If used properly, this build is super fun and very strong. It's not as strong as FB bunker, but it does pretty good heal and decent damage. This build is definitely viable. EDIT: I think this build has extremely great potential rn, if ANet doesn't do anything drastic to DH in the upcoming balance patch, this build could be in the "Great" category.

I second Hanz’ statement and add that the devs plan on lowering the game’s powerlevel even more, I’d argue that this build now is more then viable.

Back from the archives after 2 years. Now that the power level of the game went down a bit it's seeping back into ranked. Really decent sidenoder but ultimately there are better options out there.

Great build possibly better than the meditrapper if used properly.

A great build for bunkers wishing to survive versus the endless conditions in this current meta. It can be modified to do more damage, or more supporting as needed, and is well suited for maps with smaller capture zones. I regularly end up with 250-500k healing per game and it is incredibly strong at hold points for a long time as long as you play it well.

Both variants(DH and Virtues) are spectacular.After 16 May patch this is the most sustain bunker build in my opinion.I ran this at 6 season(Plat) and will continue at next one.Always got top healing(even with Tempest in one team) - around 500k and about 300k damage in average, even in bad matches.With this you have ability to carry game pretty hard(just go far and hold against several foes).I'm using Mender amulet and Dolyak signet.With Stalwart Defender it provides you ~400 touchness that really perfect.

I tried core bunker and it's phenomenal. Tried Dragonhunter but feel Virtues is simply better for bunkering. For the optional slot I sometimes take Hallowed Ground along with Master of Consecrations trait for much-needed stability. The build's weaknesses are lots of CC (Revenant), power bursts and sometimes condi warrior (due to the CC). They're workable though. Edit: the build will have a tougher time surviving 1v1s since Invigorating Bulwark got nerfed. Slightly worse but another nerf of that scale will push it down for me.

I tried the f2p variant of this, with as listed moderate success, if you play your strengths, you should have an alright time

Guardian Medi used to be a very high end build, then guardians went away. Now, they're back, and I feel with a much better skill set. This build has just been downgraded outside of meta, but I can't understand how the LB variant of DPS Guards remains on top. This build provides better synergy with teammates, and has better 1v1 capabilities. To each their own, I suppose, but Smybolic is the best guardian build as of now.

This is a wonderful time to be a guardian. Last couple of pvp seasons I have been using necromancers, while my guardian has been on the sidelines, but not this time. Between the more offensive build and a more bunkerish build, I am a happy camper (pun intended)! Concerning the more bunker of the builds, would you still use the same sigils or something different? Also was curious whether force of will would be better for that kind of build.

Been using a modified version of this with a lot of success. People underestimate the usefulness of the scepter in my opinion. You can adjust this as the team needs so it has pretty good flex. Just feels more versatile than the meditrapper build to me. If you go more bunker with it you could compare it to the bunker guard of days past with more damage. This will likely be my main rank up build this season.

One of the Best builds for DH out there. Good for Point capping / decapping. Great in smaller fights and it's a great counter to plenty of over used classes (1 being druid). Just overall great build and it deserves a place in meta.

I have to agree way more versatile then Meditrapper. Played in several matches of the last few days and smoked the meditrappers. Not only that but with this build I out damage and survive my friend that plays meditrapper. Take judges intervention and apply pressure to your foe. Dont wait for them to come to you. Best Guarding build ever. I am so glad I didnt have to play bunker this season.

Really fun to play and a really good build. I have never really been convinced by the classic trapper DH but I think this build offer more possibilities. Anyway I think Runes of Speed is way more better than Rune of the pack because it's offer more mobility to rotate and in fight, it's really help to get close to your opponents with sword.

Great build. Traveller runes are a better choice in lower elos.

Using traveller runes with this build gives decent mobility without giving up much else. Great skirmisher from my experience 1v1 up to 2v2. Average in large team fights. Hard to tell whether this or meditrapper is more effective in large team battles but have been winning 1v1s and 2v2s against meditrappers ~70% of the time with this build. Most importantly: Very easy to learn and play. More so than meditrapper. Don't know if build has place for very top competitive level as I am not there but certainly extremely viable all the way up to at least higher ruby and lower diamond.

Very strong build, Mender version is a solid solo point tank. Has the same balanced skirmisher feel as Power Hammer Scrapper. Damage sources are very difficult to avoid, and survival options are abundant against all damage types.

Very overrated build with a lack of mobility and a symbol gimmick that will not supply enough healing or damage. This build is not strong enough to be an actual bunker and lacks the killing potential required. This build is just proof that ANET tried hard with symbols but ruined the chance when they put symbolic avenger and writ of persistence on different trait lines. In the end, the best bunker is still a scrapper engi. 3/5 stuff.

With the symbols added to Sword and Scepter, I'd say this build is actually worthwhile. This build can decently chase and engage, helping allies when necessary. It can give decent boons at that. It can also handle conditions very well, with four skills that can remove conditions. I think this is a quite versatile build and deserving of a Great ranking.
