If you look in the correct section you'll see the GF builds.
The AoE on cleave I haven't found to really be necessary in PvP. Convenient at times, but too situational to consider using over Crushing Surge. The only other consideration is 5% deflect vs 10% faster cooldowns. If you are going with a squishier guided missile burst specced GF, you "might" want to go with the faster cooldowns. If you are going survival geared, 5% deflect all the way. Plate Agility os the more versatile if you have both sets of gear.

Most of them are buried and a little outdated though. Yours is pretty much up to date and spot on for anyone wanting a PvP Tank GF. There really needs to be an updated version of the burst spec. I know Ayroux runs (or the last time I saw him he was) 2pc HG/KC, as do I on my GF, instead of Timeless which was once all the rage. I saw one guy running a higher regen version, using youth blues in accessory slots, though I think if you want to go high regen, your guide is the better way to go. HG/KC is too squishy to really rely on regen. Better to specialize all the way in my opinion to better fill a role on a team.

Or The Hzarn build?
2pc HG/KC give a bit excessive recovery and defense. Scroto's regen build is pure bunker as in guarding base 1 v 1 no one can kill me build. So it can be situational.
And the problem with HG/KC is that it offers no deflect, in high lvl play deflect is amazing to have, eventually GF have to be tanky first before considering any kind of burst, and u will never burst down someone unless u have p.vorpal and u hit ur whole rotation and all crit. Pug game is different though, I can put on my timeless hero set and still stomp people.
Goes with SF or Negation on the armor and Vorpal or Bronzewood on the weapon...
The Elite PvP GF's like Hzarn , RabidV2 ,Walker and etc. are using this build becouse not only that its tanky enough but it also has really good offensive qualities
Deflect softcapped - 1800+
Defense softcapped - 3700+
Around 1400 ArPen
1200Regen - Depends of the belt
1700 Critical - 20.5%
3800 Power
The bad things about it are
Low recovery
Low Power
Low ArPen
Low hp ( about 2k less then the 2KC/2HG version )
But hold ur horses becouse the new update with the game-braking artifacts is coming and alot of new builds will pop so this build will drop out
I believe that is call Hzarn build perhaps haha?
Where are you guides?
Any links handy?

Not sure , its very old to be patented by someone....
Im not using it personaly but i think its balanced
Hzarn has been playing GF longer than myself, I think its fair to say its his build. I have not seen anyone running anything close to it until recently when people started asking for his build. Along with his feats, I now see tons of GFs with his exact gear layout as well.
* TWITCH * YOUTUBE * MY GUIDES *
I understand how powerful deflect is. My GWF is full PvP tank geared with regen/deflect. I originally tried to run my HG/KC geared GF as a hydrid of damage and survivability, but after seeing what WTFproned (Ayroux) could do, I went full ArPen/Crit with it and haven't looked back since. It's not a tank, but more of a guided missile build. I have been blown up by TRs and CWs that catch me out of position, but have done the same thing to them in return. Even if nothing crits during an encounter rotation, I can still rip off 3/4 of the life of most TRs/CWs. With good team timing with another TR or CW, even sentinel GWFs can disappear in a flash. I ripped off an 18K Bull Rush the yesterday with debuff assistance from a CW, and I had forgotten to reslot trample the fallen from running skirmishes.
Timeless can't match HG/KC in this role, because it relies on building crit instead of having it ready to go with the first hit. If they go crit, they have no armor pen. If they slot ArPen, they still won't match HG/KC for resist ignore and be stuck relying building it.
Now I haven't seen Hzarn's build on the forums. Maybe I missed it. I know of at least 1 high level PvP GF that runs HG/KC like I referred to earlier. I am playing on teams a rung below Lemonade Stand/Complaints Department/EoA/Enemy Team A teams. But I know at my level of PvP it works very, very well.

I have seen many people with Spider helm and HG/KC but different boots.
However i dont argue on that but the HG/KC combo has been used way before
I admit I was running 2pc HG/KC until I met Hzarn :P And I believe he is the first one I seen that runs this build after the stalwart nerf.
Hzarn should have kept his build more secret, now more GF learn to gear like that instead of their Timeless hero lol
Hzarn never gave away his build on forum or such. But if u do play close to that circle u see each other's gear or talk about it.

No doubt deflect play a huge role in PvP but keep in mind ArPen does also.
So if u decide to go futher with one and less with other stat , is up to you.
Keep in mind the GF got some amazing feats on Protector and Tactician path , with unfortunetly only 10 points to play with.
My personal choice is 5%Deflect, 2AC= 1% dmg resistance and 3/5 Fight On ( with 1600 recovery my LS is on 6.2sec )
Crushing Pin is really op feat but since i run high ArPen and got a Pvorpal i dont really feel lack of dps. Its really unreasonable to lose that 5% deflect and in PvP you get the bonus 10% from Crushing Pin only with 2 Encounters...
Are u sure Trample the Fallen even work? On my own test I found it to have no effect in all case. I suspect it does not work with Crushing Pin for some reason.

I haven't parsed it, but I do remember wondering why I wasn't quite getting the same damage numbers yesterday, so it seems to be working to me. Hard to test since target dummies don't go prone for me.

You can't test Trample on Target dummy's only on mobs/players as the target has to be CCed. Easiest way to test is to feat Battle Trample and have a CW entangle a target and then hit them with an attack. You'll see the dmg increase from trample & battle Trample proc.
So I did we try in PVP premade have a cw to freeze or et, also try on mob with 0 armor pen and full armor pen
none of my test indicates any dmg bonus from Trample the Fallen, I only have the 10% bonus from Crushing Pin.
