Guild Wars 2

Folks,
Am a new player, and a new Guardian especially.
After getting to 80, reading a watching a few guides, I kind of arrived at my own build/conclusions.

My primary focus is obviously the greatsword/staff build.
Before I get into it, quick note, I don’t play too many dungeons(though I’d like to get into it) or fractals. I mostly run around in Orr and do world bosses and try to solo vet’s etc.

What I went with was the following(link has traits/sigils/runes etc.):

Thinking behind it is the following:
High Greatsword Damage
High uptime on Swiftness
Relatively high health pool (especially for what I’m doing)

It’s a rather selfish playstyle/build, I agree but I’m not doing dungons etc. with it, though maybe with a few modifications to virtuies and maybe altruistic healing it might work.
All 6 pieces of gear are knights(with runes of pack).
Both weapons are Knights(str/accuracy and blood/force sigils)
All trinkets/rights/backpiece are soldiers(with ex.ruby jewels)

I thought it provides me with enough dps and toughness/survivability to take some good hits etc.

Any thoughts/advice would be highly appreciated.

Please keep in mind, the amount of cash I have is rather low as I’m new, so expensive stuff is literally out of the question currently. After spending money on this, I have about 17G left..so, just to give you an idea of how low on cash I am. Hence the reason for choices and to make the best I could with what I had on hand.

Regards-
Minty

In PvE you don’t even need +Vit

you can also drop about 220 armour for something else (soft cap 2700)

and for swiftness you can just use these:

or buy traveler runes (though expensive so prob not)

flame legion runes are amazing low budget, +7% dmg for what 60s

You could also use sceptor/sword +focus in place of staff, since greatsword is only a burst weapon not a sustain dps weapon

I understand knight armour, good beginning setup. But your weapons should be zerker (staff can be soliders though cause you use it in WvW)

That’s very good to know, thank you.
Currently, my stats are as follows:

Any other pointers that you think I should know ?
