Guild Wars 2

so…im kinda trying out some stuff with guardian builds…
and i think this doesnt look too bad, but id like some feedback on it…
also i havent put in the traits yet because i was too lazy haha, my focus was mainly on the stats id get from weaps/armor

maybe someone can look into it?

i think it’s solid enough, but i do have one gripe: it’s generally considered bad practice to have an on-crit sigil and an on-swap sigil together, especially on the same set, mostly because they share cooldowns and the main hand will proc over the off hand. this is not to say i dont see your logic here, and it might even work, but you may want to rethink your sigil choices. for your gs, i would put in a sigil of bloodlust, force, or accuracy, as per your preferences. if the sigil set on your off set doesnt work out, you could still keep one of them and sub in a more static sigil like the one listed above.

but in general the survivability of the build is good enough rite? also ye i wasnt sure about the sigils either if it would work on the same set…i think in general it would be nice to keep the hydromancy on the shield, juz for the freeze, would give enough time to do either of the shield skills or to dodge away on low health…dont know personal feeling says its better than the aoe on the scepter…especially since i mainly use my ranged set for ranged when i need to get out of the danger zone for alill so aoe might not be the best bet lol…iunno think thatll be one to think over ye

btw would it be of any use to put a sigil of strenght on the GS to get might on crit or would i do more dmg by putting a bloodlust sigil in it… kinda trying to max out the build really…
normally i never really spend much time on builds lol i juz force myself to work with what i have…but since i really like my guard and all i want to get a decent build on it…
also dont know if it might help if i give some more specs on what im looking for
ofcourse im looking for survivability with some good dmg aswell… (thats why im also rooting for crit)
if im right the build i put up should have some pretty decent toughness but im slightly worried about my seemingly low hp…i dont know how much of a problem that will be tho

any critics on that?

don’t take zerker weapon, you lose more stats there. take zerker on your rings/accessories.

also, your builds performance will be something like mine, you can see my lol videos to get an idea.

i would say get your hp to around 15k-16k.

wait then what kind of weaps would you recommend? im kinda used to taking the zerker weaps when crits are involved lol

anything other than %crit dmg.

but of course if you don’t care about min-maxing your gear, then you can play it however you want.

it’s a small difference but i don’t know how much of a significant it will be.

my guess as to this differing stat:Crit% dmg is that it is to offset the divinity/celestial superior total stats.

so divinity runes + zerker acc’s and anything other than crit% on my weaps…because i do care about maxing out my gear in the best possible way…
just that im not sure about what to do on my weap stats then…maybe some PVT weaps or something?

there’s another problem, in that max stats doesn’t mean max performance.

so it boils down to what you want to play as. because divinity/celestial although has the most stats, is very spread.

you will never heal better than a cleric, you will never deal more dmg than a zerk, you will never hold better than a tank.

so you will be the jack of all trades master of none/balance.

also, i would recommend knights on weapons because i am biased

Crit dmg is a little low for my taste but looks solid. HP is lower than “average” but that’s dependent on your play style.

okay so maybe i should break it down…this is really my first attempt like i said to really look into a build…
what i want is to be a good tank but still do some pretty good damage… so basically hold out in dungeons but also be able to solo… (and i wanna try to take the build i get into wvw aswell…) im really a nuub when it comes down to this stuff so i dont know if anyone can help me out abit like maybe with existing builds or anything?
