Guild Wars 2

Hey all, since I’m tired of teams failing in certain fractals (imbued, colossus double sigil fight, etc) I’m trying to make a failsafe build to carry people in those fights.

So far I came up with this: http://tinyurl.com/a573x6s
Do you think it’s enough? I was thinking of getting AE instead of signet CD but I’m afraid letting SoResolve go would be a risk for my own survivability.

Hi Red Falcon,

That build looks too defensive. You’re also limiting yourself by using shield twice. There is no for sure ‘safe build’ to carry others. Try your best to coordinate with them. I’d suggest checking out the Paragon build. It’ll give you a strong defense, and you’ll also be able to DPS hard.

Good luck

EDIT: You know I just reread your post. Posted wrong build: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Kawsay-Guardian-WWW-Support-Healing-Bunker/first#post1482488

This build will carry your group. Only time I throw on a scepter for ranged is against Jade Maw and Ice elemental on the Dredge Fractal. I pretty much melee everything else.

When you get on really high levels (40+) I’d use the specific builds that are posted on the forums.

As Mrauls suggested, you could always try the Paragon build, but use all out cleric gear with saph orbs and jewels. While it won’t negate the bursting you see in some of the fract events, especially high levels, or so I’m told, it will help to carry the group by a lot. You’ll pour out lots of healing and be able to “tank” at the same time.

I just tested paragon build in the builder here: http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/guardian/?3|1.1c.h1e|0.0.0.0.0.0|1c.71j.1n.71j.1c.71j.1c.71j.1n.71j.1c.71j|1c.61.1c.61.1n.61.1n.67.1n.67.1c.67|0.5.u65b.u28b.5|0.0|e

It seems to give decent damage and high self-defense but I don’t see a lot of team protection in there.
I wanted to be full support aka perma protection and walls/shields of all sorts to reduce team’s damage not just me.
I don’t really care for damage because a Warrior can deal double that damage so as long as I have a Warrior or two in the team I don’t really need to deal DPS.
I just really want a wipe-saving build for those desperate situations so I can login my Guardian and save the day.

Check out this build then:

I’m going to try it out soon myself as soon as I get the koda tokens for sanctuary runes. Again, use Cleric gear for the extra healing.
