Guild Wars 2

Hey all. I’m trying to put together a set of WvW gear for my guardian but I’m torn as to how to build my guardian. I’ll be primarily running Hammer and Staff and I’ll be using this guard for large zerg battles. I’ve heard good things about both PTV armor and clerics armor so I’m not sure which would be best. I’m also not sure whether to run PTV trinkets or knights trinkets for some extra crit (never a bad thing being able to actually do damage). I’d really appreciate any advice you experienced WvW guards could give me. Thanks in advance!

I’m running knights armour + weapons and soldier trinkets and soldier runes, its a pretty balanced setup; you have a pretty good healthpool and about 3200-3400 armour depending on your trait setup.
for traits I recommend 0 0 30 30 10 with AH and shouttraits/utilities.

Thanks a ton for the input! I was thinking of knights trinkets and PTV armor with soldier runes (since I can get a karma set without spending gold) so I wonder how that compares in dps/durability vs PTV trinkets and knights armor.

Also, how do you think 0-5-30-30-5 would compare to your 0-0-30-30-10 setup? I’m running triple shout so master of concentrations doesn’t really help me. 5 in radiance would let me f1 aoe blind which seems more useful. Any thoughts?

0/5/30/30/5 is at the same level as 0/0/30/30/10, is just a matter of preference. I prefer 0/5/30/30/5 with triple shout, but if you go with Santuary the last option is better.

I rly like the extra 25% duration on retaliation, thats why I have the 10 in virtues =)
