Guild Wars 2

as the title says!

at lv 80 how does a staff wielding burn guard perform in event zergs?
where tagging mobs is important.

i’ve played around in pvp with a Permeating Wrath / Supreme Justice build and the burn stacks are insane, but i’m wondering how a build like this fares in pve event zergs.

i’ve got enough tomes of knowledge to instantly get afew lv80s and i’m wondering if my guard should be one of them!

thanks in advance

stand behind a gate getting rammed by a wvw zerg and spam staff 1. i recommend LoW for a heal so retal doesnt kill u

pretty kitten viable especially with a friend xD

works well.
personally I also run sinsiter but with medi utilites. Port in with kittenite conditions + traited and medi heal works well to dish out fast damage and many stacks.

I run this:

adding in communal defense and zeal is also pretty effectiv to get a hugh damage burst and many aoe hits. however it will cost you radiance which is not that bad imo because you can run kindled zeal. to make the mos of it: if you open up with Ji and smite condition and have aegis on you can look at the CD of smite condition (16s). if its ready again you know communal defense is back up to at which point you can activate retreat or f3 if needed and enough targets are there. sigil of fire is very important since it adds hits twords f1 passiv. sigil of mischief does also 4 hits and they have more range then geomency or hydromancy which would be fine too. Rune of the mad king are for the #6 effect whcih will cause 3 birds to swoop down, everyone delivering 16 hits to a target. so essentially this could cause 16 stacks of burn on three targets close to each other.

woah i hadn’t thought about mad king runes for the birds :O
also nice build

Why dont you just try it, lol?

Guardian staff has always been the best tagging weapon in the game since release. Adding fire on top doesnt exactly hurt.

The only “problem” is when you are fighting tougher mobs – a full damage Guardian is probably the glassiest class in the game next to Thief.
