hello, as it says on the title I used to have a guardian and a war and I’m about to come back to GW2 after the crap experience with archage….what was I thinking!!!
I’m aware that so much stuff has changed: traits being reworked, runes are now different etc.
So i was wondering if someone could be so patient to give me an idea of:
1. How do guardians do in WvW?
2. What are the current meta builds?
3. I used to play with GS + SW and board….how are they now?
Many thanks

In large scale staff/hammer or gs with hold the line, stamd your ground and PF with virtou recharge elite.
00464 build with glacial hearth if you have hammer (now thats a good trait), ah and trait f3 for stability.if you trait well you can make 13 sec stability for 5 men.
Runes: troopers not in line anymore because warrior traited horn, purging flames and so on… Use strenght or melandru. Double enery sigil is must have and now you need a bloodlust sigil in your weapon and your underwater weapon sets. If you put bloodlust sigil weapon in your inventory you loos stacks. Put an int or fire or chill (or what fits your teams style)

WSR→Piken→Deso→Piken→FSP→Deso

Guardians do pretty good in WvW and there’s a couple of viable builds

Greatsword is an excellent option but Sword and Shield never really was. In larger groups, Guardians are expected to carry a Staff.

It really hasn’t changed much though note that two handed weapons have 2 sigils

These zerg builds should look familiar; examples only, there are numerous minute changes that can be made depending if you want more stability or condition clear.

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

GS and S/F are good for small scale meditation builds, but shield is still just as bad as ever (or worse, technically, after the ‘bug fix’).
