Guardian - Radiant Greatsword (PvP)

Mobility

• carries your mobility via . In combat you should be able to passively obtain a permanent uptime on this boon without much effort, but it's harder to do when roaming between capture points.

• Consider using and other Fury sources like meditation skills with low CDs to obtain some mobility even while out of combat.

• can add a bit of mobility too.

  • This skill brings you to a halt as it delivers its final strike. If you want speed and not damage, make sure to cancel the very end of the leap with a weapon swap.

Sword/Focus

• This is the defensive set of the build, but still has some hard hitting skills.

• The main source of burst damage here comes from . Note that the projectiles can be very unreliable in anything but melee range.

• has many uses: vertical mobility via teleportation, symbol for cleaving, to make an important skill miss, or a combo field which can be used for AoE cleansing by executing a blast finisher in it.

• is a ranged skill with great damage over time.

• is both an excellent defensive and offensive skill (more about that below). As far as defense goes, this can be used to block important attacks even while stunned. Always try to use it in a symbol (a Light field) for AoE condition cleansing.

Greatsword

• is the main burst skill in the build, make sure it lands - do an unexpected ranged burst with , or use it after pulling targets in with .

• When in combat, always try to combo in a Light field such as for . Few things to note when using this for mobility:

  • If you're OOC (out of combat), swap weapons just before the leap finishes in order to cancel the final part of the skill which would otherwise bring you to a halt.
  • In combat this can be used for jumping away from the fight to avoid damage. To do that simply just detarget (click anywhere on your screen that's not an enemy player) before using the skill, and make sure that auto-targetting is disabled.

• is useful even when the target has and thus cannot be pulled. The damage over time part of this skill is decent, and you could time it in a way that the target's stability runs out before binding blade does, allowing you to pull them in later. Note: the skill itself can be dodged, but once the blades are attached, you can pull targets out of any kind of evade frame! Last but not least, the blades seek out enemies even if they are ed.

Main burst combo (preferably executed from a safe distance):

1. Virtues-variant: If possible, have an active to gain the damage bonus from.
2. should be activated before the combo. Try not to get hit because you'll need it to explode for damage. Wait until only ~1 second remains of its duration then quickly proceed with the rest of the combo.
3. Weapon Swap (in combat this also triggers your sigils).
4. - start casting it from range.
5. (JI) to teleport to the target right before WW starts doing damage.
6. the moment you get into melee range in order to proc when playing with ). It's important that you cast this after JI, not before, because you want to drop the symbol from the proc right on top of your immobilized target.
7. Optional: to get rid of conditions like Weakness or just to squeeze in a tiny bit of extra damage.
8. Steps 5-7 should happen before the first strike from connects to the target
