Guild Wars 2

Question 1: does the trait empowering might stack with sigil of str?

Question 2: can i put sigil of strength in my focus offhand and have it work for my sword attacks still?

Question 3- I would like to make a dps/burster guardian thats sort of tanky, i do have 60 percent crit chance and 2200 power, about 1700hp and 1600 toughness, (1500 vitality also)
and 1700 precision, is this tanky enough? im not worried about precision as my crit dmg and crit chance are perfect, now 17k hp seems pretty devent but i heard 1600 toughness is low?

Is this tanky enough?

ps: were can i have max lvl back items, is the 5 gold back piece from the guild vender max stats (not couting ascended) i would like a max lvl 80 back piece, i cant find em in the tp and why the heck if the guild vendor 5 gold one is max stat, why does it cost 5 gold!!??.

im trying to twink this char out im basicly done cept sigils and backpeice

1) yes, it stacks. it also stacks with sigil of battle, and the staff skill “empower”.

2) yes, you can put sigil of str/battle on both your main hand and off hand. Sigil of battle would grant 6 stacks when switched in this scenario.

3) read this: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Guardian-Berserker-3-0-Build-1

and this: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Guide-Hammer-and-Altruistic-Healing-gameplay/page/6#post908097

ive read those, i use my own build it works well in most areas, but yes im aware of meditation builds and ah.

sorry, but how much armour do you have? just to help paint a better picture for me lol. as i pay attention to that “stat” more. at the same time, best way is to test it out! numbers are good to look at, as well as finding a balance between on paper and field testing.

note that max stacks at any given time should be 25 stacks.

For sigil, just beware as they all share the cd. When you swap and get the effect of sigil of battle, you won’t be able to trigger the proc of sigil of strength for 9s. When you trigger the proc of sigil of strength, the cd is 1s though.
