Quick notes on the build

Incredible sustain, great defense, you're here to last in team fights. Dish out constant poke while healing your team as often as possible, pick off fleeing targets with the ult (pridwen + ult makes for a safe tower dive and great burst) or just the 1 (shield of regrowth passive is very handy).

For boots do as you like, you don't really need speed in joust and the ult and shield of regrowth makes you very fast already. But in conquest boots are recommended.

Also this is a joust build, it may work in solo lane, but you should focus on counter building when in solo.

Have fun with this Guan build!

Stone of Gaia isn't good. You need boots in there for conquest

It's stated in notes! And stone of gaia sustain isn't something to forget about.

Ah sorry, I glanced over the notes. However, I will stick by my comment, and the comments everyone else below made.

18% increased movement speed is hugh and does change quite a bit in the early game. Good luck trying to chase someone down or retreat from someone who has boots online when you don't. Sure Guan has movement options and shield of regrowth has situational movement speed, but they aren't enough.

thing with Stone of Gaia sustain is that it is going to get hit by anti heal, since people will be building that (if they are smart) to reduce the effect of your Conviction
