Guild Wars 2

this is what I’ve been running so far, and it has been working okay for me for now, kind of starting to feel as if writ of exaltation is a little unnecessary though, and a little questionable on the utility of writ of merciful

my goal is mostly level 31~40 fractals

is what i’m running alright, or should i change it a bit?

playing around with it a bit, 15/15/0/20/20 seems to be a nice variant without too many “useless” traits, maybe i’ll run with that for a bit?

thanks

Master of consecrations and renewed justice are what you want. Purity is a waste as well as over 20 points in Honor. The only trait for symbols that is worth taking is writ of persistance since it gives perma prot, more dps, and more vuln. Shout cd to spam retreat as much as possible would be better than larger. The 15/15/0/20/20 build is pretty balanced with all the best support and 15/25/0/20/10 is the most optimal given that conditions aren’t really much of an issue in fractals and purging flames should be enough. Shelter is a better heal for the most part. Wall, shield, purging flames, retreat should be on your bar and not SYS.

Thank you!

I was actually cannibalizing another unrelated build and forgot to check the utility bar.

This is what I’ve now come up with, I see the damage gain from the 25 radiance (precision and the +10%), which while that does well justify it, it kind of bothers me taking a “useless” trait for the second major there, I mean, that’s like Inner Fire or Searing Flames at best? Though, I suppose +150 precision and +10% damage is worth it in itself.

Still a bit on the fence about accessories too, my armor is full berserker, with berserker back and amulet, knight earrings, and valkyrie rings. While this does certainly work for me, am I actually gaining anything by using the knight/valkyrie instead of berserker? All the other guardians in my guild run zerk gear/soldiers trinkets for the HP, which is admittedly rather low, but I just can’t really decide. (I’m like fractal level 17 atm and survive just fine, I just don’t know what anything is going to look like 30+ though)

Thank you!

I usually just swap the trait around between radiant fire, powerful blades, and signet mastery. There’s nothing really great there but it’s 10% more dps which is worth it to use 10 more points to get there. The gear you have is fine. I run full zerk. I have a knights set of armor that I use to do specific strategies for a few things there as well but that would require a coordinated group.

Really does…. I try to get PUGs to listen to me, but they are often set in their ways on certain encounters. Also I tend to not rule with an iron fist like I do in Arah.
