Q:
raid build for guard?
Raids a not casual friendly.
Having said that, you can still PUG them if you so desire.
To pug raids you are still going to need the proper gear and the proper build to get invited into one, as pugs would usually require you to link your gear and raid items to prove that you have killed particular bosses before. That is going to be hard for you especially if you are not experienced.
And to top it off you’re playing a guardian, which is useless except for one of the bosses, where groups usually need a dragon hunter with hammer for permanent group protection aoe.
-No pugs are going to be willing to take you
-No raiding guilds are going to take you
Bottom line, you will not succeed in raids as you are right now. You will need to change classes or find yourself a noobie raiding guild to join, as established PVE guilds already have their rosters optimized and stuff.

Stop lying to him with your own negative opinions! Raids are casual friendly as long as you are quick to learn! As he said the other parts of the game are too easy for him he might be a very quick learner in pve! Also stop trying to phrase the entire raid community in your own wicked words, raiding guild will take a guard, pugs will take a guard too so just stop. He is just asking about using a guard in raids and it certainly is viable with hammer, that’s all you had to say. Geez people like you should keep your own thoughts to yourself, trying to corrupt a new player interested in raiding with your twisted words!
Since when do pugs usually require you to ping your gear and trophies to be able to raid with them? I’ve been in quite a few successful pugs and even created a few pug groups of my own and I’ve nvr asked that of anyone. At most I would ask what build is he running and what he can do, after that I judge based on his/her skill lvl when we begin raiding. I might also ask about his/her experience raiding but I will take them on their word. If they are lying it would show in gameplay.
And to OP guards are nice to have in raids and especially in sab now where 1 or 2 hammer guards will benefit your group quite nicely! Who know future wings might also require more stuff that guards excel at! Atm you are better suited to running a hammer guard in current content^^ or dps if you want:D any class can dps if played well. I suggest googling abit about some hammer guard builds for raids, and a condi guard build for dps^^

Actually guardians are quite pointless for the protection as well since revenants can keep up permanent protection for the entire group.

However, for a rev to do that, he will give up ALOT of party dps, a guard however dont. So all in all, it is better to bring a guard for it (unless you use a mesmer or necro or ele to do this naturally).
All in all, guard is fairly so so for the first 2 raid bosses. So there is not really a reason to bring one, however, you can bring one and it will not b a problem.

No, it’s still pointless to bring a guardian because you only need protection for the last 25% of the boss, and sabetha is not at all a dps check, so the revs can give up that dps easily for just that part. Also an ele can keep up perma protection as well.
