Guild Wars 2

hey which should I use over the other?
Trying to make a PvP tank build.

Use the signet. It is much better and far more reliable. And it does not kill the pet.

if you have quite a good strong amount of Regen and Bark skin go with Protect Me but use it on a High hp pet like MoA/drake , hounds a bit risky so use a combination of drake+hound or MoA+wolf pop out the MoA then hit Protect me.

if you take beastmastery don;t use Taunt free willed be VERY CAREFUL, it will make the pet take even more damage as it becomes the focus of two damage sources the Taunted target and the incomming damage to yourself , even then a MoA or drake will struggle.

taking SoS is more for the Power ranger Route as its a direct Damage counter , Protect me Obsorbs , because people can just ignore SoS and wait it out then burst you.

people don’t notice Protect Me working so it obsorbs damage then putting opposing skills on cooldown that in turn improves your survival for Tank purposes due to the fact they have used the burst Attack or attack rotaitons to try and kill you.

protect me is harder to use than SoS as it requires smart use and set up.

For pvp, SoStone

Reason:
You can still cap a point with it.
You also get a small bit of toughness added to you and your pet.

With Protect Me, It’s a shout that prevents point capture contribution and does not offer any passives for having the skill on your bar.

SoStone: Doesn’t harm your pet, protects your pet as well, provides passive toughness, and can be traited to give Might on use.
