Hello and welcome to Immortal’s Well-Rounded Dungeon Dps/support Guardian build!

This build is constructed to provide above average Dps, Great party support, survivability, and massive condition removal.

Here’s a link: http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/guardian/?3.0|1.1g.h3|b.1g.h3.d.1g.h17|1g.7x.1g.7x.1g.7x.1g.7x.1g.7x.1g.7x|2s.0.2t.0.3t.0.2t.0.3t.0.3s.0|0.0.u56b.k29.k19|39.1|v.17.19.16.1i|e

The gear i use is all exotic berserker’s armor with 6x Superior rune of the soldier.
I also use Berserker’s ascended/exotic trinkets, we don’t really need toughness or vitality equipment since you’re constantly healing.

Berserker’s Greatsword of the Night, 10% more damage at night. Most dungeons are at night so i suggest this over sigil of force.

Berserker’s Staff of the Night, again works in dungeons and Empower heals alot because of Altruistic Healing.

Scepter/Focus or Shield with berserker’s stats works nicely.
Focus blinds and has 3 blocks
Shield has a nice push skill which blocks projectiles and gives some protection too.

Explanation:

Valor: 30
*V : Lose a condition every 10 seconds. This is good because we are focusing on condition removal, and this works while your shouts and Virtue of Resolve are on cd.
*VI : 5% of toughness is given to precision. This helps with more critical % which gives more dps.
*XI : Applying a boon to allies heals you. This is very important for survival, and during fights you are constantly healing and regenerating health, which will keep you alive.

Honor: 20
*II : Shouts recharge 20% faster. Since we use the soldier rune, it is very helpful that shouts recharge faster to have more available condition removal for the party.
*IX : Two-Handed weapon skills recharge 20% faster. Self explanatory. GS 4 is very useful for healing if the group is stacked and faster recharge means more healing. You can also take along a staff and each tick of might added to the party heals you a good amount.

Virtues: 20
*I : Deal 20% more damage while under the effects of aegis. More Dps, and aegis can come from 3 sources so if you get hit you can apply it again.
*IX : Activating Virtue of Resolve cures 3 Conditions and the passive effect becomes stronger. Excellent condition removal aswell.

I run 0/0/30/20/20 from time to time. Very solid build, I would change 2HW for Empowering Might though. That will help you and your team more in the long run. Since you are only using GS, and have a fairly high crit chance. Even if you do use gs/staff it’s still would be more beneficial.

More might for you and your team. Means things are going to die faster and you’re going to get more healing.

That’s hardly balanced dps build. If you want balanced dps builds, forget about valor. 0-30-0-30-10 is as much balanced as you can get. Another thing, pure of voice and soldier’s rune is an overkill, not to mention absolute resolution. You have too many conds removal.

I would also take empowering might. You go for crit, and you have the Ah trait so empowering might is going to give you a lot more than 20% CD on your greatsword. It improves you and your allies, and heals them as well.

im not using pure of voice though, and i should have thought of a better title for the thread because its not dps focused.

What I meant was that if you went balanced dps/support route which is something like 0/30/0/30/10 you wouldn’t need soldier’s rune.

Yes. So it increases your/team dps. Also giving you more healing since it works with AH.
