Guild Wars 2

Having little experience playing GWII and the guardian, I would like advices on my current build :

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUEQNAS5flYgKCXGSOEgNFRug6DxDThG941DHSRGC;TUAZUCokQpeS5EA

I currently use Hammer / mace+torch as weapons.
The build is derived on AH, the use of symbols and some form of dps enhancement through condition (fire). Mace and torch are here for the burning and symbol.

Questions I have are :
1. hammer or GS as primary weapon ?
2. which armor type to look for ?
3. What would be best runes ? I am thinking of 6x Lyssa to gain buffs (and hence AH) on the use of elite skills
4. any recommendations for traits modification / adjustement ?

On another topics, I would be interested to create a build around leeching life. How is this achieved ? Only through the use of runes (vampirism) – sigils (superior sigil of blood) ? What is the leech based on : dps or healing power ?

Thanks

1. GS
2. Berserker if you want more damage output, Knight if you want to go more balanced type.
3. Solider is good for condition removal, but if you think you have enough, go for 2xMonk 2xWater 2×...something else for boon duration lol, or go Lyssa because it makes our Renewed Focus amazing.
4. Can’t see the traits because I’m on an old computer but 0/0/30/0/5 is the skeleton to a good guardian. For two-handed weapons (and shouts) do 0/0/30/20/5 and then depending on your utlities, you should use the rest of your sp where you see best fit.
