Still not a fan of the healing output but the build does see success in tournaments, when they eventually nerf mesmer spear, this build is going down with it, the weapon is so OP that it allows the build to act as a bruiser instead of a support, and it even won some duels in the finals on EU. Once that strength is gone, get ready for core guard meta to come back
old day build here too need update new . na eu plat rank all Invulnerability META like wb Just as disgusting . but if vs 5 spear chrono or 5 spear wb ill dodge chrono...
This is still the only support build I'm seeing in ranked even after all the nerfs. Brings a lot of value to the team and it's hard to shut down because so much of the support is instant or close to it, with lots of stability and quickness applications.
Everyone is coping. This build is still really strong at high level PvP but you pick spear over sw/shield now which adds a lot of damage to the build.
It's no longer that good unfortunately, the healing is underwhelming. It's like Anet wants to kill the variety in this game and make it dull and boring to death. Just pick core Guard like everyone else, because screw having fun and having options.
Edit: with the 08/10/24 update, the overall healing dropped from 20/30%. There is no reason to pick this anymore. Core guard is a lot better, and other supps are also better.
Still insane after the nerfs and very easy to play. Maybe the easiest support ever made. I'm especially loving the superspeed, makes this so much more survivable and it's funny to speedboost allies as they're chasing the enemy team. Like unleashing some rabid dog on the enemy team lol. Gravity Well can be a lot of value at times too but Time Warp is just such a good fire and forget ability, you can never go wrong with it. Shame the rifle portal doesn't have a longer duration or a more visible animation, would make this build even better.
Underrated this build at first due to the lack of a ranged rez or even rez traits, but the sheer healing and utility value makes up for it as demonstrated during the March mAT.
