GW2. WvW Build. Condition Dragonhunter WvW Roaming Build. Guardian WvW. Small Scale WvW Build.
Role: Bruiser 
The Condition Dragonhunter is a Guardian WvW build that uses Pistol and the Spear of Justice to pulse out tons of burning damage that can be unavoidable.
Blocking an attack will reset your F1 passive, making your next attack burn, but if your F1 is on cooldown you don’t have the passive. There are two approaches because of this. Try to land your F1 on the target because of the guaranteed burns from the tether. If you think you won’t land the F1, use blocks like the F3 and Focus 5 and keep attacking your target to trigger the burns while you wait for an opening.
Combine these two approaches by using blocks and attacks at first to bait your enemies’ cooldowns out, then when there is an opening try to land your F1 and get close to them to pulse the burning from Torch 4.
Skill Rotation
- Focus 4 > Pistol 3 > 2 > F1 > Focus 5 > Swap
- Sword 2 > Torch 4 > 4 > 5
Use your F2 to leap around and survive in between your F1 and Torch burst cooldowns, or use it to immobilize your target to ensure you land your burst. Use Judge’s Intervention and Sword 2 to reengage.

Hmm interesting, Can there be a pvp variant for this?
Question , any reason why i shouldnt pick amplified wrath and inspiring virtue?
Inspiring virtue is only strike damage, won’t count for condition and this build main damage is from Burning, plus do you really need the cleanse to survive. And amplified wrath damage is less than what you get from Might stacks.
I tend to like some bunker Condition builds and though Burning has the best damage, with only poison on weapon swap, you get cleansed easily. I’m going to try this with Celestial and Ritualist/Trailblazer trinkets, as you could get more damage out of the focus and sword.
If you think this build doesnt do enough damage with trailblazer, wait until you swap to celestial where you will do even less. Losing a chunk of condition damage which is your main damage source to gain almost no healing power benefit and some power stats for your weapons which will have no damage modifiers won’t feel great. Instead of swapping build you should try to bait cleanses by auto attacking or just leaving your F1 tether on the target for a bit before using your burst skills.
