Guild Wars 2

This is more of a personal build, wanted to make one myself without following other builds and was made to suit my playstyle of
(Survivability>Dealing Damage Support>Support) also lazy to change builds between WvW and PvE dungeons :P

Its still in its process of getting there and I feel it can improve but beyond that I like it.
Anyway heres my build, oh and this is my first build related post, so bear with me if I miss anything out or something like that

15/0/25/30/0

Zeal – trait VI (Spirit Weapon Mastery)
Valor- trait VI (Retributive Armor) and VIII (Glacial Heart)
Honor- trait III (Writ of Exaltation), X (Writ of Merciful) and XI (Pure of Voice)

Gear:
-Weapons that I often mainly use in some to all situations:
Greatsword – P/T/V- Superior Sigil of Bloodlust
Hammer – P/T/V – Superior Sigil of Restoration
-Weapons I switch the greatsword with when against one or a few number of enemies:
Sword – P/T/V Superior Sigil of Accuracy
Shield – P/T/V Superior Sigil of Hydromancy

-Armor, the only set I got ._. :
Mix set of P/T/V (Chest,Legs,Head) and Knights (Shoulders,Gauntlets,Boots) with Superior Rune of the Soldier

-Trinkets:
Guild Defender Backpack of the Berserker
Beryl Orichalcum Earring of the Valkyrie
Beryl Orichalcum Ring of the Valkyrie
Emerald Orichalcum Earring of the Berserker
Ruby Orichalcum Amulet of the Berserker
Nightmare Coil (P/T/V) with Exquisite Ruby Jewel

-Skill slots:

Shelter – for its tanky blocks and decent enough heal

Bane Signet – for its knockdown mainly and its pretty sweeet power

‘Hold The Line!’ – for its protection and regen, and Pure of Voice and Soldier Rune condition removal

Spirit Sword – to help get some heat off of me and have some DPS going, plus I love this thing, even if it does suck sometimes I just like playing it.

Renewed Focus – for its invulnerability to get out of sticky situations and recharges virtues, I don’t usually use virtues, only use Virtue of Resolve and Virtue of Courage when the situation demands it i.e low hp and shelter’s on recharge.

And I know symbols, spirit weapon, and shouts, a lot to go for, but like I said, its suits me. I mean by (Survivability> Dealing Damage Support>Support) is that I’m getting hit but not hard enough to easily kill me in one burst or so and returning some decent enough hits back, and in return help my teammates out i.e boons, reviving, damage support.

And I don’t know what the Guardian Community thinks of this whether its considered to be too glass cannon or too bunker, in my experience its been working pretty well, been able to hit hard and tank a bit at the same time, but I would like to know if I could further improve this build without making it too glass cannon-ish and not too tanky nuclear bunker-ish, but towards being in between or close to in between the fine line of both. I mostly WvW, and so to speak born and raised in Tier 8, so being in a group is almost a must for me. Don’t usually zerg so much.

Here’s my stats, oh I got around 21k hp just if you guys wanted to know.

I’m too lazy to focus on all the small things that seem pretty weird, but stopping 5 trait points short of AH? That does not make any sense. Oh, and if you do dungeons with that, I pity your group mates – no damage, bad support, mediocre long-term survivability.

I did go AH before, went more of a tanky business last time. But felt lackluster of damage at the time.Just wanted to get a little damage in and try something without AH just for the sake of trying something different I guess. Maybe I changed it a bit too far? I wasn’t exactly going for high crit in the first place, I dunno, from my experience both dungeons and WvW. It works fine for me. Haven’t played anything outside of my guardian so I don’t really know how much big damage could be considered big. Maybe a few more test runs would seal the deal. Meh, opinions are opinions. So what do you suggest ? As the title suggests I would like to build this build better.

5 Points out of Zeal into Valor for AH, change Glacial Heart into something that’s actually useful, general advice. Exchange all PVT stuff for zerker or at least knight, if zerker is too squishy for you, to lift that build to acceptable levels in dungeons while retaining some of the things you seem to like (although Bane Signet and the Spirit Sword are pretty bad utilities, tbh).

Well, thanks for the tip. Maybe I’ll wait around for more responses, ya know, check everything out before deciding.

i dunno, your power is good but crit chance is way too low but at the same time you have lots of health.
stats wise i think i still prefer the ever so popular 0/5/30/30/5 AH build
