Guild Wars 2

Heya guys,

I am trying to make Guardian Tank build. I do wonder what will be the best for it. I will post my idea about it and I count for your opinions.

The weapons I am going to use are GreatSword, Shield, Mace/Sword. I’d go with toughness, vitality, power stats on it and put stackable runes f.e. : power.

I am cofused with, how traits should look like. In my opinion TOUGHNESS, VITALITY and a bit POWER should be the best solution.

Equipment, the same : toughness, vitality, power and a rune with vitality in it.

The only thing I have no hell idea about are SKILLS. Which are the best?

My goal is to survive in dungeons as long as it is possible.

Post your thoughts

additionally the pendant with those stats was just made craftable via the forge but it’s ridiculously expensive. for trinket you have to do WvW, or use Knights/Cleric instead.

for skills i would go with shouts or consecrations depending on the situation(like if you’re in WvW or certain dungeons, wall of reflection and sanctuary are near essential). not much of a guardian player myself so i can’t get too specific.

here’s my stab at it: http://tinyurl.com/99pjq9k

This is what I’m working towards. It’s based around blocking attacks and using burns/heals to keep yourself alive. Shouts remove a condition from you, and with a decent precision your crits have a chance to remove a condition too. Since enemies are going to get burnt most of the time, one fourth of those will remove a boon from them. Boons you apply to yourself or allies will heal you, so shouts will ultimately heal and remove a condition thanks to your runes. Outside of dungeons if enough people are fighting you can swap to a staff and empower people for a tremendous heal to yourself and 15 stacks of might to everyone else. Anything that gives toughness, vitality, and healing power is what I’m going for in terms of armor. Your damage won’t be all that dandy, and I’m sure all people will care about is doing as much damage as possible, but if you play your cards right and know when to use your blocks, you’ll live longer than most.
