Guild Wars 2

Don’t spose the op’er has tried the defender runes? Assuming you (or “someone”) has, was it better than Altruism? (For solo AH s/f w/ mace/focus offhand)

Found the “gear building” aspect in PvP menu, & was able to test most of this. Hoping they add the missing runes/sigils (rune of defender, for ex) to PvP. But I think I “fixed” my delima- Go zerg ammy (needs real-time testing) for pvp, & my hybrid build for pve (see link below, for the pve setup).

Note: Will update as I find changes needed to be done. I may swap the “sigil of perception” for “force” on mace/focus (ie: just a stat builder/long-term fights). I may also swap “Rune of the Defender” w/ “Altruism” (effectively 100% chance of: 3x might+ fury boost+negate dmg x3+maj heal every 30s)

Will also test a “summoner’s aspect”, using rune (rock dog), “spirit shield” (if not “sword+shield”), racial (asura), & sigil (demon summoner).

Was just thinking abbot how fun this could be.

Ps: Here’s a list of all the “outside sources” for guardian summoner.

(makes for a good solo “party” for AH). Note: fleashreaver & both consumables seem best, but parrot is another “quick chance”.

Pps: I’ll fix this to be easier to read later.

Been looking at those for guardian. Haven’t really found anything I’d follow 100%, but it did give some ideas to try. Namely, have a sword/focus swap-set to give a boost to heals (might*2+steal HP/heal nearby ppl; both being “on swap”) etc.

I’ll need test a few trait setups, & check wiki on the various heals from runes.

Speaking of which, would someone explain the following sigil types “on hit” (as a whole), & “stacking” (when swapped to diff weapon)? Also, any tips on which would give better sustainability (overall)? ex: force+"on crit"/“stacking” (which stacking, if these? Can use 2 diff stacking?)
Which has better synchronization w/ AH: “on crit”: quick vs might vs random boon")? Purpose of “swift” buff? ((I’ve the feeling I might be over-doing the Might stacks, if I did: Empowering Might+2*might w/ swap+"on crit" (sigil) ))

Lastly, has anyone ever tried the “summon minions” ‘on kill’? Or even as a full “summoner” build? (ie: signet+runes+spirit weapons)

Btw, ty for leaving the idea “open window” via having the link to the main meta vs the blatantly"try this, this, & this". (I just need jot down the ideas inspired)

Any particular build/s I should be looking at?

Ever have someone being Lv1 planning their “end game” career? Yeah, I’m one of those. lol. (I’m actually lv25ish, lol). Anyway, I’ve an idea of what I want: Mostly solo-Pve, but may do some PvP stuffs. Here’s a rough idea of what I’ve in mind: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQJAsdlsApUo1BxfH8DNBABZZAeAmrI8XXhUkBA-TxRAABA4EAmf/B+0D0lyv1UCeq6PE8AAAA-e

Now, as you can tell, I’m sorta a medi-AH hybrid. That is, I S/F (I don’t swap weapons), & try to block/aegis as much as able, while also using AH & “Rune of the Defender” to keep a steady regen perse (& using that ‘avoiding dmg" to further my dps via burn effects). Figured I’d cover the stats I want (after buffs: ~30k eHp, ~4k atk, ~3k def, 500 heal/burn, ~30% crit, ?? crit dmg), by going: celestial armour, zerker weapons (force +solider signets), & solider accessories. (Assume all Ascended gear, endgame).

However, what I’m most lost on, is: What gems to use for ea gear piece? What foods? Agony resists vs “soldier, supervisor, & lords”? "Will I solo fine or does gear need changes?

PS: I’ve considered using one of the Asura golems (racial elite) as a “pet” to help w/ aggro.

Edit: the crit %, crit DMG, & heal/condi stuff idk what is best values, for the talents & idea in mind.
