Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I just picked up my guardian and I’m love him more than my Ele and decided to main this guy. Basically what I’m looking for is something that is very tanky, some decent healing, and can be decent at roaming (skill aside) if I’m not following the zerg.

Anyway, I’ve been playing with the character builder and came up with something like this:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQJARWlYgqCnFSKEf4ERWhVi9AjwvjXPSIFZIA-j0xAYLA0GUCsIasV2ioxqsxUvDpWDDBA-w

Granted, that’s with exotic weapons, no weapon sigils, and no food buffs… I’m going to keep a few different ones handy to stack those +10 buffs before running out.

If this isn’t good, can anyone point me to a decent build for what I’m looking for? I’ve seen the healway, commando, celestial, and a few other builds and I don’t know if they are appealing, granted I never tried them.

Thanks in advance for all the feedback and support

This build is pretty much exactly what you need for zerging. For roaming you might want to change it up a bit. I personally like more zerk gear on hand when roaming so I can actually kill something. With this build right now you’re going to have trouble while roaming

Its a good build. I’m a bigger fan of shelter then SoR, not saying that SoR is a bad choice.

If you feel like being adventurous you can run the symbol build I run: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNApdWlUgqCnFyvDfIFRuAbBYPwoG741DHmQGC-jEyA4fBRySgoCgJvFNm+CaltIas6aMlLRUtQAjWAA-w

I use sigil of bloodlust stackers though you can use perception too.

I haven’t tried using it with the hammer changes yet.

Awesome, ty guys TBH, ill end up having multiple builds and sets but need something to get started and building ranks with. I will toy with that symbol build as well.

like others have said, that is pretty good for zerging. though if you’re going to roam i’d definitely gear or trait a bit more differently. or with small groups, you can bring similar utility for group support, but definitely gear more offensively so you do more damage and end fights faster.

since Blasino mentioned it, if you’re zerging, Shelter could be more useful since the 2s block while healing can get you through choke points or be extremely clutch lol. while Signet heal i find again better for roaming for the burst heal. though Shelter works as well. it all depends on playstyle : ))

glad you’re enjoying the Guardian in WvW! keep ranking up and when you get Applied Fortitude through the Guard’s Defense line, that’s another 2500 HP you get so you can afford to gear more offensively. changed my game play and options a lot.

and just to note, in case you haven’t thought of food yet.. the – condition duration stuff is pretty nice. though if you can cleanse enough, that’s fine too. then go for more damage oriented food.

and yes to multiple builds! lol i am a build addict. ://
