Beeeeen waiting ageeeees for this man, you don't disappoint!!

[@Volie]

Yeah its been awhile, hopefully next one isn't too far away haha. Bless

[@mezzohmix2026]

Nice JI stomp on Vaporform in the end 👌

[@vtyumi3358]

Sheeeeeeeeeeesh 🥵 🔥 willbender meta confirmed?

[@Volie]

Its probably the most fun spec - idk bout meta tho haha

[@ApostleThe344]

No

[@aaronrobinson2745]

Beeeeest guardian NA! Thanks for the build sheet! How are the buffs to Willbender working out?

[@Volie]

I think that's going a little far but bless mate! Buffs feel great - the f2/f3 CD reduction is huge. Honestly tho hammer buffs are the best thing haha

[@ZaShaloc]

Nice vid Volie! The spec looks squish but fun. The new utils not worth it?

[@Volie]

Thanks mate! It has a surprising amount of sustain but yeah definitively more squishy then like a core guard. Some of them are alright - Flash Combo and Whirling like are probably the better of them. Rolling Light and Heel Kick are fun but probably other utils are better. Lets not talk about the Elite xD

[@Agriope]

Willbender looks like actual 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Volie]

Yeah its crazy fun! Really enjoying it so far

[@Agriope]

@@Volie Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[@asdasdasdasda8899]

tempted to practice to get good with willbender and your build looks good to start with. Any advice xD ?

[@Volie]

Some things that i noticed are to really try to not overlap your Virtue buffs, especially your F2 - The regen/Alac or even just the heal is huge try to aim to have it up for most of the duration before you use your F1 or F3. Avoid using f1/ Sword 5 to engage on targets that can daze/interrupt you, you're locked in the animation and make an easy target. You're not a bruiser, try to go in burst then kite around but try to keep the aggression on kinda like how a rev/thief plays - you have great mobility so abuse it. If you want something closer to Core guard to start - Valour/Radi/Willbender with GS is a really solid build with great sustain. Other then that its just basic Guard things like using your virtues before your Renewed Focus.

@@Volie after ive been playing this build for a few weeks, i wish it have a better burst (maybe i am used to DH trapper too much). The dmg isn't bad i just had a hard time trying to solo burst ppl. Anyway i still prefer this build to Medi or Cele wb tho. Love the juicy boons this build can provide xD.

[@Volie]

@@asdasdasdasda8899 Yeah DH Trapper burst will always be the best for guard. I just updated the Radi/Virtues DMG build on my build page. It has a solid burst -> you can S5-S4-swap-GS2-F1. it downs squishys and put a ton of pressure on anyone other then people stacking toughness haha. It does lose the boon uptime for more of a burst.

[@lorenzo501]

Kill Em With Teh Mighty CHICKEN FOOOOTTT!! :p **insert blue flame explosion** hm or should I just say 'bird feet' XD eh, why wouldn't there be a mighty chicken god, you know..

[@Volie]

Great now everytime I use F1 I'll see a chicken's foot. Thanks! Hahaha

[@lorenzo501]

@@Volie Hey, I'd say it's a proper coping mechanism to have. And lets not be racist and assume it can't be some sort of ultra mighty god chicken from the uber dimension 0396 ;3 But u can call em skinny dragon foot markings if u want, whatever

[@sonork]

Good shit Volie! :D

[@Volie]

Thanks mate!

[@tomekc1113]

Great!

[@Volie]

Thanks!

[@Desired70]

Volie the weeb out here🤣

[@Volie]

really gonna call me out like that, bruuuhh

[@jpperformance86]

Was wondering why you choose the signet over whirling wrath?

[@Volie]

Opps that's just the wrong build. I normally run JI, Stand your ground and Whirling light. its been updated. Bless

[@saintsyn2909]

Toxic gamer is toxic :3

[@Volie]

At least i don't play FA lol

[@neoliticus2199]

Like it but not a fan of this build for willy

[@Volie]

Yeah you already mention that 2 weeks ago lol. I do have 3 builds on my build description, one of those might work for you.

[@neoliticus2199]

Bunch of bronze noobs who give plenty of free cast, this is not viable build..

[@Volie]

The build works great for me, if it's not working for you I can give you some tips :). Or if it's too difficult you can play Cele. Might want to rewatch clips tho - there's Silver or above in each clip, not that rank really means anything.
