ok

why the 5 in valor?
if you invest in radiance line you should invest in valor fully, or losing synergy.
if you don’t care about crit damage, why invest 5 point there?

also, you take the right hand strength, but use weak one hand weapon and GS.
if you take one hand strength, you should build around sword or mace.

same with honor line, you use GS but dont take two handed mastery?
also pure of voice is not “that” good currently, it can be worth when it will work as intended.

it feels like you are trying to stretch yourself to do lots of things at the same time,
have high crit but low crit damage, use GS but on high CD, support and remove conditions from allies but no investment in boon duration while still investing heavy into shouts, trying to be tank with dolyak signet but have no toughness, use shouts AND signets effectively etc, etc

it is impossible to do it all,
at the best we can do two out of three,
we can DPS and support with one build, we can DPS and face tank with another build, we can soak and support with third build, but we cant have build that does all three at the same level. (also two handed tanking with hammer differs from one handed tanking with mace, just like GS DPS build differs from right hand single weapon DPS)

@Lalangamena- Good points sir and thanks for the suggestions, you were correct that its like a build that tries to do it all. I like to dps support and tank at the same time and keep being busy inside dungeons or fractals. I run on 2 kind of sets, my stats stacker set and my alternate boon/might set which pretty much stacks might on the team with 55% might duratin unbuffed with food.

Why the 5 in Valor? I just feel that Valorous defense-Activates when your health drops from above 50% to below 50%, is just too good to pass on even if I don’t like the Honor Trait line.

Radiance Traits have been oftenly ignored but with proper gearing it might be of really good use, Radiant Power-Damage is increased by 10% against foes inflicted with conditions, works wonders in sync with a spammable Justice and Right-hand strength.

As for the Two-hand Mastery I just have the feeling that on high level fractals i usually change weapons too often or stick to scepter+focus most of the time that i feel that the might buff is much useful on fights.

Here are my current stats(unbuffed) on this traits and I feel that somehow it works.

almost exactly the build Im running!
imo its smarter to avoid mixing 2h and 1h sets cuz u will pretty much lose 15% crit chance on one of the weapon sets cuz of the trait
I play pretty much WvW and Fotm so I use Sword and Scepter and running this build:

http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mccozmM9MmRNGmm0NRm0xax0MaqmMRq

I got 2,9k attack, 57% crit chance, 2,4k armour (remember SoJ gives u pretty much that doesnt show here), 17,7k HP (unbuffed ofc), 300 Healing power and 57% crit damage

Edit: if you wanna discuss guardian builds with 1h weps, feel free to /w me
Im the only guardian on deso who doesnt use GS.
