Copy and paste them into the browser and they work fine.

thank you

Not dependent at all, just choose the build you want to play and then choose the gear of your liking and that supports the build of your choice.

Go for a 0/0/30/20/20 build.

Purity
Retributive armor
Altruistic healing
Superior aria
2h mastery or larger symbols for a retaliation setup for the team when wielding gs.
Consecrated ground
Master of consecrations

For utilitys you use stand your ground, hallowed ground and wall of reflection.

Runes i would go for 2* superior monk, 2 superior water and 2* major sanctuary/monk. With traits this will give you 60% boon duration which is massive with the amount of stability this build has over 20 seconds of aoe stability which is the best support you can give your team in wvw.

Combine it with a staff when there is no swiftness in the team and the staff alone is close 100% uptime on swiftness.

if you use a GS then you can also use it as a group retaliation setup with SyG and SoW and if you combine hammer and GS its 100% uptime on aoe retaliation if you trait vengeful.

So basically hammer and gs when moving around or want 100% uptime on aoe retal. Hammer/GS and staff when you need swiftness or want to support with retal and stability.

Two setup of gears imo, knights and clerics, the latter for duels and the former if you want to be in your face and also deal some nice damage.

The link below with clerics is a superstrong group focused retal build. If you need a bit more dps, swap some of the clerics accessories for magi for mor crits. 20-25% is enough for have some major impact as long as there is Fury in the team.

The link below is great supporter with reflections and stability and ranged consecrations and pretty decent dps with knights and berserkers gear.

Both setups are tanky as hell if played correctly but the clerics is more forgiving and less demanding.

Omnomberry pie and master maintenance oil in both builds.

You will be relatively weak versus conditions but imo use signet heal if that is the case and get two passive removals each 10 seconds. In group play i find conditions to be of less concern.

Or go for a 0/0/30/30/10 and get Pure of voice and swap one consecration for hold the line and you have two shouts that remove conditions teamwide.

Berserker weapons in both builds and you will have 40% crit with clerics and fury from the team and close to 40% critdamage in clerics and still dodge heal for over 1.2k.

With a knights setup we are talking about close to 70% critchance.

So do you want laidback easy mode retal with aoe stability/reflection or aoe stability/reflection and a dps in your face supporter, its up to you and both can be achieved with this build.

Btw drop hallowed ground when you have 50% health in the middle of your group and see what happens with your health while stacking 16 seconds of stability. And people think empower on the staff is OP, lmao.

Edit forgot to mention signet of judgement for the retal build. Its just huge as it also causes aoe weakness which in combination with hallowed ground frigging dominates the area of your choice.

The links don’t work i get BAD LINK when it try to open them.

AxelLysander.2340:

Tanky, healing, spreading boons?

tanky

AxelLysander.2340:

Can you be more specific with what kind of support guardian?

What do you mean by what kind of support guardian?

As the title says how gear dependant are we?

Also can i get a guide for support guaridan who mostly uses his projectile shields to protect teammates in zergs and for outpost protecting

Bloodgruve.6038:

Every 5 levels or so I’ll go to the Trading Post and buy new blues or greens. 15 silver goes a long way. I look for anything with Vitality usually, again at lvl 60 it starts to change but you’ll have a better feel for it at that point.

At lvl 40 you can get Two Handed Mastery trait for faster 2h cooldowns. until then switch weapons when you can to maximize ability usage. Hammer gets its damage from Auto Attack and Mighty Blow. Even with the trait you’ll wanna hit mighty blow at the end of ever other auto attack chain. Get those combo fields working for ya.

Blood~

Thank you kind sir.

Bloodgruve.6038:

GSword is setup quite well, I’d suggest throwing one on and trying it. This was my weapon of choice leveling along with Hammer. After lvl 60 different builds start to really open up and then at 80 you have a lot of viable options. Until then GSword is quite good. I would suggest replacing blue gear every 5 levels to keep things moving. I usually just grab anything with vitality or toughness at lower levels.

Each weapon has it’s strength and can be used effectively. I think of hammer as a 2h ‘tanky’ weapon as you can have full time Protection running for 33% less damage taken with the right build. Mace, Shield and Focus are also good for survival. GSword, Sword, Torch and Scepter are my picks for sheer damage output, Scepter being our ranged option and Sword is awesome in a crit build. Staff has great support, surprisingly decent damage and coupled with Shouts can give you constant Swiftness.

Oatmeal.1895:

I was greatsword all the way until the harder dungeons, hammer is a great crowd control weapon. #3 (root) and #5(I think? creates a ward that enemies cannot pass through/exit). Linked with Staff’s #5 skill you can keep enemies at bay for a good 15+? However I don’t think I would use staff for pve.

But like others have said each weapon has it’s strengths. Except for torch and sword… I cannot honestly say I have ever really used them, except to mess around.

Thank you both for the replies i’ll try GS/Hammer or GS/Staff but another question what about low level armor do you guys use the ones that the mobs drop or do you buy them with karma or from the post?

Ynna.8769:

I never had the need for better armor at lower levels. I just picked up whatever I found and sometimes bought something with Karma. I also found that before level 10 things were harder, and they eased out on later levels (becoming a bit more difficult around level 60 or so). Instead of picking up new armor, try to actively avoid damage with dodges and make sure to heal on time. Also make sure you’ve take utilities that help you live longer if you find yourself going down too fast. If all that doesn’t help, consider taking a weapon that actively reduces the damage you take, be it with blocks, blinds or something else.

Thank you i only struggle versus a pack of mobs like 4 or more :P

JJBigs.8456:

If your armor and build isnt tanky enough for more damage like GS/Staff, then you could use hammer/staff as a alternative for more “support” over dps. Its one of the better weapon combos though definately.

Thank you one more question tho where can i get some good low lvl armor? I’ll soon hit lvl 11 or so and sometimes im just getting wrecked i dont die but i have to run like hell i really don’t want to buy those npc armors is there any other decent armor sets early on?

Is it any good? I’m kinda new to mmorpg’s and im just wondering if it’s any good.

I believe Gandara or something like that is the right choice for you it’s a great server with alot of people most of the time it’s population is high almost full.
