Guild Wars 2

Long story short I have two guards and one does nothing so I’m thinking of rolling condi on it. Lately I’ve been running sinister engi and ele for sw. I’ve seen some condi guards but honestly how is it

Spvp (carrion ofc) —-> It’s a pug stomper and you know pug cry ALOT so prepare yourself for the flame.. other than that an half decent player can easily manage you..

Open Pve —-> Who care? Pve is the easiest thing on Gw2.. npc have no brain and give you almost no challenge, run what you like.. If you ask me you should go naked, it’s August and it’s pretty hot out there!

Dungeons —-> This isn’t the best set if you want to rush it, plus people always ask for “metahere, metathere”.. but if you just want to end it, again, run what you like..

WvW Roam —-> Try and tell me if it’s viable..

WvW Zerg/GvG —-> Just no.

Full Sinister Condition Guardian is a bit lower DPS than a Berserker’s DPS Guardian against single targets, and a bit better DPS against multiple targets. You provide a bit less utility, too.

See Obal’s stickied Guardian build guide.

Burnguard is kittening strong in WvW period!

I went almost full dire for WvW. sword torch/scepter focus with spirit (life saver) hammer I have no problem roaming, 1 v x or big fights my only real issues are signet necros… maybe forget it for GvG cause it’s a pretty selfish build but a big YES for me in zerg roaming and 1 v X I’m tanky as hell and my burning tics gets really high

If you play Burnguard solo or in a small group, yes! it’s definitely a thing.. you can read my previous post, about this, here —-> https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/WvW-What-is-the-Burn-Guardian-build/first#post5386652

But we are not talking about Burnguard, we are talking about Sinisterguard.. a very squishy weapon and armor set (no vitality or toughness).. and I personally doubt it can be effective in an huge open place where enemies can just kite you 24/7 while hitting from range, but I can be wrong.. as always a test is the best way to understand

I would think that sinister Guards are at an even more disadvantage than zerker ones … IS the Burning burst that reliable and frequent to rely on it in prolonged or populated encounters without having any defensive stats? I don’t believe it would be.

I think if your doing zergs or roaming with a team, you could get away with Sinisters if your using Permeating Wrath. Otherwise, why bother with burning at all?
