Guild Wars 2

I just need some advise with my new guard.
i was thinking of
20/30/0/10/10 or 10/30/0/20/10
weapons SF/GS

How i see it is, in pugs the 10/30/0/20/10 will be better for might but in orginized groups 20/30/0/10/10 will be better

Would you use different weapons? or change the build?
Any opinions are helpfull

20 points in virtues can be really good situationally for AoE multiple condition removal, and once you get them, Virtues 25 is also good, specially for organized groups.

People usually avoid the 20 in Zeal with Sw/Fc – GS. the 5 % damage with greatsword isn’t worth it and you only have 1 symbol so the symbolic exposure is kinda useless.

If I were you I’d go with the 10/30/0/5/25 with the 25 in virtue you get 1% damage per boon (so the 5% you lost with GS is no longer a problem) you also get boon removal when using virtue of resolve, which is an instant cast 1200 radius 3 boons removal for the party (very nice) and if you don’t need boon removal (in alot of dungeon it’s useless) you can put unscated contender which give 20% extra damage when having aegis.

10 in honor is only good for shout and you probably won’t have alot of shout in your utilities.

You want to run Wall of reflection, Purging flame, Something shield of the avenger, Retreat.

It’s a hard build at first, but with the reflect/aegis you can pretty much do every boss without getting hit in dungeon (if your party is killing fast enough)

Very solid advice up top. Also a great thread for guardian pve dungeon:

Basically what Trice here says. Also, 20 in Virtues for Indomitable courage (being situational) and Virtue of resolve condition cleanse are quite nice to have access to.
