Guild Wars 2

Hi fellow Guardians. I played this amazing and fun class since lauch, I must have tried every spec/weapons possible over and over again. I really enjoy playing it.

I would like to ask you guys what weapons do you use with what builds, and maybe why you have chosen that weapon/trait over an old one. based on personal experiences, maybe a little feedback?

Maybe tell us which classes are your easiest targets or nemesis?

I have encountered countless Guardians using the Greatsword and personally in WvW I found it to be pretty wrothless compared to other 2handers. so I’m wondering why so many Greatsword users.

Personnally i’m Altruistic Healing build with (10/0/30/25/5) traits
using a Staff and Hammer with Shouts and Wall of Reflect

Full PVT gear + Zerker/Knight Amulets and rings. sitting at 21k health, 3k armor , 20 ish % crit and + 40 crit dmg and about 3500-4000 attack depending on my buffs

Personally my easier targets are Rangers and other Guardians

and my nemesis is the kitten Necromancer.

How about you?

p.s. sorry if english is not always correct, it’s only my 2nd language.

I use all of the weapons that we can use. Why? I don’t know, because we can and I’m a pack rat I guess /boggle.

Shield – because I like to run on into the zergs and use skill 5 to push them back. The wise players know about stability. The fools that don’t, well, end up falling over the sides of bridges, over walls, and other nasty high places.

Hammer – because I love skill 4 / Banish. As with shield I find myself giggling like a school girl when I land a successful banish. Off the unaware go to their deaths.

Normally I’m running greatsword, sword, and focus. Because that is what my build is about. I’ll also swap in mace/shield. I’m in clerics gear with according traits. No ascended gear but all exotic. Also all I do pretty much is WvWvW / solo or small groups.

Zerg vs Zerg (or solo vs large group): GS + Hammer
Utilities: Judge’s Intervention, WoR, Shelter / “Stand your ground”
AoE is the key.

Roaming: Hammer + 1h Sword and Shield.
Utilities: Hammer of Wisdom, Signet of Wrath, Judge’s Intervention.
Control is the key.

Quite frankly, although I don’t like staff in general, it’s very handy in wvw zerg action. Any altruistic healing build seems good enough to me. as a second hand weapond I’d recommand eitheir scepter + focus or greatsword. greatsword is awesome for solo against npcs, for taking supply camps and such. scepter is needed for catching a running theif ( I hate those), best if you are in a small group.. Either way. Knight guardians can make better tanks than p-v-t ones! good luck with your build.
