Guild Wars 2

Post your favorite weapon and why it’s so awesome below!

For me, I’ve played the Guardian for about 900 hours in beta + post-release. I’ve tried every possible combination, and I can’t decide which one is my favorite.

Hammer.

Protection + Short CD blast finisher/aoe/leap (gives aoe retaliation from the protection symbol) + Roots in a line + Knockbacks (with one of the most satisfying sounds in the game) + RoW <- only part that needs fixing with people being able to get out of it so easily atm… but I think that’s more due to a bug in how things operate and will be fixed at some point.

Shield
No other weapon can make 5 kills in WvWvW with 1 button , near a cliff
Mostly sword /shield combination – or scepter shield.
Also because i feel more like an tank with shield equiped

Shield #4 has the most reliable damage : fair amount, good aoe, low casting time. I use it quite often in WvW but not that much in PvE/sPvP.

Great Sword.

Its classic awesomeness, Big Norn with Big Sword!

plus GS #5 is very useful in pve,
Has a symbol on demand
AND
great leaping blind

im starting to like sword+shield , aplying blind + vulnerability + fire
for the 2nd weapon im changing mace to a traited hammer

Mace / Torch is my personal favorite Guardian weapon combo. Mace gives good defense, and Torch picks up the offensive slack (namely Zealot’s Flame). Zealot’s Flame works wonderfully well with Mace since Mace is definately going to be at melee range and probably within groups of enemies, ideal for ZF. Furthermore Zealot’s Flame can activate between attacks without interrupting since its a 0-cast ability, which is good since Mace is a bit on the sluggish side, so interrupting your attacks is bad. Block + AoE burn? AoE burn while throwing down a symbol? Yes please.

Sword/Torch with Scepter/Focus

Sword built with crit and healing sigil and food is nice damage output and a good amount of healing. Torch is there to keep Buring going, decent sustained damage. Torch5 is nice for frontal AOE that gives crit healing also.

Blood~

Sword/Focus – fast attacks with a plenty of defense, & a gap closer on a low CD. plus, with my build lots of blind & vulnerability.

Also, swords look cool.

Big fan of sword/focus. Blinds and teleports! Fun!

Hammer follows closely after. Having a blast finisher on a 4 second cool down is just plain awesome.

Staff. + 15 (+ 3 on virtue) stacks of might x 5, speed boost, heals from the orb and empower, CC. Very versatile.

Sword & Shield and a Hammer.

PVE/Dungeon – mace/shield – staff
WvWvW – hammer – staff
