I wanted to play a kind of supporty, tank guardian, but have enough dps so that I am not shouted at by other dungeon members. I was just wondering if this is actually viable?

That build will probably yield pretty low DPS unfortunatly. If you go ‘tanky’ you’ll prolly suffer low DPS also. I would highly suggest something with 10/25/x/x/10, it will give you a 20% increase to damage and Master of Concecrations. I find that some of the best support we have are Wall of Reflection, Shield of the Avenger and Stand Your Ground. IIRC Save Yourselves and Runes of the Soldier have synergy. Wall of Reflection basically negates damage coming in from projectile attacks and reflects um for damage, best skill we have IMHO. Shield of the Avenger doesn’t reflect but it stops projectiles also. I’d suggest something like 10/30/0/20/10, Sword and Focus have blinds for Vulnerability, along with VoJ. If you have an Ascended Mace already you can use that instead of Sword. Protectors Strike can be used for good DPS if you time it right. Careful of symbols though, you’ll want to blast fire fields for Might and guards usually throw Light fields which could mess up the might stacking, but w/o the symbol Mace’s DPS is lower then Sword’s. That’s where Sword and Scepter are nice, no symbols to over write fire fields.

After you get comfortable with the build start moving more Zerker, I run FotM and all the other dungeons with around 13K HP n Zerker gear, others can run at 11K HP.

For super tanky builds run Hammer with 0/0/30/30/10 Altruistic Healing and Soldiers gear which is terribly low DPS. I found a 25/25/0/20/0 Hammer n Symbol build with Zerker gear to have pretty good DPS and Protection in melee, Knights could work here too but you miss your Crit% Damage.

Thanks man, I’m going to try the build you recommended along with 10/30/0/10/20 Thank you very much
P.s I am assuming that you role zerk gear with that? No knights or soldiers anywhere?

I carry a full set of zerker armor, weaps n trinkets and a set of soldiers armor. I usually run in mostly zerker but I’ll switch out once in a while.

I’d suggest gearing to where you’re comfortable, maybe knights/soldiers armor and zerker trinkets n weapons. When that gets comfortable start switching armor into zerker. I know you wanted a tanky/support build so I left the Soldier Runes there which you can switch out at some point also. Maybe a set of Knights/Soldiers armor with Soldier runes and a second set of Zerker with Ruby Orbs or something. Most importantly play to a level that you have fun with.

this is my build I use for dungeons, fractals everything, bring all the support you need for your party, ( reflects, consecrations, condition removal ) alongside with big dps, if you run this build in dungeons you CANT go wrong. I use it in pugs, coordinated teams the lot, it’s awesome
