Guild Wars 2

Hey there ! I would be really thankful if you could answert some or all of my question as I’m getting a bit bored by playing and farming for legendary on my main (Warrior, over 1,6k hours played) and I would want to focus on other heavy armor class. For now I’m a bit over 300 hours on Guardian so it’s not much but what I did so far was sticking to obal’s build more or less precisely but now as I’m willing to dive more into this class I need to know few things.

1. Do you think there’s a nerf coming for Guards ? I get the feeling that now Guards are well…little op or really at the verge of op but maybe it’s just my feeling as I can here many ppl saying what Guardian can’t do…

2. This may be silly guestion but oh well. My Warr is 30/0/20/20/0 and I feel good playing with that traits, so going on Guardian for the same traits is really dumb ? I know there will be huge difference but I really feel more comfortable and confident in those traits…or the only way to go for someone who wants PVT stats is 0/0/30/30/10 build ?

3. Knowing that I want go PVT stats – is it better to just not touch Guardian at all ? In times like these where you zerk everything you see…sigh.

4. Considering the traits 30/0/20/20/0 is reasonable way to go for Spirit Weapons ?

I think this is it for now, please adivice me anything you can, any input is welcome. Thanks best regards !

Spirit Weapons, no, just no.

PVT can work well on a guardian.

Doubt Guardians will get nerfed, they’re pretty balanced.

1. Guardians don’t generally get nerfed a lot but we are going to have a harder time keeping up vigor soon (along with other classes that have lots of vigor). I wouldn’t say guardians are OP, just that they happen to have access to mechanics that the state of the game favors.

2. The same trait lines for the two classes have vastly different uses so you’ll probably eventually be more comfortable with an entirely new build, possibly one that functions similarly. 0/0/30/30/10 is not the only way to go for PVT. Experiment a little, it’s cheap!

3. Zerk is the meta, but no one can really stop you from running PVT, and PVT can be nice if you end up doing WVW, or sometimes the more difficult world events.

4. I haven’t heard of anyone using spirit weapons well in their current state but there seem to be rumors going around that they will become more powerful soon.

If you do stay PVT try to at least put zerker accessories and gradually move that direction (assuming PVE). Really it’s like any other class that way. If anything guardians are one of the best classes to get used to zerk in due to having so many blocks and blinds.
