My Guardian class is getting to that point where it is time for her to start doing dungeons and higher level mapping. The only problem is: I am not quite sure what build I should go for a full tank build. A friend of mine told me to go healing power/toughness for the full potential, but due to inactivity, I was unable to get any advice.

Anyone mind giving some tips on a healthy guardian build?

There’s a thread from the Dungeon forums that talked about what people think of Guardians in instances. It has some insight and what people feel are the most “useful” specs in dungeons.

I still feel the spec I’ve been running on my Guardian is pretty solid and I have no problems with surviving and pseudo tanking (as much as you can tank in this game). I basically can face tank bosses and then just jump back into the group and use “4” with the staff to get back to full if I run out of cooldowns to mitigate damage.

From the other forum:

I have a shout Guardian who (I’d like to think) is very useful in fractals. He runs PVT armor from AC tokens / karma with full Soldier runes (last one removes condition every shout). The shouts I use are Hold the Line, Save Yourselves, and either Retreat, Stand Your Ground. In the third utility slot, sometimes I’ll use Wall of Reflection (projectile fights) or Battle Roar (extra dps for not hard fights).

GS for grouping mobs so runs go faster, staff for might/healing when I’m low or a teammate is low. My dps isn’t bad either haha

Jewelry can be a mix of Knights w/ Berserker gems in it or just straight Berserker. I think right now I’ve got Knights w/ Berserker gem for Amulet. I’ve got the Red Ring of Death (Berserker) and the Power/Tough/Crit Damage Ascended ring in the other slot. Back is Power/Tough/Crit damage.

You’re gonna want to keep your crit rate somewhat high for AH to work well. Mine is like 27% (low) with the gear above and have considered switching my back and other ring to more Berserker type gear to convert that toughness → prec. That’s your own choice though.

Keep a scepter and focus in your bag for ranged fights. (Jade Maw / last kiting dredge boss, etc).
