Guild Wars 2

People talk about thieves and mesmers being a pain in the kitten but I find that the guardian (a well built one) is the hardest class for a Warrior to kill. Even if you go glass cannon, hundred blades will not 1 shot most guardians, at most maybe get them down to 1/4 of their HP (if you are lucky and they don’t block all your CC or break out of stun.

They block like every 3rd of your attack, constantly have protection and retaliation so you do like 1k crits and 400 normal damage while taking damage yourself. Whatever little damage you do to them, they can heal it up rather easily as well. Going melee against them is like a death sentence as their greatsword can pack a punch and eventually they will wear you down with burns and retaliation. I find it kind of frustrating.

I am wondering if anybody else has the same problems with guardians as I am having, they are too tanky for me to deal reliable DPS. It seems like the best way is to CC them somehow, pop frenzy and try to burst them down as quickly as possible with any wep, but by the time frenzy comes up again they will be at full health.

Does any1 have any tips to fighting Guardians, except maybe running or to zerg them?

You won’t “zerg” good guardian. You can go with Axe*Mace till they spend all blocks, heals and aegis, and then try to knocdown them and finish off with quick burst before they get defensive again. Same goes with D/D elems, and option is the same: You can go with rifle. Keepin at bay seems legit

Rym.1469:

You won’t “zerg” good guardian.

FTFY: As a Warrior you won’t “survive” against a good Guardian.
