Guild Wars 2

This is some of my old clips I put together showing one of my favorite tactic in WvW. I usually go with a small force, flank their army on the side, and retreat back as soon as they start chasing us. It also shows my favorite combo: Chain of Light > Judge’s Intervention > Whirling Wrath.

I did this really quick so I apologize for the editing and music.

holy kitten glass cannon :O i knew guardians could hit pretty hard, but i definitely have not seen tennis balls hit for upwards of 2.5k. what’s your atk, crit%/crit dmg at?

Full zerk: 3136 attack, 56% crit chance, 103% crit damage (153% with base).

10/25/30/0/5? Only thing i can think of to get those numbers to pop up.

Ya, that’s the build I use for PvP.

Trung,

I use that same combo of WW > Judge’s Intervention

I call it the Whirling Intervention (lolz real orignal i kno..), and its gotta be one of the best combos for the guardian.

Especially in a 2v1 situation if ur roaming. Teleport on the guy behind and beat on him while his friend runs forward trying to figure out if you waypointed or not haha.

Nice vid!

I like this video a lot! You have a very nice understanding of positioning. Something I myself need to work on.

A fun hit and run style of play, thanks for the video. May I ask someone to please link the 10/25/30/0/5 build? In particular I’m wondering which 20 point Radiance trait is best, the others are pretty obvious.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot guys for the positive feedback.

I’m pretty sure I had Blind Exposure since that was the same build I used for PvE before switching to crithammer.

That makes sense. Thanks for the reply, trying the build now in wvw.

I have had a lot of fun with Wall of Reflection during keep defense. Jump out of the gate, use the skill and retreat – it won’t defeat anyone, of course, but the damage is enough to down some players as well as protect a gate from a bit of damage.

Could you add music description plx!

Added to the description box.

Fantastic video! My guardian runs a similar setup, but admittedly you use it a bit better than I. Keep up the good work, OP, greatly enjoyed this video.

Nice job OP someone finally bringing the guardian pain on their enemies. Good change of all the noobs whining on this forum saying guardian are useless in WvWvW when in reality we are wrecking force to be fear.

Thanks for the reply. Melee in WvW is still viable in open battle. Just need to know when to go in and retreat. In a stalemate, if a melee attacks the enemy group, they will fall back (range mentality) and kinda disrupt their “formation”. That opens up space for your team to gain ground and start pushing.

I play similar to how you do with my paladin build. I really enjoyed this video gave you a like. Don’t let anyone tell you that your squishy and don’t belong good job.

Video is good. And I use to use this until i went support since I hang with more buddies. But man the music I just can’t bare. Volume ftw.

Cool vid, i like the playstyle. Could you post a link to the build you are using in the vid plz?

Finding fitting music is probably the hardest part for a video, especially on long clips. I did this quite quick so I’ll keep this in mind for future music choices.

Awesome video!

Which runes are you using?

To the OP: I mentioned earlier that i was running a build similar to yours. This was true for the most part, but I only ran one meditation (Smite Condition), and was geared a bit more defensively. Today I set out to change this. I geared up with a bit more precision/toughness/crit dmg boosting items, and pulled Save Yourselves off my bar and put in Judge’s Intervention. Then dipped into WvW. And this happened:

It started RAINING Badges of Honor

Your video inspired me to give my build the extra boost it needed. I salute you, OP. My WvW experience just got all the better.

@AmalWright
I was using Ruby Orbs x6

@Nabarue
I’m glad that you can get it to work. Judge’s Intervention is really good for a suprise attack since you can never see when it’s coming.

Nice video! Its graet to see this can of post when most of it are ppl crying.
I use the build you post and variation if it with the same play style, but it gives some suport and survavility:
-Build 10/0/30/25/5 (http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mccz0mzzMmrnaMmrnama0xpVMozbms).

Pros and cons using the build instead of the 10/25/30/0/5:
Pros:
—————>gain 2,5k hp (survavility)
—————>20% 2h weapons skills recharge faster (offensive)
—————>bubble on rez (suport)
—————>keep vigor buff up 100% of the time (survavilily)
cons:
—————>lose 12% crit chance (offensive)
—————>signets recharge slower (survavility)
—————>lose 10% damage in target with condition (offensive)

I change between this 2 build depending on the group i’m running with.

I let you another combo i use in wvw: judge interv + shield of absortion on a downed target when enemies are healing him then i put smite on the boddy and leave.

Again,nice work! its nice to see this kind of post.

You had me in suspense until you finally went back and picked up that loot bag at 3:48.

I think I’d probably still try to make Crithammer work in WvW instead of going Greatsword. From your comments, it sounds like you’re doing the same nowadays. Do you have any advice on how to adjust gear from PvE to WvW? I imagine you want more Vitality, but I’m not sure how to pick it up without sacrificing too much Precision or Power (running fill Knight’s atm).

In the video its clear that he was using full berserker on every slot, otherwise he wouldn´t have 10,2k hp.

Correct me if i’m wrong Trungalung.

cool I show up on your video I’m the golden guardian around 5:43 min. LOL

Maybe he is using knights gear, it has no Vit on it.

Nvm, just saw his comment on the video, he is using berserker gear.

@xaarli and Italyguy
Ya, I run with berserkers.

I use full berserker and 10/25/30/0/5 because I need WW burst damage to bring one down as fast as possible since I can’t afford to stay in the “No Man’s Land”. Hammer just doesn’t do the damage fast enough for me. Vitality is not that big of a deal since I have a lot of ways to remove conditions. I would suggest you try to use full Knights first then replace your jewelry to Berserker if you need more firepower. This is a “hit and run” tactic. Bring the pain swift and hard then retreat. If you can’t kill the target, you’ll be forced to retreat or chase them deep into their army. An example would be on my death in the video. I committed too much on the kill (failed execution of the WW burst) while my team has already retreated. When you’re retreating, remember to use Chain of Light, Shield of Avenger, Leap of Faith, Judge’s Intervention, etc…
