Here is my current build. Large burst damage with some group utility.

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/warrior/?8.0|7.1g.h1.7.1g.h4|4.1g.h4|1g.7x.1g.7x.1g.7x.1g.7x.1g.7x.1g.7x|1g.67.1g.67.1g.67.1g.64.1g.64.1g.64|u58a.5.f0.k28.0|2e.1|0.0.0.0.0|e

I run Healing Surge, Shake It Off, For Great Justice, Endure Pain, Signet of Rage.

I am hoping to primarily PvE in Dungeons.

How would I improve this or does it look good?

Kvarn Kleftjaw – Axe/Warhorn, Axe/Mace
Norn Warrior, Yak’s Bend

You would do more dmg over all just by switching 10 from strength into discipline and grabbing either signet mastery or heightened focus (your choice but if u use signet of rage/another signet, i suggest signet of mastery). and take 5 out from arms into discipline as well for fast hands as it is far more useful for warriors than anything else in the trees at 15 points. Either that or put 10 points more into vit for the heals on shout. I think your a little branched out in a difficult way.

There is a lot to improve but the skeleton is good.

1) First thing first. Stop being afraid of conditions.
In 99% of endgame content conditions are rather trivial/ignorable and you won’t need more than one condition removal (I run frac46 with 0 removal so…).
Plus some classes turn conditions to boons which is much better.
I suggest Boon Duration runes for near-permanent SoR upkeep or Ruby Orbs.

2) Sigil of bloodlust relies on you never downing which is detrimental in high-end PvE.
You’ll always be scared of downing so you’ll never deal as much DPS as an high rish taker, plus you can’t abuse the trick to rally on adds/trash.
I really suggest sigil of force. +5% dmg forever is reliable and solid, and gives you 250 Epower.
You can keep bloodlust (tough perception is better if you stack 100% crit chance) on your secondary set.

3) Lung capacity is not needed if you don’t go shout healing (and I hope you don’t, really), Adren Health isn’t worth 15 points waste either.
I would go 20 disc for 9% crit chance/signet trait/fast hands, and 10 arms for Furious Reaction (Vigor > Adren health).

With these changes you are pretty much ready for frac46 (assuming you have the experience for it tho!), have fun.

1. changes if you are running a Pub or with a not as experienced group.
I hate when guardians don’t know how to play their class. I bring
6. Mending
7. FGJ / Endure Pain
8. Shake it Off
9. Signet of Stamina
0. Signet of Rage

I find this build to be perfect because it provides a decent heal, 5 condition removals, 1 stun break, and 50% extra dodges. Now, if we have a guardian that actually knows what the hell he is doing, you could get a bit sexy with your skill choice…
Unfortunately, most of them just focus on themselves and a lot of them try going full DPS. That’s great and all, but pure DPS guardian? You might as well go Warrior… T_T

Nah, I run pugs all the times and there is never need for condition removal in frac.
The only place conditions are not a mere nuisance is Imbued but removing burning is pretty much useless as it gets reapplied all the times by either Imbued cheese spams or lava fonts or AoEs… but even there SIO is enough for me.
Thinking about it, the only place I really wanted more condition removal is CM due to those pesky bleed spamming Thieves you find underground.

But yeah, full DPS Guardians are brrrrr terribad.
They don’t deal remotely our damage nor support so what’s the point? Bleh.
Not sure what’s worse between those and shout healers.
