Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

I just created a guardian and made it to 80.

My armor set is Power/Toughness/Vitality with superior rune of soldiers.

My Trinkets are a mix of emerald knight and ruby berzerker.

My attributes:

Power 1,950
Precision 1,412
Tougness 1,561
Vitality 1,505

Attack 3,050
Critical Chance 28%
Armor 2,772
Vitality 16,695

I gonna use my guardian for dungeons and WvW, I’m curious if this is good enough? Have i add too much on some of the attributes or add too little for the rest? For example, guardian is a class with low base health, is 16,695 good enough? And i read it somewhere that most guardian has 2,900 armor and above, should i reduce on my attack and add more armor? Is my precision of 1,412 too low? Hope to get some useful opinions, thanks!

get rid of the Berserker rings for Knight rings, you dont need Crit Damage all that much because you can get 30% from Valor traits which is one of our best trait tree’s.

Thanks for your reply, I just need to change my rings to knight? How about about the rest of my trinkets? Will that be enough to bring my armor higher by a decent amount? How much armor should I try to achieve? so i can try and do some adjustments if just changing the rings aren’t sufficient. By the way, I already have 30 level on valor. Thanks again!

Wish to have more comments from more people too.

Hard to tell you what to switch, but you’ll probably want to farm a lot of gold to find the best working armor/jewelry set that basically maximizes the stats you want.

My Stats:
3104 Attack
29% Crit Chance
65% Crit Damage
3125 Armor
16,815 Life

Im still going to tweak mine to maximize my crit chance/crit damage without losing too much armor or life.

Is it possible to tell me which type of armor and runes u use?

I dont want to be disrespectful, but i don’t think its true you got those stats, maybe you can put a screesnhot?

IT seems to good to be true, very balanced between damage and defense to be true.

@ Tou. I won’t reveal everything but, I run full Knights (Power/Preicison/Toughness) on my Armor pieces, with 5x Crests of the Soldier and 1x Beryl Orb. I don’t use runes, but I think I might soon, because like I said im trying to balance my crit chance + crit damage a bit more while minimizing my loss of armor/life.

@Splody. As requested. Oh and I was wrong, only 3103 Attack.

Thanks for sharing:) really appreciate it! Btw is your char a human or a norn?

What are the stats on your weapons? Beserker or Knight’s weapons might bring you more crit.

Basically you want 40% + crit with food and oil.

I’d look at Runes of the Pack to help get your power and crit up as well as the speed boosts. The rest of your gear is probably fine. Maybe swap out a piece or two to knight’s if your still not +40% with food.

This is with +66% Crit Dmg.

If I switch to hammer, I’m at 75% but my armor goes down to roughly 2750.

For most people, 15k hp is the sweet spot. With atleast 3000 armor and crit around ~40%, this is mainly for a dps role. By the looks of your stats that’s what you are going for.

I recommend Soldier, Knight, and Valkyrie to achieve this. This is my current build right now with 69 crit dmg. Keep in mind I’m using food/oil. If you want me to go more in depth with my gear just ask.

@ Amins.3710 – What armor set and runes do u use to achieve that?

@ Harbinger.8637 – Would like to know about your armor set and runes and your traits:)

Thanks

Thanks for sharing!:) You were saying you do use foods, so i presume some of the attribute are not at its base amount. May i know which attributes on your screenshot changes while you are not using food? By what amount? Thanks!

That’s w/ Knights & Lyssa Runes.

0/10/30/30/0
Two soldier armor pieces (gloves/boots). Rest knights.
6/6 Soldier Runes
Knight Hammer/Accuracy Sigil (not shown in tooltip so add 5% to that)
Accuracy Sigil in Shield/Leeching Sigil in Scepter

Screen with Omnomberry Ghost/Master Maintenance Oil (43+5% crit chance without food)

I use the armor more for aggro control (equip emerald trinkets if I need to outarmor someone to take aggro from them). Would probably run a more berserker guardian if I didn’t pug so much.

I use 30 Toughness and 30 Valor with 10 Virutes.

I have about 74% Critical Damage as well with this, I haven’t finished getting full exotics yet but right now it seems to be very strong even in level 20+ fractals.
