Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

I am looking for a good Orr farming build for my Guardian. It should have kinda balanced stats, can someone please suggest me the gearing options in terms of exotics (like carrion,knights, etc)? My traits are 10/30/30/0/0

I plan to go an all out berzerk guardian; is that a viable option or will I die too fast to masses of enemies?

Best Regards,
WS

It’s impossible to actually die in the open world unless you fall off a cliff or something. Just go full zerker.

yep pve open world zerker will do you best (as long as you know how to dodge). For dungeons i normally swap out a few bits for knights/clerics to help with the boss hits

Actually, Knights gear is best for farming for a Guardian. It ups your damage mitigation for better survivability against multiple mobs, while giving you good power and precision stats. You can supplement your missing crit damage from berzerker gear by slotting ruby jewels or divinity runes.

But an Altrusitic Healing build with Knights armor & weapons, and berzerker accessories is probably your optimal farming spec.

If your goal is farming, it’ll take you way too long to kill anything with knights gear and an AH spec. Plus AH isn’t going to do a whole lot for you if you’re soloing, and if you’re farming in a group you don’t even really need to be at the keyboard at all, much less have any specific kind of setup. Just equip a staff and one of those drinking bird thingies to press 1 for you.

When farming trash mobs, the difference between the damage output of Knights and Berzerker is almost negligible. At least in my experience. The damage mitigation when you have large groups of mobs hitting you, however, is a big difference.

That’s just been my experience. I kill things plenty quick with Knight’s gear when you factor in sigils and runes, plus berzerker trinkets. I agree with you about AH not helping much while solo, but it doesn’t hurt you either if you aren’t going to swap it out for a different trait.

If you go to Orr farming solo in full zerg gear, you are gonna have a bad time. Knights gear is more effective and you can solo a lot more mobs at once.

strongly disagree. post-nerf Orr doesnt pose much of a threat; use zerker gear and a DPS spec to make it faster and more fun (more risk!).

Coming from a full Zerk Guardian (30/30/0/0/10) I’d say that if you know when to change your skills/traits, you can’t die. I run with 12k HP and with Signet of Resolve, it’s like a full heal. I mainly use GS, Scepter/Shield, and use Signet of Resolve, any shout, and concentration, and Signet of Power. Elite doesn’t matter I don’t ever use it. Just make sure that you spam VoJ and have the 10% bonus to burning targets up all the time. It may be hard in events to get everything, so use ground targeting concentrations and staff and be useful too. I am currently running with all exotic armor, rare GS, masterwork Scepter/Shield, and what ever happens to be the best for my trinkets (I forget about them half the time). Also the best way to get the armor is CoF. Enjoy!
