Guild Wars 2

Since I returned to the game, I’ve been spending more and more time in the silverwastes, for reasons of loot and achievements. But every time I take my guardian to the silverwastes, I feel like I’m not contributing anything. It’s difficult to describe, but my guardian feels underpowered when dealing with the mordrem, even post patch.

Does anyone else feel this way? Or am I just crazy?

You are crazy.

I lay a hybrid guard since Patch and i do have the Feeling that I just melt stuff and Even a Little faster then most. However there several Job anyone can do like carvan escort

Wrong build. I play burning guardian and it is op as hell in pve. Burning can do up to 7-8k dmg. Add physical dmg to it and see them die lol. And somehow shouts aren’t that good anymore.

Moredrem, by design, are OP in nature. Stupid amounts of HP, generally high toughness and almost constant control skills from their normal attacks. When fighting them, you want high burst damage and the ability to stable as mobile as possible. Unlike other mobs, you also want a fair amount of armor to suck the 1 or 2 big hits they’ll be able to throw at you, as well as power through the constant AOE they can put out in groups. You don’t want to “Tank” them, ever!!…. but you can’t rely on being a glass cannon with their high attack rates either.

Because Guards are designed to mitigate burst damage (and mordrem are high DPS sustain), you wanna focus on burst damage and reliable cleansing to keep fights as short as possible. With the new trait setup and massive burning power, Virtues is your best friend for any build. For weapons, GS is good for the bursting you need, along with Scepter Immob for dealing with Teragriffs.

Personally I use a hybrid Soldier’s style PoV build, and it can dish out good damage for the short fight, but can survive the longer ones like a champ.
