Tarsius.3170:

Zerker guard can usually be effective against warriors, provided you’re quick with active defenses

Hammer warrior: Make sure you have good access to stability and/or stunbreakers. Hammer skills are very clearly telegraphed and the combos are quite easy to predict once you’ve fought them a few times – so timing dodges can mitigate a ton of damage.

GS/Bow: hundred blades is only a problem if you take it to the face – dodge behind him and unload your damage while he’s standing there like a lemon. Bow can be tricky to counter if he decides to kite you, so either try speed runes or scepter to get in close and maintain some pressure of your own.

Don’t stand in combustive shot’s area of effect.

Blind is your friend.

You haven’t mentioned what weapons you prefer using. Sword 3 can absorb projectiles in a tight spot.

woops! sorry! i forgot to mention the types of weapon that i use.

i use greatsword with energy sigil and sigil of accuracy ( just wanna hit 70%+ of crit chance ) sword and focus with sigil of energy and sigil of fire. i also swap sword with scepter but i feel like scepter really doesn’t do that much damage.

been trying figure out how to beat hammer warr and gs/bow warr but no luck..

where should i start..

hammer warr, with their OP stuns and knockdowns..

gs/bow warr, to OP hundred blades and then pressures you down with combustive shot and blah blah blah…

i tried dps healing/retaliation build no luck

tried pure zerker still no luck..

now my medi build (0/6/6/2/0) is showing a lil bit of “luck” since there are times when i was able to down him. but it took a long while and i had to be very careful.

i noticed that warriors with this kind of build can easily take down guards.. but guards….

is it me or warrs are just to OP and needs nerfing..

any tips regarding this one?

hello to all guards out there..

so i’ve been trying all kinds of builds with my guardian that really works well with doing solo roaming in wvw and 1 v 1 fights. (not much of a spvp guy) and i find medi build quite fun but takes a lot of concentration and perfect skill timing. at most times i get owned by mesmers, eles and warriors. specially warriors using bow and hammers.

2/0/6/6/0

zeal: I
valor: V VI XII
honor: III IX VII

food: mangopie
utility: Potent Master Maintenance oil

i am using 3 knights and 3 berserkers ( all ascended ) with dolyak runes.

3 pvt trinkets and 3 zerkers.

using zerker with my sunrise with 2 sigils ( energy and accuracy )

i use scepter with energy sigil and focus with sigil of fire.

i like this build because has tons of survivability because of dolyak gives 45 regen per sec, mango pie 88 per sec, and virtue of resolve 108 per sec. a total of 241 regeneration per sec.

and i see some pro guards on youtube running same build as mine and keep owning people. but when i tried doing roaming in wvw, i get owned pretty easily to almost any class. it is very frustrating..

now, am i missing something here? or..

please need help.. am open for suggestions.. if you guys have anything to say then im all ears.

specially to the pro guards out there.. please help me with this.

thanks

anet should clarify this issue. i’ve been playing my norn since day 1 and i really felt something is not right with my damage. i was searching for a wvw build for guardian and i found a clip on youtube. the guard in the vid was a human guard. we both have the same gears and stats i noticed how he can dish out 3-4k crits easily even when he is not in between the players. i did hundreds of tests and the results really tell that there is something wrong with norn’s whirling wrath. i already sent anet a report on this issue 3 days ago. and this was anet’s reply…

and say what? non-issue?

i hope this issue will get fixed on the next patch..

i am currently experiencing this issue right now. anet please…. fix this issue

cape skin for backpiece or armor skin that has cape.

how about cool animations in some of the expensive but not legendary exotics like the “volcanus.”

it surely wouldn’t hurt if anet would put some awesome flaming animations on skills when wielding the volc (or any other type of weapon that has elemental animations ). like when using a guardian skill (whirling wrath) instead of those blue projectiles, how about flaming projectiles?

Upon previewing the staff skin to my female guard, it really goes well with my light of dwayna backpiece. many players missed the kasmeer staff skin (including me). many players also want it back in gem store. so ANET, please bring it back.

also, it would be much cooler if anet would make another weapon skin with much more “angelic” looks.

thanks.
