Guild Wars 2

Hi Guys!

I’m finally hitting 80 soon with my Guardian. Currently torn with that armor should I get..
I’m running 3 Shouts. Stand your ground, Save yourself, Hold the line.

I was thinking my weapon to be a Power, Precision, Critical.
But the armour I’m having trouble picking one…
Should I be zerker and change up some skills? I would like to deal decent dmg but be able to tank for the group as a guardian should.

WvW or PVE? also there are too many aoes in this game so tanking for the group isn’t really possible.

Everything I have is zerker, but I went with knight armour

I’m dirt poor in PvE/WvW, but I know this works…
Armour/Weapons:
Go Knights with Beryl Orbs. It’s a safe and effective option.
Accessories:
Full Knights with Beryl jewels or a mix of Knight/Valkyrie ring/earring/amulet.

When you are running in a PvE farm group, spec 0/5/30/30/5 and get Purity, Mace of Justice, Altruistic Healing for Valour line, then the Writ traits in Honour (Symbols larger, longer, heals). You can take larger symbols off for Superior Aria because you run shouts. Don’t forget you can take a shout off for Wall of Reflection for projectile heavy fights and other things according to needs (Save Yourselves usually).
Get Staff + Mace/Focus. Staff and Mace for symbols and Empower (heals for crazy amount with Altruistic Healing), Focus for the condition removal and block.

Don’t even need Pure of Voice in Honour trait line due to the amount of healing you get from spamming symbols in a group.

For WvW you should try a spec with 2-handed CD, Hammer + GS or Hammer + Staff…
0/5/30/30/5 or 0/0/30/30/10 or 0/0/10/30/30 are common.
If you play Zerk some run 10/30/30/0/0 or 0/30/30/5/5 with Triple Meditation and burst like a thief.
Ask around and find the spec you like.
Also, you cannot tank in this game. Guardians can take a few hits with blinds and blocks and invulnerables, but you will melt if focussed and especially in this condition heavy meta-game.

There is a good start. As Ralkuth said you can get pretty good numbers with beryl orbs if you can’t afford the runes.
