2 Guardians Viable in the Same Group?
Yes this is viable… and the different boons they apply would stack with each other.
Thx for the fast reply! Sounds like this could be fun.
n/p. My main is a Guardian with over 700 hours on him alone.
Guardian’s are fun. FYI… get a Greatsword ASAP!
It is hands down the best weapon for Guardian (imho).
It’s far from optimal in pve and really not wanted if you can take something else. For WwW though, stacking guardians is the way to go. You want 1 guard for tpvp as well.
double guardian sounds -awesome-.

I used to think (build op, pls nerf) like you, but then I took a nerf to the knee.
Didn’t know if things stacked.
I think everything stacks, even symbols. The only thing you really lose is Aegis, because it stacks in duration and not intensity. So, if a bunch of guardians use their Aegis skills at the same time, you’ll get a really long lasting Aegis that will still only block one attack. That’s one thing to watch out for.
The other thing that I don’t think stacks is their F1 skill. I’m not sure how it stacks, if at all. I would guess that it might stack in duration, but I’ve never had a good opportunity to test it. So, multiple guardians popping their F1 skills probably won’t help any. But, for most other things, you shouldn’t have much issues playing with other guardians. So, basically it’s your Retreat, F3, and F1 which are likely to be crippled the most.
It’s far from optimal in pve and really not wanted if you can take something else.
Pretty much this for dungeons. 1 guard is all you need in a group. If played correctly it can apply aegis, reflects, stability and regen and cleanse conditions. This makes it great for a team, if it is by itself. Instead of a second guard an ele is usually really helpful for stacking might and other buffs you get from blasting. If you want more info on dungeon guard, go to the dungeon subforum. I don’t know much about WvW or PvP, so get information regarding thaybarea from other people more experienced
It can be nice in lvl 41-50 fractal, not necessary but a lot more forgiving.
My favourite parties are the ones comprised of 5 different professions.
But that said, parties comprised of 5 identical professions are also fun. (I was once in a 5 man Necro run through TA. We all decided to run MM. Soooo many minions!)
