Guild Wars 2

I’m trying to figure out what kind of gear to outfit my guardian with. I play PvE exclusively, and usually solo. But, I wouldn’t mind having a build that is more supportive on the front lines.

I’ve read a few articles pointing to berserker gear, but I think I would like to have a build with a bit more survivability, since I’m usually alone. G’s have good armor, but their HP are too low for my blood.

I’m currently playing with giver’s armor, and I like it, but as I push into ascended gear, that’s not an option any more.

Ideas?

if you like front-line support while dishing out damage, you would benefit greatly from Zealots. yes, it is a huge investment, but it is a great pay off. you have very solid damage output, (same power/prec as a zerker) and your healing will be a boon to yourself and others near you in melee. Your ferocity suffers, but I’ve noticed this is never a huge deal on guardians to begin with.

I run with ascended clerics trinkets with zealots armor, and no one has ever kicked me from a zerker speed clear. bring a way to give yourself fury and trait into party support (reflects, toughness, etc).

Thanks! I’ll look into that.
