I’ve been trying to solidify my guardian’s build. Started off with support, and then went full zerker. I don’t really like all of either, and would really like to mix the two, which I sort of half did on my own, and it may fully well be a bad build. Full zerk is boring, and full support has hardly any dps, which I don’t like. A successful “bit of both” would be awesome, but I’m not ever remotely sure what to do about it. I found this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Frac40-High-DPS-Support-build/first, but it’s older and the links don’t work, but it did look promising.

If you have any ideas, I’m glad to hear them. The one skill I am really attached to is Signet of Courage. I’m not sure if it has a place in a damage/support build, but it’s saved me and party members so many times. (It’s not as good as the Tome used to be, but ah well…nerfs happen I guess….) I like GS, but I’m not overly attached to a secondary set. So, other than those two details, I’ll readily consider any options. (I can be convinced against those two details as well, but it would take more convincing.)

Right now I have knight’s exo armor, and trooper runes, all zerk weapons and trinkets, sigils of force and night, and specialization lines are Valor, Honor, and Virtues. And I’m honestly not sure if that’s a terrible build or not. I sort of meshed a build in metabattle with one I saw elsewhere on the interwebs.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks all.

Here is the build I am running now that I think you might like, it would fit pretty well with your knight/zerker equipment (I use Soldier/Zerker) and I love the trooper runes.

My suggestions would be swap out my sword and shield for your GS. They both offer some similar mobility and utility, so it will fit in fine. It will also combo better with Symbolic Avenger. If you find conditions aren’t a problem, you could switch Pure of Voice for Force of Will to give you a stronger passive on Signet of Courage.
