Guild Wars 2

I main a Reaper and have several Guardian Alts. Guardian is by no means my main profession but that does not mean i cannot play the class effectively. I’ve always like the idea of Guardian as a support class, if that’s not your thing then didn’t you read the title? All lame jokes aside, i created this build and have been testing it out in Spvp to a degree of success.

This build is about staying alive and keeping those around you alive, the longer you can keep the others around you alive the more damage they can deal to the enemy. The crutches that makes this build as good as it is is are Block and Absolute Resolution. You can chain an incredible amount of blocks with each of them healing and each block removing a condition on a 1 second cool down with Hunter’s Fortification.

The best places for this build are of course in team based combat. The build can easily keep 2-3 other players alive as well as the Guardian themselves. Most 1v1s will become stalemates so you should avoid them and move to your team.

There seems to be a misconception in the whole GW2 community that when taking an elite specialization you have to use the weapon and utilities. We should all know that this is not the case and hopefully this build can serve well for people who wish to try something different.

Attached is a screen shot of the team healing i was able to do in a quick match. ( was a 5v5 but the two left after game completion)

Have you tried it with Magi stats? Since you’re running Force of Will, it would give you more healing effectiveness (+23% → +32%). You could also try replacing Merciful Intervention with Shield of the Avenger, which gives AoE aegis on command (command has 15 sec cooldown, summon has 60 sec).

I am going to try this. Thanks for the post!

On a standard non DH bunker guard running staff mace shield I generally get over 250k team healing with something like 900 boons applied and 300 ish conditions removed from allies.

I’ll post a screen shot later. Because I think that condo removed sounds a bit low. When I’m off work I’ll dig through my screenshots.
