I have been playing GW2 for almsot 2 weeks now.
I’ve been going back and forth through pretty much all characters so far [Created about 10+ characters overall >< This game put me through an identity crisis… xD don’t ask why]

Anyhow, I’ve finally decided to stick with my Guardian. So far he’s lvl 34.
I’ve been trying to set up how will my build look at end game, so I’ll have a goal…
This is what I have so far:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQFABlYgKC33RLcioSR8uHmCMmxrHU0hJE

Purpose: Mainly PvE and dungeons. Perhaps some WvW.

Main weapon: Greatsword. No doubt there. I freakin’ love it.

Second weapon: Can’t decide. Scepter+Shield is good for some extra DPS and supporting the group, Hammer can be really good too, Staff is also useful for swiftness and Empower, though I really can’t see any use to it beyond that ><

Utilities: I’ll probably constantly be changing them to fit the situation at hand, though I’d like your opinions about what’s practical at what situation. I currently see “Save Yourselves” as a must have and what I put in that link is all around PvE utilities

Elite: Can’t make up my mind…. I need help there too [I’m a Charr btw, so there’s Racial skills…]

Traits:
I’m pretty confident on my traits there. Just one other thing is bugging me, In the 3rd valor slot I’m considering taking Altruistic Healing [Applying a boon to allies heal you], so I wanted to ask, how does that work?
Does it heal for each boon I apply to an ally? Does it heal for each ally? Does it heal for each ally AND boon? How practical is that in combat?

I’d love for some feedback,
Thanks

AH (Altruistic Healing) isn’t that great in PvE.

Save Yourselves is suicide for a lot of situations.

Activate all your virtues quickly after using Renewed Justice.

Oh and keep on activating Virtue of Justice. For each kill, you renew VoJ and each time you activate it, it blinds and gives might. (In this build)

I made your build more damage-based and synergized.

There are other builds too. You might want to check them out.

Triple Meditation being one of them.

Oh, and swap out Signet of Judgement for Wall of Reflection when you feel like you’ll be against projectiles (which is actually most of the time)

If you are mainly doing pve and wvw then AH build is good. Some variant of x x 30 30 x with shouts.

Some combination of hammer and staff or GS and staff with shield/scepter in bag.

Your only other alternative is go meditations build. It’s decent but it lacks the utility of shouts. (No stability, no protection)

Meditations are actually the best for speedrunning PvE content. It does require more effort the effectively use it’s utility.
