Guild Wars 2

Hey All,

I am recently returning to the game after a brief hiatus (Had a kid at the beginning of January as well as starting at a new Job so my plate has been ridiculously full) and was looking to start a guardian. I am fairly new to the game still (Think my highest level character is 50 something) and I was looking in the build thread and saw the “Burn Them All” build. Would this be a good build for playing mostly solo leveling with the intent of doing as many dungeons and Fractals as possible end game (will do some PvP from time to time for flavor however not my end goal).

Any suggestions of builds that might be better? I am looking to be more of a DPS/Support character than anything else if at all possible with this class. Any gear/trait suggestions would be amazing as well.

I am sorry if this has been asked numerous times but I could not find anything while surfing through the forums here and I am currently at work and not supposed to be posting on forums :P.

Thanks in Advance for the help all.

Chimp

Of course I mean burn them all BUILD not THREAD. SORRY

Just a followup here from what i can find online and in the threads here the majority use this build for SPvP? I found some specifics for the build/gear for those would it be the same for a PvE based build?

Burning builds aren’t generally favored by most guardians because then you will have to sacrifice other stats for condition damage and seeing as we have only 1 real damaging condition (burning) it doesn’t really pay off. PLUS burning doesn’t stack intensity but duration. I recommend checking some altruistic healing builds. You will find yourself doing alot more damage and survive longer. You will be appreciated more in the dungeons as well. Buuuuuuut in the end you should only focus on your build and gear when you hit lvl 80 coz that’s when your traits and gear make a difference. Play however you like until you hit the max level and then start thinking about your build and gear as you will have to balance those two to reach your jobs maximal potential. Also try different weapons and find the ones that fit you best!

When it comes to PvP and WvW: Chill. Changing traits only costs few silvers. You should start doing PvP/WvW when you’r confident with your skills. Otherwise you might lose motivation after dying all the time.

Thank you kindly for the response I will level and see what I enjoy and go from there.
