Hi!

Ever since I started GW2 I wanted to use a shield in wvw battles. Thing is that it sucked balls and big boys told me it will never be possible and I should forget my dream.

Yesterday I saw an enemy guild running around in borderlands. They managed to defeat one of our guilds and did really good against our much bigger PUG group too. I noticed at least some of those hostile guardians had shields on!

So my question is: “Is shield viable in wvw ZvZ fights? Are there any changes to the build if you are using a shield?”

Good news; your dream is not only viable but it’s in the meta.

It’s been quite a fad recently: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Guardian_-_Merciful_Frontline

It’s not easy to do and requires good coordination and reaction time as you need to be observant and blink to lows/downed players. But definitely give it a shot.

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
