Guild Wars 2

Hey Amins, gotta’ say great work w. your Guardian! Like that you play him in such a versatile fashion, trying out different builds and approaches. Wanted to know if I could possibly get your feedback on this current build I’ve been working on:

Currently lvl 65 so I still have a few more lvls to go before fully testing it. But when it comes to playstyle, I like being in the frontlines and placing offensive pressure on the enemies. Not necessarily lookin’ to be a glass cannon. Personally prefer to sacrifice some dmg for survivability even if it means it takes me a bit longer to kill them. Using guerilla tactics and dodging if necessary to get the the job done.

Which is why I’m running those two meditations to have a total of 3 heals, 3 stun breakers as well as having 2 teleport techniques to keep chasing after my enemies. Also have 3 blinding options at my disposal to make use of “Blind Exposure.” Since I haven’t hit 80 yet, haven’t really looked into what armors would best suit this build or what to even rune for that matter, so any feedback you could give would be real helpful and greatly appreciated. Best of luck man and keep up the good work!

hey man, how goes the good fight?

What about staff and bows?

Also, glancing at the game updates for today as far as Guardian is concerned…they’ve increased the health of spirit weapons by 33% now! So maybe they can be a viable option now?

You do have a point though about people catching on and shutting you down, sucks to hear your combo approach has been taking hits like that and that it limits your gameplay. Still, when running with a team and having them back you up it shouldn’t be too big of an issue (if they back you up properly that is). For example, if I took up a build with knockbacks, stuns and knockdowns to keep interrupting my enemies from executing their moves…for every second they aren’t mobile, my teammates get a free second in to do dmg. Of course that would mean I wouldn’t be the top damager and I’d be more of an offensive support, letting my teammates do the dmg bombarding while I keep them pinned, struggling to stand on their own 2 firm feet haha. I don’t know just an idea I guess, and one can dream…lol. What would be your approach to this?

Hey man, saw your videos the other day…pretty good stuff man. Also wanna thank you for providing us with all this intel and sharing man, definitely helps. Up and coming guardian over here, just hit 30 and unsure what path to take so was hoping to get some feedback from you since you’re experienced and definitely seem to know what you’re doing.

What I’m aiming for is to be an offensive guardian, really like using 1H/Shield combos (especially since I get a teleport move) though I usually prefer to main Greatsword and sometimes 2H Hammer. So I wanna stick to melee range and keep pressuring the enemy. The thing is not sure where to go as far as traits go, checked out a lot of builds, burn does some nice dmg but don’t really wanna be focusing on that. Spirit weapons look fun, Retaliation seems really cool and I really dig the concept of using barriers to reflect dmg back at my opponents but heard its not ideal to focus your build around that. So hoping you could kind of point me in the right direction, one thing I enjoy about Guardians is their flexibility for making builds. Would possibly focusing on stuns and knockdowns be a viable option?

In the previous GW, my main was a Warrior. Focused on CC by ingterrupting my opponents and hitting them hard w. my Hammer, while using blocks and conditions when using my Sword & Shield. I don’t know if this helps any lol…and sorry if this is off topic from your Paladin post
