Guild Wars 2

I have a few questions when going through my WvW builds. I currently run a Tanky DPS (3K attack and armor, 42% crit chance and 70/75% crit damage) in PvE and WvW but….is that the most viable way to play as a Guardian in WvW? Sometimes I have doubts.

1) How much crit chance and damage do your WvW builds usually have?
2) In your opinion, how much crit damage should you have for X value of crit chance?
3) Is it better to drop precision and crit damage (in WvW) and bet more on other stats (ex: more toughness and healing power)?

What are you trying to do in WvW, exactly?

I basically roam alone or in a small group. But when I get the chance to run into a zerg..I won´t back down. My biggest issue is when I run into 2v2 or 1v2 fights. Although I have a good burst, sometimes it´s hard to survive if the opponent has high defense and regeneration.

What build are you currently running? I run around with about 2.5k armor, 50% crit and 75% crit damage, and I do pretty well. I’ve won a couple 1v2’s.

My personal build is for sw/fc sw/t.

50% crit chance I find it doesn’t help as much if you go over anyway. Fury will sit you at 70% and if you use the right buffs you will be at 75% crit chance. Again it doesn’t add as much as you might think.

I have 88% crit damage

almost 3k armor, and over 15k health. Works good for me, but the build/armor/traits are all tailored to my individual play style.

That’s generally it I think. I can’t tell because I have a whole file of different builds and buildcraft is down right now. The runes/sigils are just testing different setups.

There are several people here with videos of different setups, and different builds in wvw/spvp/tpvp. Watch some of them, and if you can’t find them I will post you some links.

That’s the burst 3-meds build I use in WvW. Not much tank, but still more tank than 100% Berserker facerolly types. Power is probably the most underrated factor in any burst build, always run power-primary equipment if you can help it.
