Violette Glory [Warrior]
Bala Rama [Herald]
I’m looking for a WvW Zerging build that revolves around the hammer [preferably Staff as secondary, though it's optional...]
My goal is to dish out decent damage while being able to support my group and take a lot of damage P:
Notes: I find shouts boring and I don’t wanna use them. I don’t have access to Ascended gear at all [No time to grind for it :\] I can get a full set of exotics though...
I’m just now starting to rediscover my Guardian after I’ve left him for a lot of time, and I’m having lots of fun with the hammer as it feels so powerful :P
Suggestions for a build please?
You could try this:
In my experience during WvW zerging you probably will use Staff more often, although you’ll be switching to Hammer every now and then for Ring of Warding and Mighty Blow. Stand Your Ground is probably one of the best utilities a guardian has for WvW but if you really hate shouts that much you could possibly use Hallowed Ground instead.
You absolutely need stand your ground. It isnt an option.

AH is good but its a crutch.
Thanks for the replies
I think I got a hang of a pretty good build. Similar to Noah’s, only I’ve made some personal tweaks [Don’t like to use Virtues that much…..]
I’ve got something like this:

What do you think?
The major think I’m unsure of is the Rune … any suggestions about which rune I should use? [Melandru is too expensive and Soldier is a nice option, but I seems like a waste when I only have 1 shout

Yesterday they announced that runes are going to change in the near future. So until that time you might be better off with something cheap and easy to get. Soldier runes would indeed not be very useful if you are planning on using only one shout.
I do recommend those 20 points in Virtues though, even if you hate using them. Conditions are heavy in WvW zergs and Absolute Resolution is the best condition cleanser we have. Especially if you don’t use shouts and soldier runes.
read whats “stickied”, its there for a reason!
Oh whatever you end up running turn off your hammer auto attack chain – that way you can control when to place your light field. Nothing is worse then overwriting a water field and wiping your team.
edit: sigil of stamina is the best zerging sigil for any class. try it out, if it doesnt get nerfed.
