Guild Wars 2

This is a fairly general question, so I’m sure it’s been asked before.

But.

If you build yourself right, is it possible to be a tank with Earth attunement, or is Earth attunement a “Hey, you’re dying. Use this for some extra survivability so you can gtfo and heal!” sort of thing?

I’ve always wanted a mage tank, and I was disappointed when Trion didn’t release a tank soul for Mages with Storm Legion. So don’t let me down, Forums! Otherwise I’ll have to give you all the cane and no one wants that. ;~;

You can build to be more tanky but you will lose some burst, i dont find myself sitting in earth very much with a non condition build. You should try a earth condition signet build. They are pretty good for tanking while being offensive.

+ you will still have to dodge as-well, you should also try out a sceptre guardian they are probably more in line with what you want.
