Overview

A bursty condition boon support build that provides permanent Alacrity Alacrity and near-permanent Fury Fury.

Unfortunately, this build provides minimal Might Might and is reliant on being able to hit a target to generate Alacrity Alacrity. Though it has access to Guardian's powerful utility skills, each skill is a significant DPS loss, so Alacrity Willbender is a rather niche pick.
