Guild Wars 2

Hi. I’m very lazy. I’m looking for a good dps build for lazy people.

I basically want to use a greatsword mainly with sword/shield or scepter/shield as secondary weapons and I’ve tried a few builds like 20/30/20/0/0 and 10/30/30/0/0.

I’m just looking for some experts advice on what would put out the most damage. I’m not too concerned with survivability, I already got full exotic berserker gear and weapons so I don’t feel like getting a whole other set. I just want to be able to run around with my friends pew pewing guardian style.

My issue is when I’m running these different builds they seem very similar and I’m just curious which one (after theorycrafting etc) technically has the most damage potential.

And I’m super lazy so I favor meditations that I can just use when they are off CD or Signets that I rarely use at all!

Feedback appreciated!

A full bar of signets with Staff and Scepter/x is pretty much as lazy as it’s going to get.

For real? Why the staff?

If you’re being serious, what kind of traits would make this a high dps lazy build?

Thank you =)

I was like oh come on someone’s gotta do it. He’s being serious, I’m not really sure why you think he isn’t.

So I guess what I’m curious about is 20/30/20/0/0 vs 10/30/30/0/0.

Is it more dps to go 10 more points into Zeal for more Power and the Damage % (Greatsword or Scepter) increase? Or is it better to go 10 into Valor for the 10% crit damage?

Or is there an even better DPS option that is neither of those? This is what I want to know. Thanks!

The Staff with the Guardian is like the auto beat down weapon. You hit 5 targets in a huge area at once, can hit through walls and the damage is extremely decent. You can kite using one hand and take down a mob while reading something on google. I do it often. To be fair, I think Guardian is lazy/fun mode by design. When i play my mesmer and engi I dodge roll and use every skill… Guard, sword/focus and Staff or GS/staff and just mow the lawn

To be fair I feel the same way about mesmer. Constant clone spam and hide, use decoy when they find you. While Guardian is much more involved if you actually want to get a kill.

I understand what youre saying but with my mesmer when I take damage I feel it. I actually have to run around and dodge, while my guardian eats chips. I run Zerker on both, though I do need to get back up sets for both of them
