Guild Wars 2

I hear that Toughness has diminishing returns(the more points you have, the less damage reduction you effectively get).

Please see screenshot.

How much more Toughness to I need for WvW? 3k is clearly not enough.

Edit: FYI, this guy did not have 25 stacks of Blood Lust. Not even 1.

vit is the best for WvW 3k armor is decent

On zerg blobing i run with 25k and 3.5k armor on my guardian, very good to survive the auto atack spam from the other zerg, if i run solo with this stats its a 2 seconds death still getting 10k~15k damage on 1vS1.

For some reason i also dont play my guardian anymore, if u cant beat them, join them.

I usually run around 3.3k. 3.2 seems to be a sweet spot. I also equip signet of judgement in a zerg which is like having another 300.

You need to keep Aegis and protection up vs a thief. And cycle your blinds and retaliation too. They are one class that we do counter rather nicely.

I solo roam and duel all the time with around 1760 toughness. Never really have a problem. But then again, my dodging, aegis poping, focus 5’ing, and shelter use has become quite good. Getting backstabbed for around 5k isn’t a big deal anyhow, those dudes can hit 10k quite easy on squishier targets. GS #5 and spamming cleaves in a circular motion is pro when they go stealth.

If this is in a zerg, then I have no advice, since I hate zerging.

Soft cap armour is 3000

you actually don’t even need more than 2700 armour, the rest should be vitality.

i find 3100 -3300 armor more then enough for wvw
my main was thief for over 2500 hours, and i can tell that i never have issues against them, since they are easy to counter
You got high acces to aoe damage, blind/block, and stun breakers, thieves /warriors should not be able to harrras you.
I will only tell you -5 points on virtues – voj – blind / Voc -protection +block. When you see your aegis disapear use your AOE cc. Greatsword 5/ hammer 5. I prefer to use gs5 /4/ gs5(pull) then 3 -2 . This will grant you arround 9 seconds retailation/ cc on thief and blind.

3k is fine. Your stats could be a lot better though.
