Guild Wars 2

Greatsword/Hammer guardian lookin for advice i want to be able to dish a good amount of melee dmg but still survive ….tried all the other weapons didnt care for them..Lookin for build,gear and rune advice anyone?

Seen my thread has alot of viw but no replies….this build will be for mostly wvw and some pve

Build – might as well run Crithammer. Just visit the thread. Its damage is ok, survivability is good and you can swap in and out traits to achieve a lot of things. Basically can do 1 cycle of GS and then swap to Hammer for 2-3 cycles, then switch back.

Gear – Knights Armor mixed with Beryl Jewellery is hard to beat. Could also run 4 parts Karma Soldier Armor with 2 Beserker and Ruby or Emerald Jewellery. Runes, lots of options there, I’d just slot Beryl or Ruby Orbs. I personally use Soldier Runes for the Vitality.

All Knight armor with Ruby orbs as modifier and knight jewelry. I have both berserker GS and hammer. I have good damage and good survivability.

Quite a write up here. Everything discussed from variations to equipment.

I use 0/0/30/30/10 most of the time as there are lots of times I want to use Wall of Reflection, but the traditional build is 0/5/30/30/5 taking advantage of Virtue of Justice and the blind and buffs the two 5 point traits give.

I tried to give you some gear options as different people have different ways of acquiring gear. Some people farm dungeons or Karma, where others simply buy it.

I’d be curious as to how much health Dnias has. Each person has a level they are comfortable with. I like to see aroudn 16k as a minimum, but others are comfortable with less and do well.

that’s a great thread. lot of good info, theorycrafting PLUS testing. good people sharing good info. very constructive and i’ve learned a lot. i play crit focused hammer as well and LOVE it. second set usually staff (for mobility or mob tagging and empower for might stacks + AH healing) as well as GS for binding blades and just more raw power.
