Guild Wars 2

hi my name is gamberetti im an guardian but i think i got the heart of a warrior. So i wanna change my heart, so here comes my Q : what makes a guardian good/great? in every way

A Guardian can be the best tank of the game, or one of it and grant good support to it’s party.
At last, a guardian can be a good dps.
The Guardian is one of the best healing class of the game and can survive where other classes can’t.
And the Guardian is cool U_U

(p.s. sorry for my bad english)

It can negate massive amounts of damage if played well.

Well tank, no. That is not true Warrior can do that role bether, although i don’t know why you would want to. In a PvE point of view. Why tank when you can dps the sanity out of the mob.

Support, well im not gonig to say we are bad, if you use focus for blind, wall of reflection and condition removal in the shout you are an ok support.

The healing part i don’t really understand, the game is not designed to have a dedicated healer and if there ever was one. As of the current abilitys it is either Warrior shout / banner or Elementalist. Not a Guardian, our only heal that is good is the dodge one.

And dps, no. I mean, no. If you play Guardian for damage then you are in to be disappointing, we got the lowest overall damage in the game. I mean it is even lower than Randy Newman, perhaps he should try and raise the bar slightly.

So what makes us so good. Well we do have Hammer for perma protection in melee.
Focus for rather dependent blind and ok regen with a awesome blocking ability.
shield for a rather ok projectile blocker.
Mace for reliable blocking and minor healing.
We have staff for, doing staffy things.
We have GS for unreliable damage and cleansing.

And that is about it, if you want “Damage” as a guardian, it is either 1h Sword or Scepter, Scepter should win under perfect performance.

And what makes us great is the aoe blind on F1 virtue, AoE Aegis although slightly unreliable, and the amount of Group stability we can throw out.
