Guild Wars 2

hello to all guards out there..

so i’ve been trying all kinds of builds with my guardian that really works well with doing solo roaming in wvw and 1 v 1 fights. (not much of a spvp guy) and i find medi build quite fun but takes a lot of concentration and perfect skill timing. at most times i get owned by mesmers, eles and warriors. specially warriors using bow and hammers.

2/0/6/6/0

zeal: I
valor: V VI XII
honor: III IX VII

food: mangopie
utility: Potent Master Maintenance oil

i am using 3 knights and 3 berserkers ( all ascended ) with dolyak runes.

3 pvt trinkets and 3 zerkers.

using zerker with my sunrise with 2 sigils ( energy and accuracy )

i use scepter with energy sigil and focus with sigil of fire.

i like this build because has tons of survivability because of dolyak gives 45 regen per sec, mango pie 88 per sec, and virtue of resolve 108 per sec. a total of 241 regeneration per sec.

and i see some pro guards on youtube running same build as mine and keep owning people. but when i tried doing roaming in wvw, i get owned pretty easily to almost any class. it is very frustrating..

now, am i missing something here? or..

please need help.. am open for suggestions.. if you guys have anything to say then im all ears.

specially to the pro guards out there.. please help me with this.

thanks

just practice more youre probably just bad at the game atm

not always about the build (although that does tend to help a lot) it’s more about your play style and finding a build that suits that. If you have a very glassy build, you need to know when to engage and when to gtfo of a fight and in what manner to do so. Guild Wars 2 is an extremely diverse game in the amount of builds that there are available so to ask “can this build counter any class” is quite honestly a joke in itself. Anyone can pick up a meta build, slap it on their level 80 with all ascended gear and still suck at the play style. It’s all about practice, evaluation and improvement. My advice to you is start recording your own gameplay and if you lose fights, watch it back and see what you did wrong and use that as a learning tool.
Hope this helps,

I wouldn’t use the symbol traits with just a gs even with the reduction. 6 seconds up with 16 second recharge sounds fantastic but guards have very few ways to keep people in the symbol. Also if you’re running triple meds I wouldn’t pass up the recharge trait vs purity. The overall increase in healing is well worth it. If you want the points in honor I’d take the 3k health over symbols in wvw 1 v 1 or put them 5 into radiance for the blind and 5 into virtues. But at that point it’s personal preference.
