Guild Wars 2

Thanks, I’m just expecting facts !

How are the queues ? Does RoF and RoS get steam rolled ? Are there fun fights?

Hello,

I’m on PS since day one, I play mainly WWW during primetime 2 or 3 days a week for 2-3 hours max (job and family rule !). Since Leagues has started I basically cannot play WWW anymore. When I log in I enter the queue and I have to quit before I can go in or if I can go in, I’m able to play 15-30 min before having to leave.

I’m really thinking to migrate to lower tier server. Questions are:

Will it be better ?
How far should I go ? Silver ? Bronze ?

I’m afraid that the situation is not better in silver especially if I want to join one of the 3-4 best servers. Then, I’m contemplating moving to bronze on RoF or RoS.

RoF or RoS players, how is you servers ? how WWW overthere ?

Another question, do I need to pay the migration fee for each of my toons ?

Thanks for you replies !

Thanks for taking the time to answer, I’m no very familiar with guardian play and I got a better understanding now. As I’m new to the class and want to play support, I’m not bored yet with this meta but I see where you come from.

I guess I will stick to Honor + Valor with a mix of soldier, knight and zerk.

ok got it, my point is that honor line seems not so useful if I do not use shouts so that’s bringing me back to the traditionnal 0/0/10/30/30 with two shouts and a consecration.

It does seem that we are stuck with PoV in this condition heavy meta.

Hi,

I’d like to get feedbacks on a build I’ve been theorycrafting before investing in the gear. This build is made for WWW in large groups. The idea came from consecrations being buffed and PoV being nerfed.

Here is the link :

The idea is to survive in frontline dishing out respectable damage and supporting via Consecrations, CC (Staff 5, Hammer 3 & 5) and virtues (blind, condi clear and stability). I would be able to stack might if needed thanks to staff and blasting in consecrations.

Thanks for reading and taking the time to answer !

See what you mean but i think that we should try to also add up some power if we lower the crit chance percentage.

Then, I lowered the crit percentage to 41% and increased Power, Toughness and Vitality. I also gained 5% damage with the sigils and another condition cleanse on shouts with runes (I guess there are several options for these slots: soldier for tankiness and condi control, flame legion for offense, sapphire jewels for healing and toughness, beryl jewels for balance approach). Here is the build:

Thanks for elaborating with such details, I think I understand where you wanna go. Maybe we can dig in another direction to up the damage of the build and to get PoV in. I’m thinking about damage multipliers:

We loose Right hand strength (but it’s only half a loss as long as we need the hammer for the perma symbol) and mace of justice but we gain:

- 10 % damage on burning target
- Symbol do 10 % more damage
- 10 % damage if endurance not full (may be tricky to optimize with symbols)

I replaced torch with focus to get the benefit of the zeal trait and that will optimize regen uptime. I guess that we can still get a good burning uptime thanks to radiance 15 this can be changed in scenarios where VoJ is not enough to provide sufficient uptime.

I tried to play with stats to switch critical damage for healing power but I could not reach any sweet spot ! I’ll try harder later when I’ll be back home.

Hey,

I came up a few days ago with a variation of this build, the post is here :

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Offensive-healer-Theorycrafted-www-build/first#post2675015

It was not built around symbols but the basic idea was to capitalize on right hand strength and mace of justice.

The answer given did not fully match my expectations, I’m not sure signet builds would be very efficient.

Coming back to your build, I wonder why you chose inner fire, this trait seem to be very situational and as far as I know it doesn’t work with the torch skill.

I’ll be happy to discuss further !

Hi, I’m a long time reader but this is my first post here and first of all I want to thanks all the guardian forum contributors for all the useful information I found about our class mechanics ! I’m new to guardian (mine is in his 30’s) and I’m having some serious fun with this toon (I already have a Mesmer and a necro both 80 that I play mainly in www).

I would like to have some feedback on a build I theorycrafted during my vacations (being far from any Internet connection, I can only use my Smartphone).

The idea is to build a support/heal guardian with some acceptable offensive capabilities that can be used in www for small group (solo ?) roaming Thus, the idea is to play around two traits that bring some synergy to reach this goal: right hand strength (offensive power) and mace of justice (healing boost). On top of that, selfless daring seem to be staple to any heal build. Then, I ended with 0/30/20/15/5 (I love virtues minor adept and it synergizes well with radiance minors). Here is the build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQRApe8dlYgSDnFyKEfIFRuArHA8g+D/AGvUQxHC-jEzAYrIj2CI9J0EhAlFLiGbltIasqaA1CmuNpK3I75Tq3ATKgIGDA-w

The build is short in condition removal that’s why I chose signet of resolve, smite conditions and runes of soldiers. Two other utilities are HtL and SYG (traited) for support.

Weapons are mace/shield and sword/focus and the idea here is to use the sword for offense and to switch to mace for defense.

Once again, this is pure theorycrafting, I would love testing this build when my guard will be 80 but I’d rather get some preliminary feedback from experienced players before chasing the necessary exo and ascended stuff !

Many thanks in advance !

Hey there !

Thinking about power well build, I agree that Curse 10, DM 10 and BM 20 are staples to the build but I’m not totally sure that 30 in spite are a no brainer.

The idea behind the build is to AOE with staff and wells and except close to death, no traits in spite really synergise with AOE (except spiteful marks, but the bonus seems to be pitiful).

However, the SR line seems to synergise much more: Path of midnight with Transfusion, near to death to maximize DS uptime and Deathly perception (need to comment ?).

I would run with staff, dagger, WH (as long as Axe is not upgraded and WH will provide swiftness, AOE and cone daze), CC as heal and 3 wells as utilities. I’m still debating for elite, plage is too good in zergs to pass but not synergize very well.

Stuff wise, I’d go for a mix of berzerker, soldier and Cavalier/Valkyrie to reach 50 % crit with food/oil and sigils with 21K health (arbitrary amount I feel comfortable with) and as much toughness as possible without lowering power.

Any thought on the Spite/SR choice ?

Hi,

I’m facing a strange issue with the TP for several days (ie it’s not linked to the present downtime).

Whenever I want to open the TP window, nothing appear in it except the tabs on the left. Strangely, I’ve been able to use the TP during 2-3 days several weeks ago but since I cannot.

I’ve tried the “run as admin” trick but no improvement, I’ve tried to keep the pane opened during several minutes but no improvement.

Just for reference, I’m playing behind a DHCP router but no port forwarding has been needed to play until now.

Any idea to solve this issue, it’s becoming quite annoying
