Guild Wars 2

Hi all, so this is the first time I’ve decided to use these forums and I decided that I would come to the aid of my fellow guild wars players. Although I’m not level 80 yet, (lvl 50 atm) I’ve been already thinking about builds for my guardian at 80. I always wanted to make a shout build where i can support my team a bit and still maintain some tanky dps.

I’m mainly confused as to what type of endgame armor I should be going for (as far as draconic and the other one i cant remember lol) and as far as accessories and such go as well.

Here’s the build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNApdRlUgyCHFyIEm4ESWBDE7BGVRd01DFiiYIA

Thanks for the help in advance!

I don’t know about ‘maintaining tanky DPS’. Your primary weapon loadout is the most defensive you can get, and you don’t have a single Trait that really helps a ton with DPS. So I’d say Cleric Armor is your obvious pick, as well as Sapphire Jewelry. However, you’ll want a bit more Vitality for maximum survivability, or so established wisdom goes. The Durmand Priory, AC, TA and HotW offer “Magi” armor that has Healing Power, Precision and Vitality. Since you already picked Retributive Armor, more Precision can’t possibly hurt and the combination of Vitality, Healing Power and Altruistic Healing will make you pretty tough on top of Toughness from Cleric’s gear.
