Q:

I’m currently going for a somewhat balanced heavy support role (heal, boon and condition removal with some DPS, both in PvE and WvW). For that balance between attack and armor, what’s the sweet spot. I’m inclined to have around 3k on both and have shouts for cond removal (0/0/30/30/10 – with pure of voice and 6 runes of soldier).

Is it enough or the sky is the limit?

It’s enough for WvW purpose, for PvE is way too much (i’d never go over 2,6k).

OP in PvE you should have no “armour” or toughness/vitality, it’s a waste of a stat. Run berzerkers and use a guardians in built defenses and you and your team will do much better.

WvW, tbh, I use ’zerk in there as PVT or anything else is too dull to play.

edit: that virtues trait is just a waste and so is the rest of it, especially in PvE, try 20/25/0/0/25

Certainly hope you are solo or small group roaming cause otherwise, if your running such in a zerg, you amount to nothing more than insta-rally food for the opposing zerg.

Yeah I read this all the time on the forums, doesn’t play that way in game, though I am not on a T1 server, so I doubt it matters.

Considering how bad most players are I think if you can rub a couple of brain cells together then using ’zerk is fine in wvw, I was going to say I mainly use it on heavy classes, then realized: no, I use ’zerk everywhere. Flopping about hitting like a wet lettuce is not much fun, but hitting hard and having to actually do stuff to survive is more fun too.

0,0,30,30,10 is an awful trait set up and was out dated half a year back. AH is only good for learning to play guardian in pve, nothing else(yes i know its good for wvw zerging im talking pve here). 15,15,0,20,10 for hammer (10 points choice) and 0,30,0,5,25 for s/f (probably the best right now) lean more towards zerker gear and if you have trouble surviving swap in some knights or Valkyries (soldiers is just too bad)
