Hi,

I’m currently starting to take more interest in WvWvW, and I think I’m beginning to like Scepter+whaterver (I use shield atm).

Any suggestions on what gear to use? I’m slightly aligning to critical build, maximizing damage (and crit damage ofc) and everything else is secondary.

Berserkers? CoF armors? Traits?

Hope to have atleast 15-16k hp.

Thanks in advance!

Glass Cannon builds suck in WvW. They’re easily counterable by any shred of defense.

That being said, its rather hard for a Guardian to go glass cannon since we lack burst. We can dish out just as much dps as other classes, but there’s a difference between dealing 100 damage every second for 5 seconds and dealing 500 damage and having a 5 second cooldown.

But if you were to go that route, I guess a modified meditation build would be best. 10/30/30/0/0. Use a mix of knight and beserkers along with a sword/focus and scepter/torch.

You can try out my guerrilla tactic . Burst is plenty on a well-timed Whirling Wrath combo.

I’ve done similar things. I call it Judgebombing. However, I rather prefer to to judge in, use binding blides, pull it instantly, use whirling wrath and basically focus all the attention on me while causing tons of havoc and chaos.

I go straight for the kills instead of causing disruption since using blinding blade will give them more time to dodge/interrupt/stability. I call it guerilla tactic because it’s pretty much hit and run. I don’t stay back after killing the target or it runs away. It’s usually a small group flanking strategy.

true, but there are 5 people i’m attacking. Chances that all 5 will dodge/stability that are slim.

I also pop “Stand Your Ground” Right before that, giving myself stability.

Chances that all 5 will turn back and smack you also high (not giving them that chance since I’m full glass). As I said above, mine is to go for the kills. Yours is to cause disruption and help your team push forward. I’m not usually with the main zerg. I have my own small group flanking along with the main army.
