Guild Wars 2

Hello fellow guardians!

I have been trying to find my build ever since this speclization patch came out!
I feel like I die sooner and have become useless to my team in spvp and WvW. (which I mostly play now)

I used to play medi tank, using armor with mostly healing power and power. I usually use a GS and don’t typcially mind what my secondary weapon setup is. I really like sword and focus or sceptor focus.

Anyway my main point here is, what is a good build to get my tanky abilities back? I feel like its gone I die so quick now. My question for you all is to help me figure out what build would help me tank better. I usually try to run a build like this:

All input is welcome, even negative. Thanks in advance all.

I think making symbols move along with the guardian so that way symbols can do what they what they were intended to do. To make it fair you may have to balance duration to make it a balanced trait of you make it follow the guardian as he moves. I love symbols and in any instance other than pve doesn’t seem to really make up for any other kind of build. I’m not one to be too interested in a burn build. I feel as a supportive character like a guard, symbols and wards to assist players around us should be the main focus point. Bunker and medi seem to be the best example of this.

I agree. I don’t like having to target the ground just to use it. Most of the time you’ll need it right where you are anyway.

I am doing precision healing power atm and loving it. I have a ton of healing power and the mace/shield is almost a must in dungeons with a lot of melee. My main armor goes, healing power, precision and vitality. which makes me very tanky and able to take a big hit while regening it back pretty quickly. This and giving myself the protection from the shield and mace skills keeps me beefy enough for most fights.

Yes you almost need to run with some sort of ranged weapon scepter gives you the most range and for some bosses you HAVE to range if you don’t you completely doom your group to death. I do and have however run completely with GS and sword/shield combo for most dungeons until requiring ranged combat, then I go GS and scepter/shield. Don’t need to specialize in any ranged combat but be prepared to use it from time to time.
