some question about post patch
Guard traits are incredibly broken at the moment… so the Meta is in flux until its completely fixed and reenabled.
Wanna see how broken?
You don’t even wanna know what they can do to structures.
Like Starlinvf said a lot of stuff will change as Anet rebalance the game after the huge changes. Also, so many stuff is different that we gonna need time to test different build and see what is the best. We still don’t know exactly what the value of condition guardian right now. They used to be terrible with some viable hybrid build, but now we don’t really know for sure.
But at least to start :

Personnally, I still prefer Hammer instead of GS while using Valor/Virtue/Honor with Beserker amulet. That give me less vitality, but more dodge. I’ll have a bit less dps, but I just love too much the cc from Hammer.

Actually the bug of the symbols (the trait that apply a increased damage on the enemy on the symbol add the damage for Every symbol under the enemy) is “fixed”. ANet had set that the trait don’t work XD
Then, there’s no more a OP damage from the guardian broken build.
Actually the Guardian is in a good spot (for real this time!).
There’s different builds for different situations and playstyles.
I play condition with carrion, sword/focus and scepter/torch, trait of radiance, valor and virtue, full meditation. it’s the new condition build (one of the many) that you can do. Actually the burn damage is very high and the guardian is the best class to apply it.
In spvp I can deal 4-5k/sec of burn, more in pve. (and I can deal a good direct damage with the power in the carrion equip and the passive/active critical rate from traits and fury).
There’s always the dps direct damage build, that work very well.
And the “old but gold” supporter build with shouts (and now with the new Op elite shout that grant wuickness and fury!), good in fractal and www (and to bunker in spvp).
Actually there’s not a real “meta” for the guardian, like for all the other classes. But there’s a large amount of good builds that you can try and make.
have fun to make new builds all by yourself that fits your playstyle.

Right now I’m finding it very difficult to take any damage at all. regardless of weather I have zerk or pvt… I was in TA & 1 hit from 1 volley from the spider boss brought me down more than half. I’m gobsmacked at what I’m doing wrong. My friend is playing a Necro & she can out-tank me any day of the week, without lifting a finger.

You linked a video that is pre-patch.
And then a video showcasing an utterly broken trait that was disabled more than 24 hours before your post…

So I stop paying attention for 1 day. And it took you 4 days to comment on that…… so yeah, whose the slow poke now?
