Guild Wars 2

Gyuforce.8291:

0 – 5 – 30 – 30 – 5
this is my support setup.

That level of stat optimization is impressive!

i was shooting for something with more healing power but can still deliver a punch

Current stats, with food/ bloodlust stacks/ while in combat, Working on finally getting some new trinkets, so the build isn’t fully complete yet though.

I was gonna post this before I got hit by metrica jp ban hammer, but here is my PvE/WvW semi-buffed guardian post “balance” patch.

Power/Toughness/Vitality gear, Runes of the Forge and various ascended jewelry swapping weapons, major traits and skills, according to each unique situation.

I find 33% critical chance quite enough. With a warrior beside you, furry (20% extra critical chance) is never an issue.

Health pool moves between 21 000-22 500 depending on the WvW buff state (this SS was made on reset)

Favorite setup:

Weapons: GS, Scepter/ Focus (Dungeons); GS, Scepter/Shield -WvW small group (using Shield of Abortion to push thieves out of their Shadow Refugee) ; GS/ Staff (with restoration sigil) on mindless auto-attack zerg wvw.
Utility: SY, SyG (WvW),HtL

Note: On the attached SS I am self buffed only.

Worth noting as well: I am stealing hp on critical hits, GS attacks, weapons swap (superior sigil of leeching) , Resolve passive regeneration and shout regeneration.

I wonder your original stats, I mean would you upload your stat ss without buff include a food/oil etc..

Just I wonder how to have a armor scale 3500++ with hp 20000~22000.

ill edit the post with the build since i used to use it on WvW resets

you can have ~24khp 2.7atack (think its atk lol) and ~3200 armor, but its doesnt matter, cause on this game you only need damage, player will still hit you hard, still having 12k+ damage (rare but happens) from some players or more if find a boon hater warrior…

EDIT: this is sorta the build i used (similiar stats) to group frontline to hold all the cc, and the loads of auto atacks, when strength in numbers activates it get close to 3.66k armor, gw2 calc ditn have the sentinel weapons stat that can reduce your armor a little and raise your health about 4k.

Pic on mace+shield. about 1.1k healing power when on staff, which can get up coz of sigil of life.

nice crit chance

it’s support lol.

Ive been meaning to get some screenshots and share stats here.

I managed to get the grenth temple event to about 20% solo with this setup. However i fudged up a double dodge and jonez was killed.

Is an absolute beast in dungeons, not super omgfaceroll DPS, but does well enough, can eat one hitter quiters like a champ! Group support is fantastic with this setup.

I have some items i swap out to attain a bit higher survivability (armor 150ish/hp 1.5-2k/healing power 300-700), and things for a bit better crit chance depending on situation. Sadly i have spent to many hours min/maxing items and calculating full sets of gear to see what stats would be if i should swap. Ive got something of a threshold on stats and what i want, so I cant seem to get any drastic changes from gear swaps at this point, stats are about where they are going to be until i can get ascended gear for this character. All gear is exotic.

Pictures are not grouped, with only consumable buffs (master maintenance oil and mango pie)

This must be fully buffed with some stacking sigil. The stats are awesome.

only food, i hate trying to get sigil stacks.

I haven’t actually finished gearing (working on Ascended pieces) but this is my projected build (AH x-x-30-30-10).

not quite where I want but getting there

My front line Guardian build

finally i got guard killer, here is my eb zerging stats while in combat for +150 armour. food is onnom compote and hardened stone

Need advice. Is this too much crit damage for hammer (considering slow attacks)?

Trice.4598:

My front line Guardian build

Can you please share what gear you are using and your traits? I really like your stats and i am aiming for the same.

:)

Using knight’s armor with Melandru’s rune. Trinket are half Celestial half berserker.
Food are Sharpening stone with bowl of lemongrass poultry soup. Weapon is PVT, I would probably change it but I’m still scared of transmuting my legendaries XD

Also traits are 0 5 30 30 5

That’s the build I plan to run when I cap my guard.

My attempt at making a tanky dps build. I have no clue how some people are getting their stats so high, it puts mine to shame :/.

Here’s my build.

I only have 3 ascended pieces yet. So it’s still not finished. Final stats will have over 3k of defense, not including the +150 toughness while in combat.. =)

Buffed with food only.. and quality oil..

wow, just looked at this thread for the 1st time in ages lol
I posted on page 2, things have changed so much since then! (ui etc)
heres my guardian now, almost full zerker

With the upcoming changes on Tuesday I thought it would be nice to bring this back ^.^

Moar!

Running 10,0,30,20,10 in normal PVE. The stats are unbuffed.

Welp, here is mine.

That does actually look pretty darn good.

I’ll have to be less slack at converting my crystals each day so I can finish a set

With buffs…

Knight’s Armor+Beryl Orbs+Ascended Berserker Trinkets.

The main issue is that it lacks power so even with an obscene amount of crit damage there is no foundation for damage.

Tbh they should add 5-10% to all stats or add boonduration (1% per piece and 2% for chest, legs and amulet) to the gear.

You are more or less forced to boon duration runes if you want it to be worth the investment. If there was about 20% boonduration in the gear you could swap 4*monk/water for ruby orbs and make it do at least some damage.

I also think it should be played with a an other traitdistibution. 10/0/0/30/30 might be better, fiery wrath and power of the virtues boost the damage in organized play.

Overall they are fun but i dont think its competitive.

Now those are some kitten good stats. I’ve been really thinking about switching up and dropping a bit of armor (sitting pretty above 3.5k in combat) and putting it into either power or healing power.

I think I’ll stop screwin around and finally put my guy up. Ya’ll have inspired me lol.

[edit] Here’s my guardian

Traits and jewelry the same, one zerker geared and one knights.
0-0-30-30-10
both are unbuffed.

Awww, Thank you!

You have great stats yourself too!! and yes, you have an insane amount of toughness in there.

I found that 3200 is the sweet spot for me, and then I stack health. I’m stilling missing the +250 vitality from the wvw level skill (guard slayer) or whatever it’s called, and then I should be a good 21k health.

Even with 3400 armor, I keep on getting 3.5k heartstrike and a 4.5k back stabs, which is very dis-hearting.

In the end, no matter what your stats are, it should compliment your playstyle. I’m personally your average (if not below average) in 1v1s, maybe it’s me or maybe it’s how guardians are designed, but that’s why I don’t believe in berserker. Mesms and thieves and sometimes necros are hard for me ;/. But this aside, I know I’m the tide-turner in group fights in wvw with all the utility and damage I bring to fights. Which is why I <3 Guardians

make sure to post your stats after you change them, I like seeing how other Guardians roll

Cheer,

-Erza Scarlet

Currently running 10/5/30/25/0

with no food etc my stats are as follows:

HP 14200~
Power/attack 1980/300~
Toughness/armour 1600/2800~
Crit chance 45%
Crit damage 92%
Healing power 250

I’m having fun with this at the moment since I’m often seeing whirling wrath hit for 5-6K on a nice clean hit and zealots defence usually hits for around 4K. Very much a DPS Guardian and not everyones cup of tea as it takes some effort surviving but I’ve always been a little kamikaze.

It would be nice and helpful if rather than only showing their stats, people would actually list out what gear/runes they have in each slot, their trait setup (most people DO list the trait setup already), and whether or not they are buffed with food. There are way too many vague stat setups in here and too many questions about how people got them, with too few ACTUALLY being answered…which sucks, since there is a gold mine of helpful build and itemization information to be had here if people were to actually share/post that info when they post their stats.

I hear you Examplar, Here are is my detailed build.

hope this helped, and here… I’ll post my stats again (sorry for repost)

The one build that I can take anywhere and everywhere. I tried just about every stat combination there is and this is and the most balanced I can get. And if I really need to tank it up, I’ll just switch to soldier gear with soldier runes.

Since ascend weapons are out, I’ll post my current favorite set up. This is my nuker build I always enjoy running. Also running 5 Citadel runes so I get very high fury upkeep. Stats are unbuffed.

Ascended weapons !!!

0-0-30-30-10 + food buffs.

Mostly for GvGs and roaming/small man stuff.

Been going for some pretty balanced stats.

Full zerk monks focus build.

takes a lot of timing and pratice and i wouldnt recommend going for zerker either

Cav or knights Trinkets would be better

the standard 0-5-30-30-5
these are my overall stats using the new travelers runes.
the gear setup is more of my roaming setup but works well in the tier 8 zergs i deal with.
damage and mobility is awesome.

How does your build work

Full Celestial Guardian, Including Ascended Celestial Back piece with 2 water, 2 monk, 2 traveler. 0-0-30-30-10

Just a piece of advice. Dont!

Stat wise the only two pieces you need are chest and legs. Those have stats that is on par, the rest is subpar.

I have a full celestial as well and you will be better off taking the time to mixing clerics/magi/valky/knight/ber/pvt.

Check out gw2buildcraft.com, that is a perfect place to fiddle around with stats and get a grip regarding effective stats.

You wont get the raw stats of celestials but you will get better effective healthpool, higher dps while maintaining the heals. Celestials is a huge deception.

Two reasons for that:
1. celestials lack power and without it damage will always be mediocre, it doesnt matter if its huge on crit damage and crit chance.
2. Condi damage is useless for a guardian if you font specialize heavily in it which will kitten your build.

The only thing i use charged crystals for is that it is cheap to craft, to get to 500.

0 – 5 – 30 – 30 – 5
Another update to my stats. I’ve got exotic trinkets and this is what I’m pumping out. of course I’m running rune of the traveler for the speed buff. Compared to my last Rune setup I’m losing at least 6% critical damage. Thanks to Brutaly for giving me some advise!

Edit: I have about 40% critical chance with my food buff

gear: zerker/knights/ptv combo
runes: 2x monk/water/travelers
build: 0/0/30/30/10 — AH/shouts/EmpMight/Ret
sigils: strength primary/battle secondary
weapon: hammer/gs

second screenshot is with shouts active since i run boon duration for the stat increase uptime. with emp might and the sigils, i can usually keep about 10-12 stacks of might on myself which definitely helps increase my power to roughly 3389-3459 during fights. also, each application of might and other boons heals decently with AH as well, so there’s enough survivability to eat some damage if needed.
