Hey all guys! I’m the kind of guy that doesnt play Pve, but play exclusively PvP. I didn’t play for some months and now i came back to Gw2. The problem is that i think that there isn’t a big choice of build to use in pvp, i mean that there is only 1 build for class that works very well while the others are kitten or doesn’t exist tho. Can u suggest me a tank build? i mean a build that make u like immortal but with no damage, only sustain and def, no class preferences! Another thing, isn’t the guardian too op? I cant kill him in pvp, he spams traps as hell, has infinte sustain and block 4ever, can u suggest me how to counter a guardian pls? Thanks! Also if u have different builds let me know if u like, i tried to experiment various build but with no success. Maybe im the problem, but when i try to go full tank, everyone still oneshot me…That makes me feel really bad
Sorry for eventual grammatical mistakes.
PVP Builds...
Hey you should probably post about this in the pvp forum, you’ll learn a lot there. Many people share your opinion about the Guardian, the key is to use a ranged class, force him to use all his long-cooldown utilities and his virtues, then waste him. DH does not have good sustain, but usually kills his victim around the time he uses all his cooldowns.
Aaand now a mod moved it without leaving a note, making me look crazy. So for your questions:
1. Guard OP? Answered.
2. Perma tank? Probably a warrior with the tankiest amulet you can find, either that or engineer with tanky amulet. Warriors have enough blocks and interrupts for good sustain, engi can run around in circles and stay alive for pretty much forever.
That being said, there’s no real point to full tank builds. You need at least enough damage potential to push someone off a point long enough to capture it. Guardian is perfect since their traps are large and do a lot of damage, so if you want to bunker on top of a point then they’re good for that. If you just want to run around in a sPvP match doing no damage but also being difficult to kill, then you’re not helping your team. You can’t assume that you’ll always be in a 1v1 situation where the other person can’t kill you, soon enough one of their allies will come and then you’re dead, tank or not.
Plllllllllssssssssssss
