Guild Wars 2

As stated, I hvae a guardian at level 80, which i’m now past my personal story, and it’s time to start learning to play.

I mostly play PvE with dungeons being the vast majority of it, as well as some Orr solo farming.

What I had in mind is a build based on the knight’s set from SE explore which balances good survivability with moderate damage output. I don’t expect to be as hard as a tank, nor to out dps the dps focused characters.

I want to be able to survive through more attacks than others, but not to lag too much behind in damage.

My point of origin is 4.5 years of WoW tanking, which I loved doing. In most raid encounters I out dps’ed the low dpsers.

I’m still new to GW2, and I would certainly consider changing the way I think (such as trying a different than knight concept, more healing, etc.).

What I ask is guidelines for a build as well as gear focus. I mean what set should I go for with what build, what will it benefit, and such.

Thanks in advance for any tip you may think of.
