Guild Wars 2

Hey All!

I’ve grown to love the Hammer Meditation style of combat. I’m working on, like most of you, on a build to replace the old build. I’m trying to put together what I feel would work best to keep the Hammer and Meditation part of the build together. Any help or suggestions would be great!

Previous Build:
http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Guardian_-_Meditation_Hammer

Direction I’m Looking at:
Zeal – Need for burning damage buffs.
Virtues – For Glacial Heart.
Valor – For Monk’s focus.

Build I’m looking at:
Zeal – 2-1-3
Virtues – 2-3-1
Valor – 2-2-2

Problem:
Health took a major hit from the trait line stat removal. I’m sitting at about ~11-12k. Which is a quite a bit from the typical ~14-15k I’m used to. I’m hesitant to take on a Berserker set since I have a lot less health. What armor stat should I look at to to make up for this? I was starting to collect Knight’s armor before the patch but I think I might mix Berserker with Solders to find a good balance between Effective Health and Effective Power. Thoughts?

Cavalier and zerker is a better mix. If you want more HP, drop the virtues line. Honor line will be better over all because you’ll get heal on dodge, an extra 3K HP from Force of Will trait and Might from Empowered Might for you and allies almost every time you crit. Maybe just check out my Meditation build.
