So I’ve been gone since, like, September or whenever it was that Warriors first became extremely Ov… er.. got buffed. That being said, Guardian is a class I’ve never really understood before and I’ve been playing on and off since like Phase 2 Beta.

Anyway, here’s the build I’ve settled on and have gotten used to in yoloqueue:

(Really just a variant of the popular builds I’ve already seen posted and probably a copy of one I missed)

What I would like to do is convert this build into a WvW build. Is there anyway to do this while adding either survivability in the WvW meta OR more burst damage? If it’s possible to compromise, add both, and still be able to put up a fight in 1v1’s (since I don’t have a group of people I play with) I’ll take those suggestions too.

That being said, my main focus would be to keep the same damage output I have but not feel like I’m being one shot by everyone else.

(Bonus Question: Would subbing Scepter in for Sword and swapping Zealous Blade out for Focus Mastery be a better idea for WvW so I have some kind of Ranged option?)

((Build Variant: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNAR8dlUgiD3GSNEfIFSugqCxDODCMjueARKUDB-ToAg0CnIKSVkrITRyisFNKZVC ) Thoughts?)

Added Note:

I’m assuming armor combination would be Knights and Zerkers for the most part at least. But as for the rest, I’m not exactly sure where to go and I’d rather not spend a fortune on this character like I did my others before I figured it out.
