Q:

hi all,
preety much my first OP so be kind!!
been playing gw2 for 500h on differnt characters, mostly a warrior.
Now, my girlfriend decided to get a copy herself…
ok let’s explain that she has never played an MMO, never even a videogame afaik!

When was time to choe profession with some regrets in mid for warrior (bit too simple) i said to go for guardian since s supposed to be not-so-squishy.

Surprisingly she is cap 80 in 104h of gameplay (but don’t tell her i helped somehow!!), now i just toke her out for shopping, and we bought a nice leve 80 berserker’s rare set, bsk greatsword and bsk scepter and torch.

tis is the build she is using up to now:

preety much copyed from:
http://guildwars.incgamers.com/blog/comments/greatsword-guardian-leveling-build

for which i thank the author!!!

From now on we’l be playingmostly PVE in orr-frostgorge and i’d like to get her into dungeons and fractals..

what i’m looking for is a good build for both pve and dungeons.

point is:
-she is not hardcore player so she’ll never have $$ for 5 different exo sets, so i’ll have to pay in that case!!
- is ok to switch weapons like scepter with mace or staff but gs is mandatory for her!

After the trait build, allso what is the exo armor/rune thinkret you would spend 30g for your gf for pve/dungeon??
up to now with berserker gear she had no problem in pve up to lvl75, but i’m afraid that she is too squishy for orr, and not effective in dungeon.

P.S.
i never played guardian on my own so don call me heretic for possible bad advices!!

thanks!!

read my guide regarding altruisitic healing and buy her a new outfit, berserkers are to skilldemanding in fractals/dungeons and especially for a newbie in mmos.

Knights gear and accessories and rune of soldier and a shout build is all she needs.

Either hammer or GS as main weapon and a scepter and a staff as secondary and she is good to go in all kinds of pve.

just echo-ing what Brutaly wrote here ^^^.
can definitely vouch for this build and the guide put together. it’s really in-depth and provides a lot of overall good info, not just for the specific build, but to the Guardian class as a whole.

for easy reference, it’s the stickied guide up top:
