Guild Wars 2

Thank you for the replies. For traits, I was thinking 30 Honor, 30 Valor, and 10 Radiance. I’m not sure how that’ll work, as I haven’t looked up what unlocks down the line yet.

For now, I’ve taken to using Sword and Shield for one set, and a Mace and Shield in the other. I know it sounds goofy, but I’ve actually taken a liking to it.

So I’ve been playing a Thief since launch, and decided I wanted a class with a little more utility and survivability. I decided to run a Guardian with a Sword and Shield, as I prefer it aesthetically (always been a fan of the Sword & Board types). I’ve heard it suggested that I should be using a sword with a focus, but I’ve no interest in using one.

Am I limiting myself too much by doing this? Do note, it’s not my objective to TANK specifically, I just want to be of use to a group, do decent damage, and be able to take the hits.

Would I be better off rolling a Warrior for sword and shield before leveling my Guardian further?
