Guild Wars 2

I’m coming back from about a 5-6 month hiatus and I was gearing up with ascended knights because I was mostly tanking during raids. I’m trying to get back into it and i’m now wondering is tanking on a guard still a thing, or shd I be going zerks?

(I almost exclusively play my guard btw).

People usually use commanders mesmers to tank. Tank guardians aren’t really a thing.

people dont want to because they need the meta telling them how to play the game. 1 guardian tank with 3k armor and 9 dps should be enough to xlear all the bosses. I tanked the first boss of SAB like a charm, i got replaced with a filthy mesmer and dude had trouble staying alive. I hate how people act in this game which is the same way wow players have acted; leeching off of metas and expecting everyone to follow it. which is why i dont even raid anymore, i just wvw and go screw myself, idc about legendary or getting ascended armor anyway.

Narc from DnT made this video, plus a game-play video of him tanking VG. I don’t raid so I don’t know if people even consider Guards as tanks or not, but it is possible.
