Not as good as SPEAR double swords, can consider replacing SPEAR hammer with another style.

Still as good as ever and THE dps guard build at higher ratings. I disagree with Stygian, this isn't unplayable at all in fact it's quite popular in plat. Sometimes I have games with 3-4 Willbenders. Hardcountered by thief, holo, reaper? Sounds like skill issue my guy. The burst is really good and if something goes wrong there's still a bunch of movement skills you can use to reset fights.

Good noob stomper but that's all it is. Basically unplayable in plat2+ lobbies. Hard countered by any thief, vindi, holo, scrapper, DH, reaper which you will see 2+ of every single game in the current meta.

From-Space mobility & does everything. Great cleave and boons. Beware of things with multi-hit unblockable spam. But you should be able to take apart / kite just about anything in the game rn. Brawler relic makes this kinda nuts.

Now that virtues stack, this is again top tier build for anyone with fast hands. Signet of Resolve is also viable more offensive teamfighting option. Beats thief in 2vs2 and 1vs1 situations so can give you lot of control off points.

The best dps option guardian has. Currently maining it, won't lie sometimes I'm having a hard time but I always have enough damage and map presence to be relevant. Atm Plat 1 but plat 2 seems possible with it too at least for me who's somewhat average. Wish we had some resistance boon from somewhere maybe the heal, that's all I'd like to see improved, something to counter the weakness and blind spam.

Falls short compared to valor mediwb, both in sustain and overall damage, even with the loss of critcap, though still works as a non-worthless thief alternative

Still great, but the nerfs can be felt. The S+ tier damage and mobility used to compensate for its low sustain, so getting the sustain/mobiity nerfed (F2 losing a charge) AND then hitting the damage too made it lose some of its popularity. Still has great damage, but it's harder to play now and people are gravitating more and more towards other options like Herald.

I couldn't tell this got nerfed if it wasn't for me reading the patchnotes. Slap on the wrist at best, still 5/5, still top damage every game. Melts people as always.

This is a meta-defining build. No spec should have access to this much mobility, burst, and teamfight support - especially while having a low skill floor. Expect it to be nerfed in the next balance pass.

You all make me laugh rating this crap 4.8 hahaha This is the most broken spec of all EoD, brainless to play, insane low risk high reward. Voted bad by little guardian mains who don't wanna get nerf this hardcore carrying build. 10/10 damage 10/10 mobility Can take any spvp role on demand, 1vs1, roamer dps, team fighter, +1. Ape tier build which shouldn't be in the great section or even meta, should be Meta+++ Overpowered.

Great build for beginner pvp players. It doesn't require that much skill, so you can make more mistakes and get away with it. Sadly you have more mobility than a specter, more sustain than spellbreaker and let's not talk about it's ridiculous dmg. It's straight up overpowered and hopefully gets nerfed to the ground, because having 4 willbender in every ranked game (low plat elo) isn't fun.

Ridiculously strong teamfighter/roamer/+1er/sometimes even duelist. Imagine herald but a lot better. Massive damage, decent sustain, provides group condi cleanse and stab, incredible offensive and decent defensive mobility. This will be a meta DPS until balance changes happen.

Just tried this build for the first time tonight, i've been playing willbender in pve exclusively so i'm pretty familiar with its new skills. This build has high mobility, evasion survivability and damage output. Great build, it can and will be one of the best when mastered.

Silven gave this build 5 stars • April 2022
I believe this build will work its way into the current meta purely because of how customisable the weapons are and how well it gels with the meta shout guard + necros. It has high survivability and you can swap out the GS for mace/scep+focus depending on the enemy team comp. You can also keep whirling or change it for smite/SY. There's just so many different options on this I think you can build around your team and the enemy so that you're more effective. Other builds are too rigid to do this.

Has way more sustain than DH! Big damage big mobility and the stability access is great, even big stab for your teammates!
