Guild Wars 2

Hello fellow guardians!

I have been trying to find my build ever since this speclization patch came out!
I feel like I die sooner and have become useless to my team in spvp and WvW. (which I mostly play now)

I used to play medi tank, using armor with mostly healing power and power. I usually use a GS and don’t typcially mind what my secondary weapon setup is. I really like sword and focus or sceptor focus.

Anyway my main point here is, what is a good build to get my tanky abilities back? I feel like its gone I die so quick now. My question for you all is to help me figure out what build would help me tank better. I usually try to run a build like this:
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-Bg-Fc;0NFF40E3-H-90;9;4nQN;0146137046h

All input is welcome, even negative. Thanks in advance all.

Yeah join the club, I used to love how my guard could survive through bursts and help keep my squad alive and upright.

Now he’s just slow, low damage and dying with everyone else. Can’t wait for the guard stacks to go away too!

Well, a few advices…

In WvW: replace the sword/focus with staff or mace/focus…. the flashiness of the sword only helpful in a havock (3-10) environment… Hoelbrack runes, lemongrass food is also a good option. Altruisting Healing won’t help you much without staff or shout trait….

In wvw if you use Zeal and Valor use Shattered Aegis and Communal Defences together since the CD trait has no target limit.

Stay away from the spirit weapons and the retaliation traits please…. Use one consecration, one shout and one meditation utility if you are not traited in any cooldown reduction…
prefered:
Stand your Ground or Retreat!
Hollowed Ground or Purging Flames
Judge’s Intervention or Mercyfull Intervention…

If you use battle presense you need to go neck deep in it. That being said its not worth using togeather with spirit weapons because theyll still die from their internal timer anyways.
