GW2. WvW Build. Celestial Willbender Roaming Build. Guardian World vs World.
Last Update: March 2024
Overview
The Celestial Willbender relies on a more sustained pressure rather than a burst oriented approach, but a burning condition burst is also possible. Celestial stats increase the duration of the many boons guardians have access to.
The main burst combo involves using sword 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 Pistols, use the skill 3 to drop the symbol on top of enemies and shoot through it with skill 4 or 2
Basic Burst: Sword 2 > Judge’s Intervention > Sword 5 > F1 > Whirling Light > Swap > Pistol 3 > 4 > 2
Alternative Burst: Sword 2 > Judge’s Intervention > Sword 5 > F1 > Swap > Pistol 3 > Whirling Ligh > Pistol 5 > 4 > 2

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
