Guild Wars 2

I have a thread about HoT content so perhaps I could have shoved this somewhere in that one, but I felt it should probably have its own. That being said, I was looking for input/advice & your experiences playing Guardian in Fractals.

So far I’ve been to 25 using the typical Zerker meta (GS/Bow), but I don’t know that it’s the best choice going forward. I’d heard somewhere on these forums that the hammer was looked upon favorably, though perhaps more so in an organized group over a pug (something about pulling critters around walls), so I invested in a Hammer not too long ago. I even played around with Mace/Torch. The one thing I found about carrying those into anything though was that I missed being able to keep my distance. Of course this really just comes down to the zerker issue I imagine.

Unfortunately all I see or hear about is the dps meta, and in each case folks are just running to maximize that dps potential. I can understand why it rose to prominence. Active defense/dodging or what have you was all you really needed. Of course now with new content I feel like we’re being nudged away from that. Anyhow, once again I’m just hoping to hear your experiences and what you feel has worked best for you and your group.
