Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been looking at make a bruiser guardian build since I play mostly PvE (occasionally do EOTM and fractals, frequently do dungeons) and I was looking for osme advice on how to do it from people more experienced in making builds better/actually work.
At the moment there’s 3 different types of armor I’m looking at:
soldier-power toughness vitality
knight-toughness power precision
sentinal- vitality power toughness

I’m also looking at one of two things for runes, giving either all Brawler runes, or all Dolyak runes. Maybe even split half and half with 3 of each but I don’t think that’s too good an idea? Not sure on that one. Haven’t gotten as far as to think about rings, necklaces, and accessories yet.

My original ideas was a very generic bruiser; half tank half zerk, enough dmg to be a threat and enough defense and hp to soak up hits and still be a front liner. Main reason I’m wanting to do this is because I typically play very tanky characters in games and I’ve tried full zerker out and I hate how glass cannon it is.

Weapon and Traits I’ve been looking at doing have been
Sword/Shield
Scepter/Focus or Staff

6; X, IX, XIII
0;
4; IV, IX
4; I or XI, VIII
0;

I’m not a huge fan of those traits chosen for the power line as they feel semi-obsolete unless you’re using a greatsword or are spirit weapon focused so IDK about those. skills I’d plan on using are
Bane Signet, Save Yourselves, and the 3rd one changes situationally with Renewed Focus elite. Pretty standard skill set up.

Anyone I’d like opinions and tweaks to what you guys would think would work best I’m open to criticism and the like, all help is appreciated, thank you! c:

Great sword with Sword/Focus on other weapon set. Use 3 knights/3 zerk pieces of armor. Same 3/3 split with accessories. For weapons can use Zerk or if you want to be tankier go Knights. If you primarily do PVE in a group the Altruistic Healing will give you plenty of sustain. Add Empowering Might and you will boost your dps while getting even more self healing (via altruistic healing)

The classic 0/1/6/6/1 build works very well. Its not meta but its pretty good none the less.

If you want even more tankiness you could swap all the zerk pieces mentioned above for Soldiers but i think thats just too tanky.

should be plenty survivable while still doing decent ish damage and providing support.

If you cant afford celestial mix n match assassins with valk.
