Guild Wars 2

Looking for a Guardian who aced this to offers tips and their build / traits.

won’t say i aced this, but this is how i ended up doing it. if you aim for the achieve, meatless murderer, ie Chomper doesn’t get any meat, it makes the difference between light and day.

Build:
20/30/10/0/10
Zeal II, anything you want
Radiance II, X, XI
Valor I
Honor -
Virtues I

Gear:
Gear was DPS focused. Mainly berserkers with a few soldiers armor mixed in, and mainly zerker trinkets weapons.

Weapons
Sword/Shield mainset; secondary i brought hammer but never ended up using it. so up top you’ll see i had 20 in Zeal, mainly for Scepter Power, but then i realized immobilize didn’t do anything to Chomper so i just chanegd the trait and didn’t want to respec. the power is nice to have anyways. now in hindsight, i would recommend maybe Zealous Blade (Zeal VII) so once you get your meats (and in the process deny Chomper), you can burst them both down with GS. binding blades and GS 3 could be useful too, more on this below.

Utilities
Bane Signet, Retreat, Judge’s Intervention

General strategy
so get in a party, or invite someone offline to party and call target on Chomper so your attacks will always mainly focus on him. i would just melee both of them and keep them close together with sword auto, blind them when needed or use F3 cause Strugar will CC you. then most importantly KEEP AN EYE on when and where he throws the meat. and just do your best to get to the meat before Chomper does. if in doubt, feel free to use bane signet to knock him down. (i had planned to use hammer’s KB or KD, but i feel charge ups are too long). shield is here for this purpose as well, if you need to, insta knock him back, and hit cancel as soon as the knockback happens so you’re not rooted in the animation of shield 5. use retreat as well to have swiftness up for the first piece of meat – this made a huge difference for me, psychologically i think lolll.

if Chomper happens to get ahead of you, use sword 2 or judge’s intervention and then your shield knock back if you haven’t used it yet. obviously, all the while non stop attacking the both of them. and once i got 4 – 5 meats, i killed off Chomper easily, achievement popped, finish off Strugar and fight finish : ))

i imagine GS 3 helps as well for mobility as well as AoE dmg and you can pre-cast binding blade and then when Strugar throws the meat and CHomper runs off, pull ‘em back in then you can casually stroll to get the meat. NOTE: i haven’t tested this myself, but i assume pulls should still work.

hope this helps. and good luck!! in the beginning, whenever i missed one meat, the fight would just go dowhill, which is why i said try doing the meatless achieve. it helps the fight in general a LOT.

be sure to check the Guardian forums too or post this in there if you haven’t already more more tips!

When the round starts use Retreat and Save Yourselves and maybe Symbol of Swiftness to give yourself the speed advantage. Pick up three meats so you get three stacks of the damage buff, and at that point spike down Chomper. I used GS for this spiking phase but other DPS weapons like sword might work. If you have three stacks of the buff don’t worry about Chomper eating the meat anymore because your damage output will be more than enough to kill him. Someone else suggested this strategy online and I failed this fight 20+ times, after using it I think I won after two of three tries. Good luck.

My gear is Knight’s armor, Berserker trinkets, and Knight’s weapons, the same gear I use for the FotM anchor build. Traits were a mix of offensive and defensive, I don’t remember, sorry.
