Hello,

I recently started playing again after a year or so. So I rolled a Guardian and really liked it. I want to play PvE and PvP evenly as I really enjoy the matches in Gw2. The thing is I don’t have access to DH yet so i picked up the non-hot Meditation build from MetaBattle: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Guardian_-_Meditation_DPS_Variant
Really fun build and I am starting to get better at it. However I want to try a tankier build. Can anyone give some suggestions? I heard that taking Paladin’s Amulet and the Traveler rune set makes it a little tankier and mobile. What do you people think?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers.

some one already know the answer
Lyssa and leader ship runes could also be considered if u seek more condition removal

Life blast should hit twice and have its damage halfed
If Rocket Charge is only 2 leaps then it should look like 2 leaps
True Shot should be cast on the move

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQRArd8elsAhqhY3QwVIwPEHNE1dY3yAAPBRQXmnv7L/A-TZBFwAAeAAEOIAtPCA62fQwJAAA with mender amulet _(note that mender amulet doesn’t have the correct healing power on gw2skills.net)

You will get 1100+ aoe dodge heals &1100+ AEGIS heals with about +20% for allies.

The build shines best a contesting a point indefinitely but if coordinated with allies can provide some healing & burst.

traveler, lyssa, soldier, scrapper, leadership & pack runes can work as well.

If you want a bit higher personal dps at the cost of personal survivability & ally heals you can go paladin amulet.

Note this build works much better with DH due to extra protection, stun break, AOE and bow being more reliable then scepter.

Thanks to both of you.

I had success last night with regular GS Sc/F setup with Paladin’s and I am getting the hang of rotating and adapting to the situation. I will try the build Ragnar suggested looks really good I will keep you guys posted. Thanks again.
