Guild Wars 2

im new to the game XD and want to get into pvp since thats the only real reason i play and i was wondering if sword and bored is good in this game ( since thats what i like to role ) expect for wow

should i role gaurdian or warrior

Guardian uses sword/sh for both medi & symbolic.

Warrior uses mace/sh or axe/sh these days.

Rev, which is a heavy class uses sword/sh also.

As far as what to play, warrior is not in a great place rn. Its got high damage & good sustain, but is currently overnerfed & is an underdog. Guard & Rev are both in a good spot, with Guard being high damge good sustain, low mobility, & rev being high mobility high damage & good team utility. Guard is going to be easier than rev for a new player, especially when facing condi builds.

None of these builds are your typical WoW tanks tho. If you want something warrior like & tanky, play engineer. It uses a hammer & is crazy hard to kill.

All builds can be found here

Oh, & you might get banned for that username, so GL lol

Right now the meta builds that use sword + shield are:

Guardian https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Dragonhunter_-_Meditrapper
Revenant https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Herald_-_Power_Shiro
Mesmer https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Chronomancer_-_Chronophantasma_Shatter

Warrior can also use sword shield, but it isn’t a terribly common combo.

I run dual swords on my mesmer. I think it’s amazing. sword/sword and sword/shield in the wep swap.
