Guild Wars 2

Hi guyes!

Im a guardian and my toon will soon hit lvl 80 in 1.5 lvls. My problem is to choose armor stats when it comes to what the game community needs. Since i play quite alot of wvw i need something that can keep me alive for support but i also play pve a fair bit like dungeons and so on…I have some conflicts tho!

I feel so extremely weak as a guardian, takes 1 hour to kill mobs (i exaggerate ofc) but it takes a while, i could almost not finish a lvl 48 quest when i was lvl 77 cause lack of damage. That makes me wanna go power, precicion and crit as stat on my armor, but is that really what the community needs? and how well will that keep me alive since i have to play support sometimes. Argh! This is really a conflict, cause i dont want to be a wuss in damage in pvp and pve and at the same not die in 1 second as a guardian when i play such an important role of a party. Guyes help me! Whats your ideas and suggestions?

Ty in advance!

Almost any combination works for PvE / Dungeons. I know some Guardians really like full berserker’s gear for dungeons. I personally prefer either Knight’s or Cleric’s, and was surprised recently how amazing cleric’s is for support. Full healing your team mid-fight without blowing an elite is pretty boss.

What I would do: If you like DPS, but want to play support, get knights and mix in some berserker trinkets until you feel comfortable with your damage output vs your survivability. If you have a hammer as a weapon and trait into symbols + might on crit + AH you’ll be getting some decent heals and can support your team with Protection + Retal and whatever other boons you may get from your shouts.

Ty alot! Will try your idea out with mixing armor

It can be kinda expensive to combine it tho. (In case u dont like it so u have to get rid of one or get the full armor for both types later)

What I do and It’s been working really well is going Full Berserker but for Healing I use a Healing Staff. It’s not a lot of healing but dodging (You and your team) should keep you alive enough.

If you need to heal, Altruistic healing + Empower should be enough.

Just my 2 cents

AH and staff are enough for me in wvw. It’s like I have 3 healing skills: virtue of resolve, empower and the actual healing skill PLUS the additional health regen I get from dolyak runes, mango food, boons and the virtue.

Cant say i feel any problem with damage even do i have Knight armour with soilder rune, jewellery is full Berserk and Berserk on GS with Blood lust and Knight hammer with Blood when i get in a bad spot

Better than mixing, I’d suggest working on multiple sets including multiple weapons and accessories. I’d say a set of cleric and anything else you may find need for depending on your build. The more flexible the better imo.
