Hi! I need help from some experienced Guardians with a WvW build!

I’m not really a zerg person. Basically what I do is stay in a certain area, upgrade it, build siege in it, and defend it. I like tower defense. I want to be able to keep permaswiftness on myself and on yaks. I also want to be able to hold off a crap ton of people for as long as possible! That way I can call incs to camps and towers and not have to worry too much about dying.

I like being able to harass a bunch of people. As a Warrior, for example, I can trait for the -50% falling damage and jump off of towers to knock people off of rams. I can Stomp them to send them flying. I can also throw down a fire field with my Longbow and Whirling Axe inside of it, which can cause major chaos for the attacking team.

What weapons and traits should I go for? What about stats on gear? I’m totally new to the Guardian, so I don’t know what to do at all. o.o

I’m not hugely experience but have played guardian a bit. I find the durable build to be the AH build. Failing that I suppose you could go for more of an spvp build and try a bunker build 0/0/10/30/30. Might be worth trying the two and finding how you get on with em.

This build is all about applying boons to your allies with symbols and shouts, and having those boons being applied heal you. It has pretty decent attack due to all its power. And since you’re applying virtue of resolve to allies every 3ish seconds (counts as a boon) you’re a pretty sturdy fellow to beat. Use your shouts like mini-heals. And try to get people in your symbols when attacking points.

(You can swap out the hammer for a staff or mace/shield if you’d like)

Oh, thought we were talking about WvW/PvE builds here. The build I just gave you wouldn’t work every well in sPvP.

Oh I know! I just wanna’ see how well I can hold people off. It won’t be exactly the same, but I can get close. That way I can see if I want to bother leveling a Guardian or not. XP
