Guild Wars 2

Heya! I’m a fairly fresh 80, and as I’ve decided to try and make guardian my main, this is the first time I’ve experienced end game and the things that go with it. So I started out using your classic AH 0/0/30/30/10, which I enjoyed. Then I tried a build similar to Healway, except it was 0/15/0/30/25, which I also enjoyed. However when I played one I kept wishing I had certain aspects of the other one. So this was my try at frankensteining together those two. (I only wish I could have Pure of Voice instead of Purity!) I plan on trying to use this in WvW and PVE.

I didn’t do anything with the gear in the build editor since it’s in PVP. I’ll change some traits and weapons around depending on what I am doing, of course. This is what I thought I would try in solo and small group WvW. As for gear I recently bought myself a set of exotic clerics as I thought I was going Healway at time. I was going to get three runes of the water and the monk with clerics jewels etc. This build has less base healing power than Healway though, and as I’ve heard healing power scales poorly should I flush my clerics down the toilet and get something else? If so, what?

Any help at all is greatly appreciated!

if you go healing power , you go selfless daring

I wouldn’t say flush it, but healing power scales poorly with everything except, as Zackie stated, selfless daring. Honestly, I’d take 5 out of Virtues and put it into Honor. There are several traits in the master tier of Honor that are very useful and can be interchanged for various situations.

And… am I the only guardian who hates “Save Yourselves?” I feel it really does nothing, especially in a group setting where getting boons should never bee an issue. The only advantage I guess is being a stun breaker, but that can be accomplished using a meditation such as JI, which has a lower cd, is also instant-cast, and has better utility. I would only say that for a wvw guardian your build lacks some useful cc. You have shield 5 knockback and gs 5 pull, which are both on long cd. In small groups, cc is very important, so maybe think about carrying a hammer too (3 sources of cc!). But, as always, play what you enjoy and you’ll be a better player because you enjoy it.
