Guild Wars 2

I’ve been running a lot of dungeons with my guardian lately and have been using Clerics armor because i like being support, but I feel like I’m missing out a great deal of dmg. When running with another guardian on my mesmer I saw how much damage a guardian can do while still giving some support. Sadly I forgot to ask about his build and armour.

So I thought I came here to ask. I don’t have too much experience with guardians because it is not my main but I enjoy playing it.
I tend towards Knights because I like having some toughness but I don’t know how well that works in dungeons vs. berserkers.

I think I can figure out a build after having the armour set, but tips would help

Hi OP, Berserk gear is more favorable considering the short time period to complete a dungeon. However, full zerker gear is not good for a pug’s party. Because the mob and boss will most likely target you due to your high damage, thus you will find yourself kissing the floor more often. However, Zerk gear is extremely good in a full Zerk team.

I would advise you to get yourself familiar with the dungeon first, learning when to dodge, etc before getting full zerk. The only different between a Berserk and Knight stat is just the time difference to complete a dungeon.

My build: 10/25/10/25
Save Yourself + Retreat + HoldtheLine or alternate change with Bane Signet
GS(Superior Sigil of Strength), Sword(+5%dmg) + focus(berly orb).
+10%dmg on Burning mob
+10%dmg on conditioned mob
+10%dmg when endurance not full
Invulnerability when Blind,
Sword +5%dmg,
Empowering MIght
20%Shout cool down

The bottom line is, play however style you like(support, dmg absorber) so you are happy playing it.

Answer one question: How much confidence do you have in yourself being able to survive dungeons in melee?

Not much? → Try Knight with an AH build to get some experience.
Average? → Maybe Zerker + AH.
High? → Go directly to a full Zerker build.

Dungons with exception of high fractals are easy and beatable by any exotic gear choice.

It ultimately depends on your trait build since the gear choices revolve around your trait choices.

I’m pretty confident in my dodging (1.8k hours playtime). So you say there is no big difference (except for crit dmg of course) between knight and zerker?

And more power on Zerker. Knight has, of course, more defensive potential, but you won’t need it if you know how to avoid or mitigate (big) damage.

Imo, your main focus should not be dmg. Guardians have awesome survivablity, so stack some toughness to pull aggro to you, so others(yes, warriors and mesmers) can do the high dmg. Use knights armor+soldier runes with zerker trinkets and 0 0 30 30 10 build.
Utilities depend on the situation. Just look at Strifes Anchor build on youtube for more information

Sure, if you prefer to spend more time in dungeon.
