Guild Wars 2

I’m a level 80 Warrior. I have no preference on weapons/builds/armor/runes/sigils etc. My wife has just started a new character as a Guardian. She’s level 15. We’ll be playing PvE only (never WvW or PvP). I might convince her to run a dungeon, but it will NOT be a speedrun.

For those familiar with both Warrior and Guardian, what Warrior weapons/builds/armor/runes/sigils etc would best complement a Guardian?

For those familiar with Guardians only, what areas do you feel you need assistance in? Things like direct damage, condition removal, healing, etc. For example, if you ever find yourself saying “I wish Guardians had better access to…” I’d like to see if a Warrior can provide that missing piece.

Feel free to offer any helpful advice, even advice for new Guardians, as I’ve never played the class.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

My best friend in this game runs a main warrior. I main a guard. Between the two of us we have done every bit of content in every game mode, including Duing Lupi in Arah.

Things to keep in mind. Even if you are not planning on speed running anything. Meta builds are about supporting each other to cover weakness and maxmize strength.

Outside of Dungeons you can pretty much slot anything, but Phalanx Strength will allow you to kill things faster as a team and save her from having to deal with stacking her own might. But only if you are running the bulid with enough Crit chance to make it work well.

Inside a dungeon Banners are going to be the best support you can give. Mainly Strength and Discipline but if you are having trouble with the cotent you can always run banners give regen or take one of the other two.

I primary find that as the guardian I am the one who is giving the support to my friend outside of might and banners, through the use of skills like wall of reflection, stand your ground, condition clense etc

As far as runes and armor I would suggest Zerker with Strength runes. If you don’t want to run zerker then something that gives enough crit chance to proc your might sharing.

Guardians also tend to be slow to run around with, so if you carry a war horn while maping and running around I am sure she will appricate that.

Run a warhorn and keep pressing 4, that’ll do.

I’ve got War/Guard vids/setups too. They sync up pretty well with each other, but that’s up to you if you want to use them.

Hi! Well those are my 2 favourite classes so I can tell you that there is a very nice way to help your wife and it’s by using a Pahlanx Strength/Empower Allies build (PS/EA), it will help both of you kill things faster and go through PvE content (open world and dungeons) pretty smoothly.

Main Idea of the build is to share the Might boon you gain with your allies and improve their power so you can kill mobs faster. In dorder to activate Forceful Greatsword’s Might you need to land a critical hit so Berserker armor is optimal with Strength Runes. Weapons are Greatsword and Axe/Mace (Warhorn for exploring) both with Force and Battle Sigils. Skills would be Healing Signet, Banner of Discipline, Banner of Strength and For Great Justice! Battle Standard will be your Elite.

Here’s the build: http://dulfy.net/gw2traits#build=AggBrAT8Bbg~

You can always change Brawler’s Recovery for Inspiring Battle Standard if she’s going down a lot.

Feel free to contact me in game if you have any questions.
