Guild Wars 2

Okay I am a new player and I am trying out guardian in lvl 3 heart of the mist.

I have some questions.

Does Scepter shield + swap weapon 2h sword work in serious pvp?

I love the ranged stuff from the scepter and the domes from the shield.
I also love the pull that the 2h sword gives.

Does this weapon combo work well in serious pvp?

Not really.

Shield have some use on a Bunker Guardian, but it’s the only place where a shield is viable and it’s not really the best choice even there.

Scepter on the other hand is a powerful and popular weapon for a medi guardian, which is more of a bursty killing build.

Both together? Never saw that and I don’t see any situation where it would be ideal. On a bunker the scepter isn’t super enough and you don’t have the offensive stats to make use of the smite anyway so it will be useless. But on a medi guardian, the shield won’t really help you and you will lack the defensive skill of the focus, which are really needed on that kind of squishy build.

So there are no serious pvp builds with a shield?
I read about support guardian. Doesnt that one have a shield?

I already answered that. Bunker guardian is the build you talking about. It can use a shield, but it’s not view as the best option. Shield is really lackluster weapon from day one for the guardian.

Shield on Guardian is just a really bad weapon, much to the chagrin of just about every Guardian player that ever was.

Use a focus instead.
