Tiny Icono – Engineer / The Icono – Elementalist
SoS – Empyrean Knights [EK] YB – The Coasters [TC]
I’ve been a member of the guardian community and have finally decided to post a build on here. This build is for WvW and is aimed for primarily for roaming. An AH build with PoV would be optimal for zerging instead of this. However, this does work for both, as I’m lazy and don’t like to change traits all the time.
Armor: I chose a mix of knights and soldiers to get a healthy amount of power and toughness. Ruby orbs were chosen just because of the pure dps they bring and the fact that they’re cheap, making this build viable for people who don’t want to drop massive amounts of gold just on runes for their armor. Feel free to replace runes with whatever you prefer.
Trinkets: All zerk. You want to see big numbers right?
Weapons: I’m a sucker for big two handed weapons so I chose hammer and greatsword. A great dps combo with these 2 weapons is to start RoW, use JI, Banish, Mighty Blow, then switch to GS for the symbol + WW combo. I typically can melt through most opponents with just that.
Build: 20/0/30/20 because the power from the traitline, extra gs dmg, and cool down for 2h weapons all synergize nicely. And then MF with meditation cooldowns for obvious reasons.
If you have any questions, improvements, or even just want to tear the build apart please comment below
I’m confused as to why you opted to use trait points for Monk’s Focus when only one meditation is sitting in your utility slot.
kitten . Don’t know how that happened. Normally I use JI/Smite/SYG or Contemplation of purity. My bad

Yes, please do move on. Your rudeness is not welcome.

I mean he’s not completely off. This build is not ground breaking but it does encourage people to do more than just go 0/5/30/30/5 or 0/0/30/30/10. I will however say that with this build I have had more success in WvW than I ever did with RHS builds or full support builds. Also one of the benefits of this build is it’s relatively cheap to use. You don’t have to break the bank to use this.
I like builds like this where people are trying things new to them. Their insights tend to make me think about things I’m doing as well. I’m trying a roaming solo build right now that features RHS and some minimal shouts/selfless daring and high crit rate. I normally run full cleric tank healer setup so it’s really fun to step over to the dark side once in awhile. Thanks for posting.
Yeah and so, its nothing new to read
OP, your build probably works well for you, but I do not need “big numbers” to be effective nor to accumulate loot bags, along with fabulous spikes. I run this when roaming (I have a different build I run when running mid-to-large group):

I’ve watched your video’s several times and was very impressed with them. I rolled a GS warrior hoping to do such damage and quite frankly, I don’t even play her now. The warrior has been a complete disappointment that I wonder why I even leveled her to 80. Right now, I’m thinking of deleting the character and starting over as a zerker Guardian. Sounds crazy though, don’t you think?
