Guild Wars 2

Thinking about coming back to this for a while and trying to find the class with the most build diversity for end game and pvp thank you.

In PvE anything goes really, as long as you’re having fun (unless you’re in an elitist raid or dungeon group.).

However in pvp (unless you don’t mind losing or getting the blame), the very nature of “capture and hold point” system limits all classes into very little diversity.

As for wvw, you have alot more freedom to experiment, But it can get expensive and if you hate walking on normal speed, that’s something you’ll always have to incorporate to your builds. Unfortunately, guards don’t have a signet or trait that gives them a permanent boost, so you’ll have to rely on nourishment, swiftness, or runes. Whichever you choose, in the end, it will be another “restriction” to the diversity.

Sorry but that is not right anything does not go in fractals or raid wings from what I remember.

In PvP certainly yes. Just in the top 50 there are burn guards, Condi guards, shattered aegis gs guards, shattered aegis lb guards, symbol guards, and regular virtues guards.

i didnt meant it that way. i meant pve outside of raids. i know raids can be strict and most often has to be.

if there’s that many variety of guards within 50 competing against 8 other classes, then i’ll take your word for it. I myself skipped 2 seasons now and alot of people i know who pvp skipped too, i guess that contributes to variety?

maybe im just writing it in bad grammar, but im basically saying the same thing you’re saying when it comes to raid ( i agree), i apologize English isn’t my main language.

also to me raids isn’t the only endgame. theres also speed runs, organized chak, orgnaized dragonstand. wurm, teq, solo clears, etc. that involves builds.

godspeed, i hope you give guards a good try, if you end up liking wvw, would love to see what build you end up with in a montage someday.

Hmmm to be honest I am not really sure how I feel about wvw I have tried it here before but I played quite a bit of it in eso and to be honest I do not care for it, its gimmicky at best for the amount of time I waste traveling, I think wvw type of pvp is a little overrated, if I want that kind of pvp I think I would play an mmorpg with real focus on pvp and territory.

I think I just prefer basic pvp modes in pve mmorpgs.

theres many angles to look into it, nowadays i treat it as how open pk server are in old mmos, the feeling of knowing you’ll get jumped or chased at any moment is fun when roaming.

also i like to try silly build too, and since wvw uses your pve gear, all gear stats are allowed unlike pvp. but thats about the only point of wvwing for me, for others im sure it’s very diff and that’s ok.

Yea I can see myself enjoying for being able to have a bit more freedom in builds myself good point.

Guardian is a good pick for any mode, a great pick for PvP and WvW. For raiding guard is the 3rd highest power DPS but the most reliable one as mediocre eles and thieves tend to get themselves killed too often.

i would bet medi+traps(mandatory) + dps stats or full medi for any mode… build diversity on guard IMO comes from weapons not utilities, traits may vary but not that much.

If you’re looking for diversity, you probably should look into mesmer. Other then sustained (good) dps in pve it pretty much has everything you can wish for
