Guild Wars 2

I’m level 80 charr guardian and I was considering which type of armor wear. I want something that will give me enough toughness and vitality for good survivalibity, but also gives me good atack power. Generally speaking something balanced. I was thinking between mixed set of Knight’s and Soldier’s armor, weapons (mine is greatsword) and jewellery and Soldier’s armor and weapon with Berserkers jewellery. Which one is better?

Monks focus can be traded out for AH, if you use this build along with Superior Sharpening Stone and Plate of Roast Meat with Braised Leeks, you get pretty good sustain damage and high survivability.

Thx helps a lot
Ive got another question – which way of getting armor is the best? Crafting (now i have 249 weaponsmith nad 237 armorsmith) or buying?

Well to get Soldier gear you could run AC, you could get a whole set in 2-3 days depending on how many times you do it but on average if you do every path 5 time you’ll get about 300 plus Tear, or you could buy it from temple merchants for 42,000 karma a piece.

If you use full Soldier’s you are gonna lack of crit chance, and you need it to get constant Vigor for dodging and on-crit Sigils. You also waste that 30% extra critical damage from 30 points in Valor trait line. I found Knight’s armors/Soldier’s trinkets/Beryl jewels/Precision runes gives good Power/Prec/CritDmg ratio and Toughness/Vitality ratio. If you want to test your stats for the ratios, check this link from reddit.

You can blind your nearby enemies and get 3 stacks of Might (+105 Power and Condition Damage) every time you kill a foe. This is really good for GS build because you want to spin in the middle of a mob. One dead foe equals to another AoE blind and stacks of Might. IMHO, 5 in Virtues trait line is great for you and your teammates.

Runes of Lyssa gives enough additional precisions to the build and it adds another great Condition Removal to Meditation build.
