Guild Wars 2

Since i haven’t found any info or forum about Guardian, running cavalier gear to maximize that critical dmg ( just for testing/fun ).

(http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQNAseRl0AhChYjQwfHQQEH+D1NcThWwGAf7DkjwK8CB-TxBBABfq+TaKBB4UA4lyPF1Hgt9HB8EACAcAMf5L/8BWe5lXe5lb5lXe5lXuUAWs1C-e)

I thought about linking this build to here (because i didnt find any forum/info about it) , build is designed for any instances where there is ranger and warrior in the party to bring more that precision.

Upgrade items for armors could be scholar runes too to get more dmg, I dont know.

I made the build, because our guild needed a tank for raids, and im aware of that it does have too much toughness, but it’s just to get more ferocity

I do have strong feeling that guardian is not a good dps class in the game, i may be wrong too. But please tell your opinions how does it look like, crit changes are about 46% with fury, dont know how much it would be with warrior and ranger.

I put greatsword there for extra retalation and because of the pull skill, and sword is main weapon because it does have strongest dps in one handed weapons, correct me if im wrong.

All that toughness will make you an aggro magnet and the tank wont be able to tank because of it.

It also has very low health for a tank if thats what you plan on doing.

Lastly as either a tank or a dps is has very low precision meaning even with group buffs your damage will be very low, which in the current raid environment is a bad thing due to guardians already being on the low end and every bit of dps being needed.

General bit of advice

1: If you plan on being the tank you only need a slight bit more toughness then other members of the raid to hold aggro. After that make sure you have enough health to survive (most say around 16k is fine)

2: After you reach the desired health and toughness go all out on zerk gear.

3: For getting the toughness & vitality boost you want celestial can be great due to it also having the other offensive stats and some + healing to keep you & nearby allies alive thus keeping your dps decent & aiding the healer.

4: Blocks, mace, shield, shelter are all amazing for tanking.

5: Sadly the guardian is already on the low end for damage & depending on the skill/comp of your raid you may need to swap out your guardian for another class with higher dps (which in some casses also has higher support etc… due to how anet have balanced things)

Thanks for your opinion.

My point is to be the Aggro magnet ^^

I dont know how much can i take dmg if i have that much armor already, so i dont keep health as a problem (maybe after i test it).

Critical chance calculated: 11% Current critical chance, 15% Right-hand strength, 10% Radiant Power + Fury 20% = 56% critical chance, i think the boss must have burning a lot too, so i dont think that is very low.

I have Full Zerker geared Warrior, Full Viper/Sinister geared Necromancer. I Dont want to build any other character with Full Zerk stats! okey i admit im going to build elementalist a Full zerk gear in the future, just wanted to point out that i have zerk character if it is needed and building another character with Zerk stats is boring imo.

We do have healer in our guild so i dont have worry about healing so much.
i have considered other healing skills too, signet is not my primary choice in this build.

Mace could be good for sustaining, but the bad things are the light field, and the lower dps

Well guardian maybe a low dmg too, but it’s still can do some dmg, tanks dont do the best dmg in raids.
