Guild Wars 2

The warrior has a regen signet, trait that gives regen based on adrenaline, and additional heals through utilities and traits. People know warriors to be darn good front line fighters in that they can take damage and keep on taking it.

I don’t know much about guardians, but I do know this. They have passive regen as an innate ability. They have a bubble that comes up every 40 seconds…more or less. They have a heal that blocks while they heal, and in order for their utilities to heal them, they have to trait for it, just like warriors.

Yet, somehow, warriors are seen as the better front line guys to go with.

I don’t understand why guardians fall short in the least, and I’d like some assistance in finding a guardian build that revolves around essentially outlasting your opponent. Is it possible? Something else I’d like to work my way passed is the range hindrance guardians have. It seems the only two ranged weapons they have are the scepter (which isn’t too reliable besides abilities 2 and 3), and the staff, which really isn’t a ranged weapon at all.

Note: If any of my information is false, please, dear god, please…prove me wrong. I love paladin-esq classes, and guardian is so…just in that area, that I very much want for this to work. Oh, and I like all of the weapons, and see the usefulness of all of them, so asking about my favorite combat style with the guardian is kind of…pointless. If I wanted full melee, I’d go GS/Hammer simply because they solve the pros and cons of each other. For everything else, I’m sure I could figure that out as well.
