Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been spending a while on the forums trying to get to know this game better and I think I’ve come up with a build I want to go for with my guardian. I don’t know if it’s already used or if I’m missing a lot and its actually really bad. It’s mostly based off of things I’ve read and YouTube videos. The basic premise is an AH build except you have 30 in virtues to get the most duration out of your boons and for Power of the Virtuous. I have the staff because I believe it best compliments AH (am I wrong?) and because I heard that it’s one of the better weapons for this class. The mace and torch are mostly just cause I like the torch, and mace has two abilities that can trigger AH. I didn’t really know what to put as my elite skill so I put renewed focus because it seems like a popular one. Lastly you will notice that I didn’t put any armor on. That’s because I wanted to try and get some input on my build before I opened that can of worms. Just as a disclaimer forgive me if anything I said makes me sound like a noob. I certainly am one but I’m trying to use the forums to expand my knowledge. Thanks in advance for those who reply!

Just going to ask this question for anyone who may want to give feedback. This is a PVE build(based of the gw2skills tab you chose)?

Whoops sorry yes it is. XD

PvE guys have a little more scope for variety of build, but mostly guardians run into problems with HPs if they vary away from Valour 30+Honour 30. I’d love to spec Virtues, but the other toughness/vitality are necessary.

When enemies are pumping out the kind of damage highlighted in this image, you simply can’t compromise on survivability.

K thanks for that!

Full Zerker 0-30-30-5-5 is something I use on a regular basis and have never had any problems doing dungeons. I have also done dungeons on my healing based Guardian solo and although it took a little while I didn’t die once and found it amusing that most dungeons are solo-able.

If you want to WvW, I would pick up some Sentinel(soldier if too expensive) and Knight’s gear. Will buffer your survivability. If you go PvE dungeons I would start off with some defensive gear and slowly implement more and more berserker as you become more accustomed to your class and playstyle. Drop CoP and get HtL! for protection. Protection is a life saver to guardians and allies in any situation.

Mace is also a very supporty weapon and would recommend a healing power based build/gear layout with it. Best results for AH builds are Hammer.

Thanks! I’ll play around with it and see if I can put a bit more into honor as well.
