Guild Wars 2

I thought I’d share with you guys a strategy that works really well for Guardians in WvW.

What you need is,

- A Greatsword
- Soldier Armor (you’re going to take a lot of hits)
- Judge’s Intervention
- “Stand Your Ground!”
- Meditation Mastery (20% CD reduction to meditations)
- Superior Aria (20% CDreduction to shouts)

Basically, as a guardian I hate it when two forces are fighting each other on a random land area and I have nothing to do besides dance with my staff. If I approach the enemy, they’ll just focus me and I’ll die.

This is what you do. Find a crowded spot. Use Judge’s Intervention. Hit “Stand Your Ground.” Use Binding Blades and follow it up with whirling wrath. You’ll be dealing a ton of AoE damage and they’ll have no choice but to focus you. Hopefully, your allies will realize what’s going on and swarm in to help you. This has worked on numerous occasions for me against NSP (although it can’t stop hackers).

Give it a shot. Its pretty fun when coward thieves start spamming all their movement skills to get away from you since they can’t accept the fact that a tiny asura is dealing more damage to them than all their burst moves combined and will probably complatin later on the forums about how we’re OP people flee.

This works much better with permeating wrath + supreme justice, check it out on the pack of test dummies in HoM, stacks like 10 seconds of burn using passive virtue only.

If you’re willing to put 30 points into virture, go for it. I’m more of a shout and buff person. I get the most out of Altruistic Healing and Pure of Voice with my build.

Try another strat, use chain of light > judge > whirling wrath one shot someone then run the kitten out. Preferably a squishy target. I have some clips doing this. Probably have to upload them up. Every time you teleport in, the enemy will fall back (range mentality: stay away). That opens up more space for your squad to slowly push them back.
