Guild Wars 2

Hey Guys.

I picked up my guardian again after maining Ranger and Mesmer for the better Part of the past year.
I dropped my Guardian because I was falling a sleep during raids, due to the face rolling gameplay and went looking for a challenge in a Melee Ranger and Mesmer.
I cant make them work they way I want so I am returning to my Guardian to see what he can do
I understand that the meta of 0/5/30/30/5 with Hammer/Staff and tripple shouts + Renewed Focus hasen’t changed one bit. I ve tried this build again for bunkering in sPvP and found it to be fun, yet it already bores me to death in WvW (small scale and Zerg).

Hence I am looking for alternatives.
Is there an alternative, more versatile and less ‘spammy’ playstyle of the guardian?
I had a look around the forum and found Christos Healingway Guardian which seemed pretty nice but again is centered around shouts etc.

or maybe I am doing something wrong?

well, thanks for the build and the link!
What you have posted is a pure DPS build, if I am not mistaken? That certainly is a step away from the AH build and I will definetly give it a shot!
But is there anything less squischy ( I am absolutely certain than in good hands, a glass Guardian is more than viable in PvE) for competetive gameplay, especially guild group WvW/small scale WvW?

The gear is quite independent from the build. So you can use Soldier’s or Cleric’s.

For WvW, Staff and, for larger battles, Wall of Reflection is essential so here:

Switch out Signet of Judgement for Wall of Reflection when you’re against larger forces.

May not seem much of a difference but I can promise it’s quite a difference.

that was a very good advice, tried your spec with both the propsed berserker setup and clerics. It fulfills different roles but both work equally well! thanks for the advice.
Having been reading the forums over the past few days, I figure I am not the only Guardian trying to get away from AH+ tripple shouts

I use a mix of soldier armor and Knight ( 5+1 ) ascented PVT amulet and knight jewels with celestial upgrades . Hammer or GS and stuff with typical shout build . I really love the place that a guardian has in WvW , i don;t care about big numbers , i love support with some decent dps

I use sword+shield staff with full zerker armor (zerker amulet and back piece, knight’s acessories and soldiers rings. Don’t ask, i get the stats I want) and runes of the traveler. 0 5 30 30 5 traits still. Let’s me be really tanky and still deal a ton of damage. (If necros give you trouble swap a trait for med cool down and put comp of purity in for hold the line.)

Stats: 2900 attack
3000 armor
16.5k hp
66% crit damage
44% crit chance (I’m messing around with it a little, would like 55%)
20% boon duration
380 healing power
+ 25% movement speed (at all times)
+10% condition duration

Started playing it because sword shield looks cool and I wanted to challenge myself (hate playing gs and hammer is fun but not my style)
