hey DanDan, if you’re sticking with the crithammer build as laid out in this thread, i want to argue that Knight’s is probably one of the easier ones to start off with. if you feel the need to boost your HP a bit, you can maybe opt for the chest and pants with pow/vit/tough from AC. the toughness helps you mitigate a lot of direct dmg (not conditions) so in a sense, and with a lower health pool, you need to heal “less” to make up for the dmg you’re taking and with the more “constant” stream of small heals with AH, you should be okay. (and as always, avoid / dodge out of the big hits). you can have plenty of condition removal to get rid of conditions.
i recently put together a set focused on healing power (mix of magi and cleric’s gear) but i felt it doesn’t work as well with your trait set up (i currently run 0/0/30/30/10). but you can give it a shot, since you have a lot of AC badges. i tried this set up with pow vit tough armour as well, but again, i missed having a higher crit chance, though i know there are some who did it and felt it worked more than fine for them in full PVT gear and knight’s trinkets. (make sure to take the toughness to precision trait – retributive armour? if you do go this route)
you really want to have a decent crit chance % for this to work as effective as possible (around 40%+ might be a good balancing point from my own experience).
p.s. look into omnomberry pies and ghosts for the extra chance to steal health in tandem with your blood hammer for even better effects. : )) sigil of accuracy is a good choice for your GS.
Thanks Brutaly for such inspirational guide.
This guide made me dusted off my Guardian and lv him to 80
Thanks Akamon for your reply.
I reached 80 yesterday and with the following setup.
Chest and Legging – Exotic Knight
Helm, Shoulder, hands and boots – AC healing
Hammer, GS – Berserker from CoF
Accessories – Exotic knight with Emerald Orb
I did not use any Rune at this moment and used Emerald Orb x 6 for now.
I have over 50% crit chance.
Healing around 480
Power is a bit low but acceptable…..since I can stack Might pretty easily.
So far so good and test it out more.
