Hello folks ,after heart of thorns i became troubled by the dragon hunter specialization , guardian allways was to me a Melee class , and a good one at that , but with the traps and bows , i jsut didnt and dont want to use them , thus i cam up with my own setup of what a Dragon Hunter melee should be like , and it works quite well in team play as well as solo , call it wvw or call it pvp team and 1v1n
So it uses Marauder stats amulet for pvp , or zerkers if you feel lucky with 13 k hp ,
in pve and wvw , try combining both zerker stats and soldiers , to have some extra beef , for a melee unit
it uses Sword , shield , and Hammer , its also a meditation build , :: here is the link to the actual build::: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQNAseSlsAhqhY5QwbIwPELNE11wuABQ28dh5n8xX8TPA-TJBFABA8IAEvMABnBAc2fAA
with it , in pvp and wvw you are able to dive in to the oponents backline and start wreking Havok to the squishys , its primarely a initiator / executioner build . or a tanky one if you use Paladin type stats
With the glacial heart trait and sigils of blood and air , you are able to dish out a lot of burst along side ur meditations , since glacial heart , may triger with ANY damaging skill you use wile Holding out the Hammer , even with spear of justice , or smite condition , and even ur heal . Glacial heart may also proc sigil effects ( if lucky)
with this build you want to allways have spear of justice on ur target as long as possible when you dps them , so you may gain the full effects of ur traits and damage bonuses
also , your wings of resolve can be used offencively now , not only they are able to do lots of dmg if they hit critical but they may also imobilise on aoe melee range ( as you land )
when you need to land ur full burst , use your , hammer 2 and Mid cast , teleport on to your target , and activate ur smite condition skill if you have any of you . If that combo is used after u catched ur oponent with spear of justice and that said target is a squishy one , you may as well almost one shot him
and since you are able to support your team as well in combat with ur virtue actives , your protection fields from Hammer 1 is more than a welcome eddition to your team! , try not to cut the AA chain when you are close to the last hit ( wich is the one hit that summons the protection field) , and basicly thats it !! , try it out and hope you have funn with it !!
