GW2. WvW Build. Celestial Willbender Roaming Build. Celestial Willbender WvW. Guardian World vs World.
Last Update: November 2024
Role: Bruiser 
The Celestial Willbender is a guardian WvW roaming build that relies on a more sustained pressure rather than a burst oriented approach, but due to fast burning application and hybrid weapon options, decent burst damage is also possible.
The main combo involves using the Sword 2 and 5 abilities to get into melee range and Immobilize, then use the F1 to activate the justice passive and then land the Whirling Light, swap to Pistol/Pistol, use the skill 3 to drop the symbol on top of enemies and then use Pistol 4 to get huge burns while they cannot dodge. Afterwards you can pressure them with the Pistol 2 and Pistol 5.
Basic Combo
- Sword 2 > 5 > F1 > Whirling Light > Swap > Pistol 3 > Pistol 4 > 2
Use the F3 and F2 to stun break or cleanse conditions in between your combos, but try to save the F1 for when you can immobilize enemies in it. Dodging also applies alacrity and regeneration to give you your cooldowns back faster and get more healing over time. Don’t hesitate to use your cooldowns as they will come up faster and help to stall for time until your next combo.

Is this build less dmg and more sustain then the radiance build ?
They’re both radiance, but this is more hybrid so it has more sustain yes
Love the build ! Is there an alternate food that you would suggest . I find myself forgettign to dodge alot lol
Can the meditation build work with celestial or only virtues
I wouldn’t do that. Meditations scale poorly with healing power whereas regeneration scales well with it. The design choices were very intentional to the synergies. If you have some constraints that you haven’t listed, you can play what you want. It’s just not optimal to me.
Will this build work good with GS instead of sc/t?
just go with the power build if you want GS
What runes can i use intead defender?
I use Durability instead of defender and it worked well if its defense you want. But like the build says balthazar is also great for more offense. Would recommend scepter over mace in both situations
Wow new build, thanks dear Jen
