omi_khan4901: Pretty fun build, a lot more self sustain than required imo haha but hey its open world so anything works. Also, if you use the new pirate queen relic from Shipwreck Strand mastery, since all of your util skills can have defiance break, you can pretty much upkeep both alacrity and quick on open world :)

lilveeman: I modified Valluns build and found a really fun solo build that does a ton of burst and has fantastic sustain. Weapons are Spear/Greatsword.

My armor is full Valkyrie and trinkets/backback are Diviners for the boon duration.

My spear has superior sigil of celerity and Major rune of Celerity for 11 secs of Quickness every 20 seconds. My Greatsword has Superior sigil of Rage and Force.

With elite Feel My Wrath and Radiant Justice (F1 skill) you get permanent quickness with little effort.

Relic: Relic of the Weaver

Traits are:

Zeal 2-2-3

Radiance 1-3-3

Luminary 1-3-2

Utilities:

Resolute Stance (Heal)

Piercing Stance

Sword of Justice

Stalwart Stance

Feel My Wrath

This build has crazy burst and survivability. It also easily sustains 20 vulnerability similar to the Dragon Hunter. When using the Forge, always use the Hammer last so you get the 10% damage multiplier plus 15% from Empowered Armaments. Piercing Stance will also give you 20% multiplier thanks to the relic so timing your burst skills with these active hits like a truck!

ciiinno: Best class in the entire game period, easy to play and hard to master, flashy and edgy, blue VFX jumpscaring every 0.2 seconds, pure unfiltered guardian aura, we ALL agree to this

bug601: Sad

Grim_the_Clown: Did they forget to unstuck the forge from the player… it just looks and feels awful that it’s stuck to the player so literally. Why not have it move with the player without being stuck, like evoker pet… it just looks ugly currently…

adyantotrinugroho4469: Wew what's your outfit? Looks lit

MaTe-du2lw: I still think its a stupid boring class but if u like braindead smashing buttons and stuff dies and u dont. this elite works . it can even be fun and relaxing

odin13th76: Didnt like it in beta, still dont like it now. Like the utilities and elite, but its the f4 that kills it for me. Always felt it should be similar to firebrand but with weapons. Like f1 summons the hammer with 5 unqiue hammer skills, f2 summons staff with more dedicated healing options, f3 summons sword and sheild with more unique skills. Now that you mentioned heat mechanic that also sounds like a better idea then what they did. I'll probably just use it as alternative heal option but we'll see. Im stubborn and have barely played anything that isnt dh lol same with my weapons gs/scepter focus and only rarely hit my weapon swap button lol.

KidDynamite22: The Luminary went from close to the bottom of the list I was looking forward to to competing with Evoker for the class I want to main through VoE, the glow up it got was fantastic, easily my favourite Guardian spec.

BismarRamadhan: This the the best explanation video about gw2 class in all of youtube imo, keep up the content my friend. Salam dari Indonesia

Alexander-d9p8n: looks like a good support class lol

DoseonCJ1: Kindda sad they don't put condi option to Luminary I do think they can adjust some trait to make it fit in. So Luminary can be versatile Elite spec option for GD.

MonicoAlejandroGonzalezMendo: This is an awesome way to hop in the Luminaire class, kkep up the good work, i love what you do and will be here supporting,!

oliverdevega: I was looking forward to this

yashizuko: Very useful video for knowledge, Its 8 years i have been waiting for another interesting guardian spec since POF firebrand, this (again ) isnt it i feel, to me luminary feels like a shout guardian with extra steps, generic without "something different" in it

schwaahly: Seems like one of them 500 APM Elite Specs

TheSometimeAfter: Would love to test this out but the shadows update tanked my FPS something rotten.... :/

xyr3s: there are no builds i can find any where. so i hop in forge, virtue 3 -> radiant sworc x2 -> virtue 1 -> radiant hammer x2 -> utility skill that pops weapons around you -> dam absorb shield utlity -> gs 4 -> gs 2 lol.

Dregnel: The spec feels good and fun although on the side of a lil high apm.

Only problem i have is that the autoattack aint auto, and if you turn on autocast it turns off when you swap luminous armament or get out of forge. The basic attack doesn't "overheat the forge" nor add to the cooldown, why autottack isn't auto?! XD

At least that how it worked for me yesterday, Is it a bug or oversight?

7WaZaBi: Not a fan of face rolling and then end on Hammer

seems not well designed.

It should be more rewarding for picking a weapon and sticking with it

Like when you enter the forge you pick a weapon and then it becomes a full-on 1-5 skill like elementalist summon weapon

RoachRecruit: I used spear/greatsword dragon hunter, would there be a build for luminary with these weapons?

Fettucine-us9pz: lemme hit already
