my next video
This build relies way too much on teammates wanting to stand next to you, in most of my matches I rarely ever get teammates like that or teammates even slightly interested in capturing points.
Do the job in open Wvw too. And not ridiculous in a WW bus ;) thanks for the information!!
Well I've a rival to this build, the flamethrower scraper
why not hammer? symbol at the end of every attack chain
Nothing has changed right? I'm new to pvp
yesterday i had the idea for a tanky scourge support with deathmagic, bloodmagic, scourge
scpeter/torch dagger/horn marshal
bloodmagic for heal
DM for tankyness
scourge for the shades
what do you think
I have determind after making a bunker chrono build that if it has some logic, you can make it.
mender amulet got discontinued fyi
Is this build still viable in the current game? Don't know about changes and such... Is it also decent in casual PvE?
Please do one for every class.
is it worth taking Retreat over Save Yourselves with the recent patch, such that you get more mobility for rotations when needed?
if you really want it, but save yourselves is a lot of sustain in those fights
Hey Vallun, question: why do you have Sc/Shield + Sw/Focus instead of Sc/Focus + Sw/Shield? Doesn't it make sense to have the two ranged weapons together and the melee with the shield that has knockback?

@@charley3fly the passive effect is still good, as i said hoelbrak works too if you want just the passive effects without the active
@@Vallun what about travelers for the movement speed or do you think that's not defensive enough?
@@charley3fly take whatever u want i made my decision with many considerations
if it is still fun while losing, im all in. i tryhard with the most complex builds and do my shit, but its still a team game, and the team is not always in my favor
Team? Wait u ever get a team ?! u mailed ppl gold didnt u!
thank you sir
Awesome video
Build is still really viable. Did 300k dmg 500k heals in plat
it's a bit outdated, but thank you! a build made for me. i want to enjoy the two pvp matches i have time for.
I'm a noob just started and I get highest heals and damage I love this build tbh lmao
Would berzerker amulet work here?
Am I the only one who wants to know about the "monkeybrand" in his templates :D

Do you recommend this build after the Writ of Persistence nerf?
its still good just not as easy, you need to aim the symbols a bit better
Impressed by ur skills as usual, not impressed by the build though.

Looking forward to it.
excellent guide! You could do something similar for the revenant, I love the guide and the peace with which you explain it! More, please
tbh theres not much to say here, just play the meta condi rev build on godsofpvp.net. I would make a build but it wouldnt really be easier or more effective
Hi, it can be used in pve aswell? If yes what gear i should use i didnt saw any like mender amulet
yes, find anything that gives power precision healing or vitality
say you had a 40 our work week, and you get home and you just wanna smash
bottons
Ty man, if i am tired can i play this and just stay mid!
Yeah another great build I been trying this out and its been pretty good, yes dont move fast but watch out if you come near me haha
for platinum it would be better to play symbolbrand or core symbol?
probably symbolbrand if u can rotate very well, but even then u can be easily focused if u get caught alone
Is this build a good start to PvP? Or does it teach bad habits?
if youre looking to learn good habits then youre probably already beyond the scope of this build, maybe try my core meditation guardian build or one of my dh or fb builds
I think forming good habits is a matter of mindset. I'm using this build right now because it simplifies my own rotation so I can focus on, e.g. my opponent's attacks (learning when to dogdge/what are common attacks from different classes), map awareness, getting used to noticing conditions on me or my opponent, etc. Because GW2 does not allow for customized UIs, shit can get confusing quickly for a newcomer.

otimo video mano , poderia atualizar essa buid desde ja agradeço XD
thank you
Is there like a paladdin type of build in this game?
like a retribution paladin? try the core meditation guard build on my channel
@@Vallun Well I don't specifically mean a paladin from Wow
If i want to boost the dmg more what i can change ?
go dh instead of honor and go marauder i guess
What stats do you look for in gear with this build?
try marauder or a mix of knights, zerk, valkyrie
@@Vallun ok, sounds good. I noticed you had about 1k of healing power, where does that come from?
@@TheWmoon72 pvp amulets give you all your stats in pvp

enjoying killing these signet of courage builds. piss easy to focus with no RF
renewed focus doesnt really provide anything because without virtues traitline core virtues do almost nothing
