Summary
Balance of sustain and damage with zerg support through healing and condi-cleanse/conversion. Designed to be used mid-long range. Still viable following stupid mortar nerf.
Stack might with HGH + sigil/rune strength (use Elixir B + toolbelt, Elixir gun 4/5 + toolbelt, Mortar 5) - you can maintain 25 stacks.
Cleanse + Convert Conditions through traits + elixirs/elixir gun/healing turret.
Heal directly through healing turret, elixir gun + traits.
Heal through waterfields - mortar 5 + healing turret - 2 blasts from mortar toolbelt, 1 from shield 5, 1 from EG 4, 1 from healing turret detonation.
3 stacks stability through elixir B toolbelt + stunbreak EG toolbelt.
Passive boosts from mecha legs, protection injection etc
FAQ:
Why not elixir H? - not required for might stacks, you can maintain 25 without it and medkit/healing turret are vastly superior.
Why not Flamer for stability? - you get 1 stack every 3 secs, which is not perma-stability in WVW like a lot of people are saying, in that it will be useless if you get caught by an aoe bomb with more than one cc. Plus you have to invest in firearms which is otherwise not that useful unless you are playing a condi build. This build at least gives you 3 stacks from toss elixir B in addition to a stunbreak from healing mist, which might allow you to survive a bomb. As before the patch, you will still be relying on guardians for the majority of your stab.
What about WVW roaming? - run a standard rabid condi build for this, enjoying facerolling.
