Guild Wars 2

My lvl 80 Charr Guardian!

I agree that the Hammer is pretty kittened at the moment compared to the Greatsword, that why I take both into WvW and dominate with it. They compliment eachother amazingly.

For scepter/torch you want to put a lot more emphasis on your condition dmg, you have a lot of abilities that will leave burning on them and IMO it’s best to maximize without sacrificing power.

If you’re playing anything outside of a staff guardian, healing is all but useless for us.

With our virtues plus #6 heal, we have enough survivability without dropping points into +healing, if you HAVE to sink points somewhere outside of power/condition dmg, throw it in toughness.

Lack of DPS whut?

Precision building with a Greatsword? The first 4 skills of a Greatsword Guardian are completely DPS oriented with 2 AoEs, and a gap closer, plus if you build your utilities around consecrations, you are a force to be reckoned with, add to that if you gem your gear appropriately with Emeralds, you get your power/precision with a little toughness thrown in. Or better yet, Rubies for the extra crit dmg.

I don’t mean to sound like a jerk or anything, but please be sure to exhaust all options before complaining about your class, it will only make you seem like you can’t think for yourself.

Being a level 80, I stopped my personal story quest at around 40-45, it just became too much of a hassle to try and complete it.

On several missions I had to resort to ‘Z pathing’, essentially jumping on and off stairs of different height as to make the mobs have to path all the way down the stairs and around, then all the way back, downing them from range. I don’t think I should have to do that to kill some mobs <.<

Although, after crafting my Berserker gear, I will go back and give it another shot, if it’s still this hard, well then ArenaNet will be the first company to make me rage at PvE content since Twin Emps in Vanilla WoW.
