Guild Wars 2

Im looking into crafting my ascended weapons. Because of this I want to make sure I am crafting them with the skills that provide me the most flexibility.

What I mean is that I dont plan on making more than 1 set of ascended weps for now so I would like to get the stats that work for most of the Guardian builds.

At the moment im running Gs+H with an AH build.

My questions are:

- Are AH builds still considered a good option for people who normally run solo or PUGs in dungeons?

- Is Hammer still considered a good choice for Guardians?

- Lastly, would Zerker stats provide me the most build diversity?

Thanks!

• No.
• Yes, very.
• What do you mean by build diversity? Right now gear has nothing to do with trait choices, aside from stuff like RHS.

Why not? I just dont see full Zerk Guardians as a good option, yes they certainly can dish a whole lot of damage, but they are only good for PvE and even then if you get a bad group being GC wont help anyone.

To your last question: yes gear has a lot to do with the builds you choose, you cannot trait for Brazil’s Sw+Fc build without having Zerker gear, I mean you could but it would be very silly.

Well, you asked about PvE, so i awnsered having PvE in mind. And i carry bad groups every single time i’ve to fill more than 2 slots with pugs using zerker gear. Sorry you don’t see it as a good option, but it is.
And it is also silly to enter in a dungeon rocking cleric’s and using staff thinking you’re actually making much of a difference. :/

Edit to actually awnser your question, lol: With zerk gear you could use s/f, greatsword and hammer as main weapons. Maybe even scepter, according to some people on big bosses it hits quite hard since smite will connect almost every hit.

Well I dont know why you assume I use staff or Clerics armor.

I actually run Gs+Hammer build with Knights armor, ascended zerk trinkets and zerk weps.

I find the AH build I run very useful since it allows me to be in the front line dishing damage while also taking most of it without any major issues.

At the same time I can provide boons to the group and clense conditions which adds to the overall survivability of the group.

Im open to other kinds of builds, however since ascended gear is so hard to get I probably will only have 1 set of trinkets and weps for a while and I would like to have the stats that would allow me to run most of the builds without any major issues.

What stats and traits would be the best for a GS+H guardian? if Gs+H is not a good option then what should I go for? I mostly play PvE but I dont want to run a build that ONLY lets me do PvE content.

Im Ok with changing traits for the different aspects of the game, but I wont be able to switch stats since as I stated before I will only have 1 set of ascended trinkets and weps.

Thanks!

I wasn’t talking about you.
