Guild Wars 2

i play a similiar style to what you’re after, whilst not as powerful as say a straight out dps warrior , i can hold my own in orr pretty well, did a test last weekend? or the one before , i can’t remember but i can came out ontop against a group of 7 mobs in cursed shore.
weapons wise i went greatsword with mace and focus as secondary.

thing with the guardian is that you have to play with the mindset that a good defense is a great offense and not the other way around (which is feasible, just other classes are best suited for a more pure dps playstyle as dmg output is higher).

Oh cool, do you mind sharing your build dronzer?

okay! thanks for your answers guys!

Hey guys, I’m pretty new to the game but I really like the play style of the guardian. Able to tank and dish out dps at the same time. For some reason I decided to role a ranger for my main and I’ve gotten really bored of it. So I’ve decided to do what my heart tells me and to roll a Guardian. I’ve also read on the forums that hammers have been improved for the Guardian and I enjoy heavy weapons so it was a no brainer. I really like to do dps but still have enough tanking ability to take on mobs without worrying about my health all that much. So I was wondering does anyone have a good dps yet tanky build for the Guardian? I would like to use Hammer as my main weapon too.. so what should I use as my secondary? Thanks for the feedback!
