Guild Wars 2

So, after getting my Ranger to 80 I’ve decided to start a Guardian. After skipping levels 10-20 (thanks Cooking) I’m now at 25 and have been messing around with some builds and talking to some people in LA. From what I can tell, almost every Guardian is different. Everyone likes a different play-style and this class offers a wide array of both defensive and offensive options.

After being a tank in most MMOs I’ve played it seems like this class is going to be fun! So I went to the Heart of the Mists just to test on the dummies and my build seems pretty fun although I’m not sold on some things. Take a look.

I really like the Consecration skills and will probably go with them no matter what. The only thing that makes me a bit uneasy is the staff. The damage from the staff is, terrible, to say the least. I know I’m not supposed to be a warrior or anything but the damage seems a bit lacking. I feel, even at this low level, myself constantly switching between my staff to put a ward down and swapping back to my mace to actually kill something.

I’ve also been experimenting with the greatsword which seems like one of the best weapons for a Guardian. So, any advice*? Tips?

*Before you ask, yes I’ve used Scepter and it just does not really fit my play-style. I want to be in mid-melee range and have a lot of defensive abilities.
