Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, i need a good dps and suviable build for my guardian for PvE and Later do Dungeons(when i reach the required level). my guardian is cuurently lv 22 and cannot do much dmg. Need help guys pls assist me. Thx

At lvl 22 you won’t do much damage in dungeons. Those are meant for lvl 30+. Its always a good idea to post your current build so folks can help.

wait what?! you want to solo dungeons with a lvl 22 guard??
Arah?

Champ solos I like something around 0-10-30-30-0 mace/shield+GS+bloodlust+100 pwr food or health regen food + superior sharpening stones + cleric or knight armor + berserker trinkets. The 10 in stats can be whatever, I just put it there because I like the +5 weapon hits with flame legion runes and added precision. But yeah, champs, vet karka, whatever…

ok dps, you said solo after all. dps is on my warrior, and that’s not a glass build either, but can’t stay up like my guard.

Haven’t tried to solo Arah though… might want to hold off on that a bit

My guardian was great at low lvls. One of the easiest to lvl up.
Get a GS/Hammer. Use the GS to dps/aoe and the hammer to defend.
I was running with full Power/Precision gear up to lvl 60 or more. Using traits for lower shouts CD, might and vigor on crit. Using mostly hold the line and save yourselfs with the sigil for heal and the one for dmg reduction.
A lot of people go for the blind on virtue of justice, but I find that its only good on trash mobs, and trash mobs are already no problem.
I could solo most group event bosses (melee ones, for ranged ones need to change for wall of reflection and the shield utility).
Usually I activate VoJ and SY, jump in with GS 3-4-5-2, use HtL for regen and some dodges for healing and avoiding main attacks. If I’m low or the oponent is doing some combo that I need to disengage, I dodge out, change to hammer and use hammer 3 to hold it. I can then use hammer 4 and 5 to keep it at distance or CC it a bit while I regen/heal or to remove stacks of CC imunity (hammer 5 can be great for that with smart kiting). When you feel safe to attack again, go back to GS and burst some more…

I tried other set-ups but found this to have better results regarding veterans and stronger mobs, while also beeing great for clearing trash.

At lower level’s i ran Power/Precision on Chest, Neck, Leg’s, and Ring’s. Had Vit/Toughness on Earring’s, Helm, Shoulder’s, Glove’s, and Boot’s. This let me have some damage while not being just super squishy. Although that gear setup requires level 30 i think.

EDIT: Also for weapon’s i used Power/Precision GS or Hammer as my main set, then Vit/Toughness Sword/Focus or Mace/Focus as my off set for defense. As for my trait build at 30 i think it was 0/0/5/10/5. Superior Aria is what i went with as a was a shout build at that point.

Yeah, while leveling up I mostly put points into strength (20 at the most), accuracy and toughness with vitality added into equipment apart from a few points into vitality traits. I used my GS a lot. It was pretty straight forward and easy leveling. At 60 I started to migrate to what I mentioned above since it was meant to be more of a dungeon build with target on dungeon bosses.

At lvl 22 I’d suggest 10pts in Honor for Superior Aria. Save Yourselves, Retreat and Staff give you almost full time Swiftness to travel.
At 40 go 20pts in Honor for 2H Mastery and run GSword and Staff.
At 60 try 30pts in Valor for Altruistic Healing. Staff and Hammer work awesome here.
At 80 find the weapon you like most and pick a build that supports it.

Try all weapons, each has its strengths and are viable.

Some good builds are
0/x/30/30/x for Survivability and Altruistic Healing (See the sticky on these forums)
10/30/0/30/0 for generic DPS

Guardians have a ton of build options, 500 hours on mine and I’m still exploring new builds.

GL n have fun
