GW2. WvW Build. Celestial Firebrand Roaming Build. Guardian World vs World.
Last Update: September 2023
Overview
The Celestial Firebrand is the ideal guardian build for most situations because of its great sustain, mobility, diversified damage sources, and wide array of control effects and utility. Despite being a melee build, it has quickness access and pulls to be able to land it’s damage. Reflects and other boon sharing capabilities can be provided to its allies, making it not only great for solo but also group play.
Synergy
The sustain of the build mostly is passive from regeneration, the constant resolve passive, and altruistic healing constantly triggering from all the boon output. Also the sigils of cleansing and energy will trigger on swapping tomes, so you can decide to stay on the Greatsword if you need more sustain or Axe/Torch for more damage, and swap the tomes to trigger the sigils.
Playstyle
Use the CC from either the Greatsword 5, Axe 3, and Justice Tome 3 to set up combos. Place down a pulsing damage AoE like a symbol or the Justice Tome 4, then pull enemies back into the area, then use the Heal skill for quickness and burst them with the Torch 4 or Greatsword 2.

Any alternative weapons for torch ?? Not a big fan

Traveler maybe, but Fireworks are cheap enough already
