Hey guys,
Ive been lately trying to improve my gamestyle on guardian.
I was wondering if there are any guardian specific guides/tactics for dungeons and fractals?
I kinda mean a guide for specific spots in dungeons and what guardian should do in them. Like where to use SoR, sanctuary etc, when to pop stability even. I know it all comes down to knowledge of your class and game, but I thought that guardian related tactics guide would help me.

Cheers

Literally everything you’ll need for dungeons is in there. I don’t think he’s done fractals yet, but the tools and application of such tools you learn from the dungeons carry over to fractals and watching videos like the KING fractal guides will help a lot.

I will say your teams strategies may differ from what’s explained bug again it gives a great idea for your general groups. And, it will get your mind on the right track so you can apply your tools correctly if your strategies do deviate.

Couple tips for fractals. First big thing to learn is where projectiles are the key, Bloomhunger, The last guy on Harpy fractal, and the first champ in molten duo (and the duo) come to mind. Learning the Wall→Shield→ Wall rotation is a huge help. Basically you just hit your Shield at 22s left on a traited Wall of Reflect cooldown timer, if you do this your shield will be dropping right after you toss up your second Wall of reflect for a total of 44s of projectile defense.

A note, as much as projectile defense is great while fighting Grawl Shaman, you’ll generally want to save your Shield of the Avenger for his phasing if you can, it helps a lot against the elementals and you really don’t want to be caught without anything when they come out.

Fractal version of my guide that Jerus linked is out since June 19th: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Guide-Playing-Guardian-in-Fractals/first#post5170283

It would be sure nice if my guides could get a sticky so that they don’t repeatedly get buried and people can see them. Then again, ANET apparently doesn’t read the Guardian profession forum.
