Guild Wars 2

Hi,

could you describe Guardian pve for me?
Like could you describe an interesting fight and share what you do in such a fight?
Which spells do you use and when?

I am asking this to help me imagine how Guardian pve looks like.

What kind of role will the Dragonhunter be?

I use shouts and greatsword… I think dragonhunter would be great for long distants and traps for lurring into it.

The guardian plays differently depending how you want to build it and what you are doing. For myself in the open world I run a meditation Greatsword+Scepter/Focus build and I try to group up enemies and AoE them all down while using the meditations to keep my health full and conditions off. While in dungeons I run the meta zerk build and the roll of the guardian is to keep enemies blinded, keep aegis on the group, and cleanse the group of conditions.

While in dungeons knowing what to take for the fight is important. If the fight has projectiles then taking Wall of Reflection and Shield of the Avenger are good choices, meanwhile if the fight is condition heavy purging flames and traiting for Absolute Resolution is never a bad idea. If it is just a hard hitting boss retreat is good, as well as Bow of Truth (though people run from the heal like it’s the plague for some reason). Basically dungeons come down to keeping the group alive while doing damage with greatsword and mace.

Edit: As for Dragonhunter, it is hard to say what its role will be. I tried it a bit during the beta and it lost a lot of its virtue support and the traps didn’t mesh well. I could see using the traps with greatsword to do more damage when you don’t need defensive utilities and using the bow just by itself as another option to scepter. I personally think scepter is a fine weapon for damaging targets.
