Guild Wars 2

Just recently hit 80 on my guardian and I’m looking for a balanced build for use in WvW with a group.

I put this together and I was hoping for some advice if I can improve upon it in some ways.

As I said I’m new to guard and so I wasn’t sure if I was doing things right but any feedback is appreciated.

For groups you say? Looks solid, more or less your standard DPS AH build. You could try experimenting with a hammer, and trooper runes. Your power is a bit low, id drop some vitality for some more power

What would you recommend changing out to do that? I was using the +300 vitality trait just to boost up my HP a bit cause I felt it was kind of low before that.

I can never justify dropping Pure of Voice for 3k health, ever

this is my bunker build:

You can also do medi (2/5/6/0/1) gs + sw/focus (which is my solo-roam build)

group wise, you can also run 0/0/2/6/6 hammer/staff

After taking some of the things here into consideration I put this together:

Would this be better than the previous one?

yeah that’s a pretty standard wvw build

Ya you can’t go wrong with that. You have the good base, after that it only adapting it for what you prefer. Myself i use melandru runes and full berserk trinkets. But that doesn’t mean that its better than you build, its just fix my playstyle and my need better. What you have is pretty much the standard meta so go for it.

Alright thanks. Just wanted to make sure that my stats would be good enough before I spent a ton of tokens on the armor.

the only reason to take AH is to abuse the staff healing other than that its not a great trait

you can get better healing through virtue 4, absolute resolution

I’d prob use hammer more than GS with that build for WvW

I recommend Hammer, much more useful than staff as far as support goes during a fight.

This is what I recommend:
