Normally I run virtues/honor/valor with gs and SC/f, but I’ve been testing cities/valor/dh with lb and sw/f but it’s crazy offensive and I prefer the survive of my old build cause I get in a lot of 1v2 or 3s and I find I do ablot more strafing then getting the job done. Just want some opinions should I run the build I feel most comfortable and loose effectiveness or should I do something that feels foren for better effectiveness?
I would love to play Defensive Guardian 1h+shield (valor,radiance,honor), but nearly impossible in this game wich i would have expected far more better build diversity option wich doesnt matter what aspect you play in a game, and not contrary ’’forced’’ only a certain if playing one. (or if not pick a elite one and you pretty much out from a content).
I will always play burn guard over trapper DH guard. I find that doing 9k burn in 3 sec kinda scares some people.. not to mention burn is one of the more powerful condis atm… I go GS and S/T and I wreck people all the time… ALL the time.. they think im DH and dodge roll only to find out…o kitten.. not DH but burn… I can easily beat a necro no matter what spec with burn guard. …Just got to know how and when to do it.
My main is a horrifically non-meta GS/Sc-F medi guard. Mostly soldier gear with some berserker and even knight/cavalier trinkets mixed in (some were actually chosen for lore/RP reasons).
I like it and hate it at the same time. It’s cool to never really die all that much in PvE, but on the other hand, having FIVE healing skills on the bar has really skewed my perception of what utilities should do and has made playing every other class a lot more… difficult.

take off ur mix of soldier and zerker, its horrifically inefficient, run marauder mixed with commander/crusader , give u great damage/crit chance and survival. quad stat gear grant more stats than tri stat, if you are gonna mix always mix quad stats. other wise you are losing a lot for small gain no gain.
Life blast should hit twice and have its damage halfed
If Rocket Charge is only 2 leaps then it should look like 2 leaps
True Shot should be cast on the move

Um, thanks for the advice, I guess? I’ve got no desire to optimize anything whatsoever.
For starters, if I wanted to be efficient, I’d take the Dragonhunter line.
I only play guardian, and rarely anything else. Guardian has been my main since head start of this game and I can’t stop playing it.
So at the moment I feel like I know the guardian well enough to just run with whatever build I fancy using.
It’s neither meta, or optimal, or needed anywhere.
3 Berserker & 3 Valkyrie armour pieces.
6/6 Traveler runes.
Berserker amulet and accessories. Soldier backpack and rings.
Berserker Sword & Shield / Berserker Longbow
Radiance, Valor, Dragonhunter
Yeah. I just run with whatever I feel like, and I’m enjoying it so far. Sometimes I pop a single spirit weapon (usually either hammer or sword) because they look majestic as f****.
I’ve been having fun doing a bit of Roaming and Zerging in WvW using a Sword/Shield + LB/GS as the situation demands.
Unfortunately it’s stupidly inefficient, due to basically nothing in common between the two trait lines, I’m split between buffing Aegis as much as possible while still cramming in some Symbol healing via Writ of Persistence.
