Hello all.

First of all I am a member of a guild that do WvW everyday and we have something like a Elite Squad, a group of 15~20 and the focus is wipe zergs with 30 + .
I am a Guardian Support of my team and I was trying to understand what is better for support, my gear is Full Power Toughness Vitality with some exquisite sapphire jewel and I am in a doubt between to weapons: greatsword / staff or hammer / staff.

The base of my build is : 0/0/30/30/10 and I don’t want to change this traits.
Actually I am using this build with staff/hammer. I don’t know if it is better change some traits or put greatsword so I need to know your opinion.
Hammer/Staff build

I would definitely go hammer. It gives protection to allies every chain and retaliation every time you use the 1+2 combo.
GS only gives retaliation every 16 sec I think.

Depends… If they’re using you as a back-up pusher, go Greatsword. If you’re dedicated support then stick with the hammer for water blasts
