Guild Wars 2

(All typed up and ready to be mailed any/all of your Guard-minded friends, and curious foes…)

Air Force – Guard : GS – H or Stf

2 – II

0

6 – I, X, XII

6 – III, IX, XIII

0

With Sassin or Zerker ammy n’ Speed (Extra 25% constant movement speed, and increased vitality!) or Strength/Hoelbrak (Increased might duration/dmg, and/or reduced condi duration time!) runes

Air and Force (you’re already doing constant AOE dmg, why not just increase it by 5%??)/Fire (always a great addition if you’re wary on the SigOfFor) sigils on both weapons; or, at the very least, the GS and/or Ham

Sidenote: Strength sigils can/could be used in place of Force; suggested when using RoStr/Hoel over RoSpd

Heal: Shelter
Utilities: Smite Condi – Judges Inter – Contemp Purity
Elite: Renewed Focus

First off I’d like to say that I’m not 100% certain this doesn’t already exist out there somewhere, but it’s a combo I’ve found works in almost any area of play; and well at that, hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do!…

Few tips/tricks:

Start Banish —> Judges Inter -->Finish Banish (Makes both this skill, and Ring of Warding much easier to land on quick moving targets) [Sidenote: Them being on fire also procs your Fiery Wrath trait adding an additional amount of dmg to the dmg you’ll already be dealing, plus it’s own dmg!]

Use your Hammer’s #2 skill Mighty Blow in and on as many combo fields as reasonable with regards to your current circumstances (Two Handed mastery trait helps out quite a bit along the way with this build by reducing both weapon’s, entire bar’s, cooldown time by 20%; and believe you me folks, that adds up!)

Use your Greatsword’s #4 skill Symbol of Wrath before using Leap of Faith to wrap yourself in prismatic, retal/vuln giving, light… (See: Light Aura)

Feel free to fire away with any questions regarding this build; it both can be and has been tweaked to suit particular purposes in the past but for the most part I find it to be a great combo in most any situation! From 1v1s to 1v3-5s, WvW to sPvP, the large AOEDPS output+Condi cleanse+Constant leaps/teleports and heals will keep your foes on their toes and your allies alive; stay Guarded my friends…

Sincerely,
Sir Palomid

These are the builds I use for my Guardian in WvW after the patch on 06/23/15.

This is the “Group spec” guardian that I run when I run in bigger groups of 10+ people. http://intothemists.com/guides/5508-group_spec_guardian

This is the meditation “roaming” guardian that I run when I’m running solo or with a small group of less than 10. http://intothemists.com/guides/5531-meditation_guardian

Hello everyone, just wanted to share some builds i use

WvW Frontline/support Guard:

WvW Commander build:

So, I wanted to get an opinion on this build I put together: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQRArf8fnkIClDhVDBeDB8DhF/hSu8P/23KAqg6MLCnwME-TRyCABOoEEgTAAOq/cy+DH/QAW4IAki+BjN/dkyPSB8oaL-e

It’s a pretty standard 100% burn build, but I really was liking the idea of implementing Dragonhunter. Some of the new traits really help the damage, and also adds some durability from Hunter’s Fortification. I don’t like the abilities on the lb, but the ranged damage perk helps some with the scepter’s direct damage.
My question is, what should I roll for gear? Going for all out condition damage made sense to me, but idk if I should roll Sinister for the full glass cannon and make more use of the direct damage, or stick with Rabid like I have to utilize as much condition damage as possible, but keep the decent crit rate to passively activate Zealot’s Flame. Thoughts?

This is my curent build; http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVMQRAsf5dlsAhShY5QwZIwPEHxDVNAeg61uBvwjmXxWcGB-TRjAABXcgEg+gA4j6PdpE7LlCAcCAi+IAolyABeAA6s/AIHggtUS8i+nAAIA8xTexPeyAA-e

This is build i’ve been working on; http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVMQRAsf5dlsAhShY/OwbIwPEHxDVNAeg61uBvwjmXxWcGB-BSBQBk7kKoD1f0iSvZs/AK0/cRlBRSJIA8kCBAQA4jn8jf8kfMA-e

After any advice folks can offer.

after the Jan 26 patch and all the complaints about dragonhunter/guardian being unplayable I tried to fiddle around a bit and enjoy myself with some traits/skills I liked.

Note: I am in no way experienced in PvP and was just trying to have fun.

The build I was going for was centered around Healing (and LOTS of it), condition removal, blocking and not relying too much on boons. Since I feared the boon ripping, condi applying Necro’s.

I did quite well in a few quick matches and although it isn’t a burst build like the dragonhunter was, it’s nice and fun to play with this if you ask me.

I’d love some advice or anything else but mainly I just wanted to share some fun I had.

Hi All! I have this guardian build here which I’d like to get some feedback on^^.

I wanted to create a tank with sufficient damage to solo pve and roam.

It’s a GS/Staff build.

I was thinking about switching my staff for a mace and shield, but am not sure if it’s better than staff.

I’m also unsure of my runes. I want to get leadership runes for overall stats and 30% boon increase, but I’d be happy to listen to other/better suggestions:p.

Let me know!

Not sure if this is right place. I am coming back after a year away from the game trying to figure things out with Elite Spec. Anyhow I am just looking for some help with survivability with this build mainly soloing in Maguuma Jungle PvE. I played a fire damage type build prior to my leave using the Runes of Trooper for help with survivability. Any help/advice/tips is appreciated. Thank You

Here’s the build I am using currently

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVQQJARTlsAhChYzQwaIwPELxDVVA0A1bWK2izo8+3/A-ThCBABVqiSmqXAwRA4MlgS8AAUWpRK6KwSZWAXCgq2fIAACgJOxJGKxSciJDg5YA-e

Here is build I was sort of testing the waters with..

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Dragonhunter_-_GS/LB

Hello folks ,after heart of thorns i became troubled by the dragon hunter specialization , guardian allways was to me a Melee class , and a good one at that , but with the traps and bows , i jsut didnt and dont want to use them , thus i cam up with my own setup of what a Dragon Hunter melee should be like , and it works quite well in team play as well as solo , call it wvw or call it pvp team and 1v1n

So it uses Marauder stats amulet for pvp , or zerkers if you feel lucky with 13 k hp ,
in pve and wvw , try combining both zerker stats and soldiers , to have some extra beef , for a melee unit

it uses Sword , shield , and Hammer , its also a meditation build , :: here is the link to the actual build::: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQNAseSlsAhqhY5QwbIwPELNE11wuABQ28dh5n8xX8TPA-TJBFABA8IAEvMABnBAc2fAA

with it , in pvp and wvw you are able to dive in to the oponents backline and start wreking Havok to the squishys , its primarely a initiator / executioner build . or a tanky one if you use Paladin type stats

With the glacial heart trait and sigils of blood and air , you are able to dish out a lot of burst along side ur meditations , since glacial heart , may triger with ANY damaging skill you use wile Holding out the Hammer , even with spear of justice , or smite condition , and even ur heal . Glacial heart may also proc sigil effects ( if lucky)

with this build you want to allways have spear of justice on ur target as long as possible when you dps them , so you may gain the full effects of ur traits and damage bonuses

also , your wings of resolve can be used offencively now , not only they are able to do lots of dmg if they hit critical but they may also imobilise on aoe melee range ( as you land )

when you need to land ur full burst , use your , hammer 2 and Mid cast , teleport on to your target , and activate ur smite condition skill if you have any of you . If that combo is used after u catched ur oponent with spear of justice and that said target is a squishy one , you may as well almost one shot him

and since you are able to support your team as well in combat with ur virtue actives , your protection fields from Hammer 1 is more than a welcome eddition to your team! , try not to cut the AA chain when you are close to the last hit ( wich is the one hit that summons the protection field) , and basicly thats it !! , try it out and hope you have funn with it !!
