Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m a long time reader but this is my first post here and first of all I want to thanks all the guardian forum contributors for all the useful information I found about our class mechanics ! I’m new to guardian (mine is in his 30’s) and I’m having some serious fun with this toon (I already have a Mesmer and a necro both 80 that I play mainly in www).

I would like to have some feedback on a build I theorycrafted during my vacations (being far from any Internet connection, I can only use my Smartphone).

The idea is to build a support/heal guardian with some acceptable offensive capabilities that can be used in www for small group (solo ?) roaming Thus, the idea is to play around two traits that bring some synergy to reach this goal: right hand strength (offensive power) and mace of justice (healing boost). On top of that, selfless daring seem to be staple to any heal build. Then, I ended with 0/30/20/15/5 (I love virtues minor adept and it synergizes well with radiance minors). Here is the build:

The build is short in condition removal that’s why I chose signet of resolve, smite conditions and runes of soldiers. Two other utilities are HtL and SYG (traited) for support.

Weapons are mace/shield and sword/focus and the idea here is to use the sword for offense and to switch to mace for defense.

Once again, this is pure theorycrafting, I would love testing this build when my guard will be 80 but I’d rather get some preliminary feedback from experienced players before chasing the necessary exo and ascended stuff !

Many thanks in advance !

hello margane,
first of all… i’ve to say that this is a nice imput for a great build
now, if you are looking for heals and you want to get it only from regen remember that:

regen = 130 + 0.125 * healing power (255 hp per sec)
VoR = 84 * 0.06 * healing power

then if you want to be able to deal a good damage i suggest you to trasform this build in a signet one… so you can get maximum benefits from Signet of Resolve and get a better trait in radiance master since powerfull blades is good only for sword while your build is focused on mace.

so i suggest you to get both: “signet mastery” and “inscribed removal” and use: signet of judgment, bane signet and signet of mercy… so basically you improve everything you need; healing, power and damage reduction! Also you get a passive condition removal and 3 cond removal on activation.

this will be a nice imput for build optimization

ps: modified build for a better one
