Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

I was wondering what builds for PvE are viable. I’ve been levelling my Elementalist (playing a Lightning Hammer Build) and the majority of people I know who play them usually go D/D Zerker.
Are there viable PvE (specifically Dungeons/Fractals/World Bosses) Support Builds or Condition Damage Builds (such as bleeds in Earth Attunement) or anything else?
If there are could you please give examples or links to them, as I’d be interested in trying something other than the cookie cutter builds that the majority use. Being the highest damage, etc., isn’t my priority, I’d rather play a fun build that I’d enjoy, even just different takes on the more common builds.

Hi there!

We are a relatively new, constantly growing guild on the Ruins of Surmia (EU) server with around 40+ members at the time of this post. We aim to create a friendly and open community for people within the game. Our leaders and members are always willing to help with dungeons, group events, map completion, world bosses, jumping puzzles or anything else you may need.

Although we are mainly PvE based and enjoy lots of Dungeons, FotM, World Bosses, etc., we also do some WvW and sPvP.

Despite having only been together a short time we’re working very quickly towards getting Guild Missions and will have our Guild Bounty Training ready quite soon.

We’re looking to expand our Guild with friendly new members who are interested in taking part in guild activities, events and missions and want a relaxed environment to play in. We aren’t strict at all when it comes to your level, experience of the game, activity, or anything like that, we’re happy to have and help anyone!

If you have any questions or would like to join, feel free to either reply here or send me a message in-game!

Hi there,

I’m in the process of levelling my Guardian to 80 and have found that I enjoy using the Sword/Shield combo a lot, probably the most out of any of the weapons Guardians can use, I like them all, but I find Sword/Shield the most fun.
I was wondering if they’re viable for proper end-game use (PvE/Dungeons/FotM, etc., not WvW/sPvP) instead of something like that Greatsword? It seems the Greatsword is the favoured weapon, but it would be nice not to be forced into using that to do well.

I was also wondering whether going quite tanky/supporty was particularly viable in PvE/Dungeons/FotM, because the majority of Guardians I see are all full DPS zerker ones.
