Greetings Ladies and Lords! I have been fluffing about creating my ascended armor for some time now and in the spurr of a intoxicated moment created myself three pieces of Wei Qi ascended armor (bad form, i do agree!) However, i want to rectify this error by getting an armor which would be of use to me as a guardian!

My play style is rather crude, almost barbaric as some would describe it (simply put, run in first, smashing things to bits with my hammer, and then look around!) and would love for some of those more versed in the ways of the guardian to give me a few points in the right direction when it comes to which stats would work best!

Thank you!

If your main focus is dungeons or fractals, I would suggest Ascended Berserker Gear.

If you don’t, then keep an exotic berserker set for that if you do dungeons/fractals at all, and craft whatever you want. Soldier, Sentinel (Your Wei Qi armor), or Knights is good for WvW and good enough for open world pve. Well, with the exception of anything that contains condition damage; that’s terrible on guardians. Don’t waste your materials on that.

In other words, if you don’t intend to dungeon or fractal much, you can complete the set you are currently doing.

I mostly wvw and rarely do any fractals, so I’m crafting ascended soldier armor while on the rare occasion I’m dragged into a fractal, I have my exotic berserker gear ready as well.

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

This is a very broad question, and you’re going to get a lot of different answers. When it comes to PvE, damage is king, it’s just the way the game was designed. So Berserker is going to be your best choice, if you don’t feel comfortable with Berserker, Knight is also decent.

WvW there are hundreds of different gear choices to go with. Soldier would be a safe middle ground. If you feel like you need more damage you can just go Berserker trinkets and weapons. If you want to be more support you can just go Soldier or Cleric trinkets and weapons.

The best advice I can give anyone, is just go to one of the many gw2 builders, and play around with it until you find something you like.
