Dolyak is 30HP/s.
Condition Duration is pretty much “meh” for you.
Pack bonus was bugged and didn’t work ( though this may have been fixed )
That Dolyak regen is pretty meh. I think I have around 18k hp since nearly every piece of armor gives me vit. I feel like I need more power or precision, but I want a cool effect. Not just stats.

Forge seems like the best suit for you despite the “meh for condition damage.” It has a burn and a 15% duration increase on it all in one in addition to protection and a useful stat.
Divinity is my personal favorite but that’s because I’m a balance die-hard and love that it gives stats to everything. Despite my preference, Divinity really isn’t suited toward specialization and it wouldn’t add anything particularly useful for your build. The price-point on Divinity is only so ridiculous because it gives the most stat points, not because it’s better or as good as anything else in most cases.
I kind of feel like Earth’s protection’s CD is too long, which is just another reason to use Forge over it.
Don’t discard Dolyak as an option just because people say the health regen is “meh”.
You should have about 102 Health Regen per sec. With Dolyak, you’ll be at 132 Health Regen per sec. That’s more than if you had Virtues Master Trait “Absolute Resolution”.
Your build is also a bunker one. Dolyak would improve both Toughness and Vitality. It’s a great rune for extra bunkiness.
Avoid condition damage and/or duration.
What do you want from runes? You can either improve something you have little of, or max something you already have lots of.
In my opinion, damage of bunker build sucks so I’d try to get as much Power as I could, but I’m a Power-maniac Guardian. If you want to increase Power, Rune of Strength is great since it also adds damage.
Rune of the Pack is a little less damage (the proc doesn’t count because it doesn’t proc properly) but also adds Crit Chance if you’re low.
If you haven’t changed Orbs in the trinkets you should be around 21~22% base Crit Chance (plus 5% from Radiance) from the gear you mentioned, and though I think it’s a fine number, some disagree and aim for 33% or more Crit Chance.
Rune of the Pack and/or Sigil would boost to 32% or 37%, which is quite an increase in damage.
Sigil of Accuracy is one of the best in my opinion, though it loses slightly in damage than Sigil of Force, there’s plenty of skills that proc on Criticals that could benefit from it. It’s also far more reliable to have a constant effect than something that happens occasionally in my opinion.
The only exception is Sigil of Hydromancy so you don’t let your targets get away easily, but since you’re bunker build, I don’t think killing/chasing targets is your priority (also your second weapon is a staff, not really good for 1v1 or chasing people).
Rune of Divinity isn’t good for specialization as Archmortal said, but it is a great Rune. It boosts everything you have, damage (roughly 20 extra GS damage on auto-attack), critical chance (2.8%), 600 Health, 3 Healing on VoR, etc… but it greatly increases Critical Damage (12%).
If you have lots of Crit Chance already, this is a great increase in damage.
If you’re focusing heavily on Boons you could also try 2x Water, 2x Dwayna and 2x a specific boon or 2x Major Sanctuary for a 50% increase in boon durations. If you use a Hammer, I think you can have Protection permanently up with this, for GS I don’t find this as useful but for Staff’s Empower it does wonders (12 seconds of Might!).
These are the Runes/Sigils I’d use, but it depends on what you want for your build now.
I’m curious, how do people access the internet with no power?
I think the 2x boon duration runes would be the way to go.
Another rune to consider is Lyssa for more crit but the 6 piece set removes conditions and grants every buff for a few sec after using. Not so helpful with the golemn Elite but great for the other 3.
Anet lied (where’s the Manifesto now?)
I’m curious, how do people access the internet with no power?
Yeah. The thread title and opening post made no sense to me. I see no relation.
Answering your question, I think here is a clue:
I’m curious, how do people access the internet with no power?
magic, pixie dust, dragon scales and public libraries.
Danicco, I treat myself as anything but bunker. The very fact that you think that way means something is wrong and that I need more offense. I think we’re knocked it down to Strength or Divinity.
I am very sure that with my GS out, I have 30% crit chance and 51 crit dmg. Maybe Strength and Minor Accuracy is the way to go

Here’s an idea. What if I drop Pure of voice for empowering might, then give myself Soldier runes in addition to replacing the valkyrie accessories with beserker accessories?
Edit: Okay, another new idea.
- Drop Pure of Voice for Empowering Might
- Pick up Soldier Runes
- Swap the two Valk accessories for Beserker accessories (6 crit chance)
- Give my Staff a Sigil of Perception (12 or so crit chance when stacked)
- Give my Sword a Sigil of Accuracy (+5 crit chance)
I could then rock 50+ crit chance, constantly maintain empowering might’s benefit and still be able to remove conditions with my shouts.
Oh and be able to get 70% crit chance with Save Yourselves.

I might have missed it, but what are you looking to get out of altering your build? More offensive power?
Offtopic: Do libraries really offer internet services?
i’m looking at more offensive power and am willing to give up some defense.
I’m also looking into soldier runes and empowering might
and yes libraries offer free wifi
