Guild Wars 2

6/6 Sup. Rune of the Soldier works with every shout every time.

Elki.7315:

Here’s my human guardian. I finished the skin earlier, and I’m quite proud of it. I was using the tier 2 human shoulders previously, but I prefer these ones in the end.

:p

Working on a new color scheme, though. I always resort back to these colors when I try to find something new so perhaps I’ve found my end result.

So I’m looking for some expert critique on my build.

I’ve been playing my Guardian pretty extensively for a couple months now trying different things but I’m still a little uneasy about it. It feels a little too balanced but maybe that’s how it should be.

Current stats:
Power – 2,147
Precision – 1,348
Toughness – 1,786
Vitality – 1,546

Attack – 3,247
Crit – 25% chance / 20% damage
Armor – 2,962
Health – 17,447

My gear is a tad mismatched as it’s a work in progress. I crafted all my gear as Knight gear with 3 Knight gems and 3 Cleric gems (what I had available, was mostly as a placeholder) but I’m working to slowly replace it with Soldier gear (power/tough/vit), so far just the shoulders have been updated. Also haven’t decided on my Rune set just yet, leaning mostly towards Superior Rune of the Soldier. Also all my trinkets are power/tough/vit items. And I use an exotic GS (power/tough/vit).

It’s a somewhat solid build, I don’t have too much trouble in dungeons but I could certainly use more survivability. By switching from Knight → Soldier I will definitely increase my survivability while sustaining (and improving, to a degree) my damage output. I know it’s an unusual build but it works very well for me and I enjoy it. I have plenty of fight control with 2 blind abilities, I am constantly utilizing my virtues, I try to keep burns up though I do feel like this is a pointless effort since I don’t have any dedication to precision or radiance.
