Guild Wars 2

So I’m for the most part new to the game and just have a barely lvl 80 ele glass cannon. I decided I wanted to play something that doesn’t get smoshed to paste so I’m trying guardian m/s essentially keeping ageis with retaliation up all the time and keeping a steady aoe and a fair bit of healing, is this viable? I doubt it but I do enjoy m/s so if it isn’t is there a way to make is so? I like the ‘paladin’ like roles. I’m mainly thinking PvE I don’t plan to PvP but I may do WvW

on pve i would say anything works, even with no armor…..

on WvW if u dont have DH, run a traditional meditation build mayyyybeee with rune of durability.

I know of one guard in particular who doesn’t play DH and runs scepter/sh. S/he does pretty well and definitely fills that tank role. In wvw, having a melee weapon or melee set is great but I highly recommend pairing it with either staff for group support, or a ranged weapon such as scepter.

If you like being a tank and supporting allies you might be able to get away with m/sh and sc/f in small group setting in wvw. That’s just about the most defensive weapon set duo I can think of. For 1v1 or solo, this build won’t be very effective. Half the fun is theory crafting the build so knock yourself out!
