Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

Been playing my guardian from Beta and been playing AH with Hammer & Scepter and shield for a while now. Outside of AH, I love the combo of Hammer & Scepter and shield which I call the double trap & slap method. Basically 2 methods of trapping a boss/enemy to hold him in place while you and the rest dps him down. (Handy for the Dredge Fractal boss)

Since this involves a lot of switching between the Hammer & Scepter and shield what would you all recommend to place on the shield. Should I equip something for weapon swapping or something more steady?

Thank you for your answers in advanced.

This thread is still on the guardian forum first page (at the time of writing):
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/What-sigil-do-you-use-in-your-shield-pve

and should get you started ( unless you have some very specific synergies or traits you want to exploit )

Also you can’t go wrong reading through Brutaly’s guide for AH crit hammer:

I think sigil of stamina is the best you can get… Every time you kill an enemy, your endurance fully refills. I have it on every offhand weapon I use in the game.
