Guild Wars 2

I went Sylvari because of the new dialogue in the story (as before, I mained a Norn Ranger), but I do have 2 open character slots that I might check out Charr and/or Asura because of the more unique animations (plus I would like to try a condi build without having to mess with my current build). Before I learned that Sylvari would have their own take in the story, I wanted to make a Charr anyway because it would be the only race I don’t have a max level on, so chances are I will end up with a second Rev that’s a Charr.

Can I ask why you chose the backpack you chose? Healing power seems like a waste on that build, plus it is such a small amount that it is very negligible and you are going to be much better off picking something that will give you more damage. Other than that, it looks good on paper, but condi rev is kinda crappy right now, so you’ll have to test it out somehow.

For general play and leveling, you’re gonna wanna take the Shiro legend with a Sword/Axe weapon combo, and the 2H Hammer as your off set for ranged attacks. Shiro offers the skill “Impossible Odds” which give you quickness. That, comboed with your Sword auto attack will melt mobs. On top of things, once you reach max level, you are going to want to unlock the Herald trait line ASAP, because it will bring some welcomed utility to you playstyle.

Hey all, I figured I’d share my Revenants current build as it works pretty well IMO.

For Traits, take Herald (middle-middle-top), Invocation (x-bottom-top), and Devastation (middle-bottom-top). This will give you 10% extra damage when you have fury, are hitting a vulnerable target, 2% for each boon on you, and 20% when the target drops below 50% HP, and up to 10% for constantly using your sword.

Weapons, I use sword/shield and either hammer or staff. All Berserker stats for the bonus damage. Armor, I am using the new Wanderer’s stats (Ruka’s if it is ascended) with really any rune that give bonus boon duration (Strength, Hoelbrak, Herald…). With the armor alone, I gain an extra ~20% boon duration which is amazing for the trait from Herald that stacks might whenever you buff a party member. Trinkets, I am using all Berserker except for the amulet, which is Soldiers.

Legends are Glint/Shiro or Glint/Jalis if you need more defense and stability. Overall, it is a very strong build that is also quite tanky. Please, give some feedback on what you think of it and if you have any suggestions, please go ahead and reply. Lets get Rev into the meta and have them catch up on the three years they’ve missed!!

Weapon and armor stats do not cross over into PvP from PvE, so it’s just how you look. As for the stats, if you want to do a Condi build, then I would say run the Condi/Power?Prec because that’ll net you raw damage as well, allowing you to still do some decent direct damage on top of large ticking DoT’s. As a thief, you have enough evades and blinds to completely ignore toughness and vitality on your character.
However, if you’re going for highest damage, the “Berzerkers” gear set, (Pow/Prec/Fer) is going to net you the highest DPS over a short time, especially if you use Dagger/Dagger.
Hope I answered all your questions.

I am so salty about Druid being last. I love my Ranger, she is in full ascended, with an ascended staff with the fractal skin waiting in anticipation for the skill set, yet I cannot see what it is yet because Ranger is ANet’s least favorite class. I want my elite spec already!

As someone who mains a Ranger casually, here is what I hope for:

1. Staff; I know it is confirmed but I love the feeling of being a bit more “magical” rather than the spirits being the only thing that’s really magic about the profession.

2. I’m hoping for the removal of in combat pet swap in exchange for TOTAL control over my pet (what abilities, where it’ll move to, etc.) as well as being able to combo my moves with my pets moves to create devastating effects.

3. I think Mantras, Concentrations, or Kits would be awesome, of course they would be changed to fit the nature theme of the Ranger.

4. Was confirmed when they announced the xpac that they would be called Druid.

I wouldn’t mind if warrior got no new weapon, but instead got “kits” that are actually weapons. For example, one of these kits could be a halberd, while another could be something similar to the Charrzooka racial. Call it a weapons master or something, and allow them to have more weapon skills in exchange for their normal utility skills.

Here is my view on how rev can be fixed. It may not be the perfect fix but it’ll make the class more customization and a better overall feel.

Weapons:
Don’t tie them down so heavily to their respective legend. For example, staff is so focused on Ventari that it is next to useless to use unless you want to play pure support. The only thing I am okay with is the Mallyx Mace/Ax combo, because every profession needs their own specific condi weapons. I think things would run a lot smoother if you traited into specific weapons depending on the legend rather than having to use Jalis because you like the hammer game play.

Heal, Utility, and Elite Skills:
Two words; ADD MORE. Rev gets only 5 skills per legend, and while a total of 20 skills is there, the ability to choose which ones you want to use isn’t there. I know the profession is no where near finished yet but feeling locked in to only using a total of 2 different heal, 6 different utility, and 2 different elite was almost like Anet wants me to play this specific way. I think there should be a good 2-3 heal, utility, and elite PER legend, and allow me to pick and choose so I can play the way I want to play.

Traits:
In all honesty the traits are fine. I feel like they are strong and help you out when you are moving around in combat, I just wish there were a few more that you give you damage boosts, but I’m still gonna hold off on that until the next beta happens so i can test out Shiro.

Hey all, I’ve been putting together this build together for a few days now, and I absolutely love it so I thought I’d share it with the community. Basically it is designed with dungeons in mind, but can work well in groups anywhere. Any thoughts on how to possibly up damage or anything else I will happily listen to. I play super casually so I don’t bother with foods or other things like that.

Greatsword PvE

I run steady focus because the greatsword and LR provide enough evades, I swap muddy terrain with just about anything.
I run Axe/Warhorn because of the might stacking, blast finisher, breathing room from melee, and the condi can be useful in some scenarios.

Please tell me what you think! I am not one to “ruin” the meta, but I am also not one to “play” the meta. Thanks for reading!

*What if the Reaper isnt really Necro/Warrior, but is really Necro/Guardian or Necro/Ranger?

and what if your theory is just a junk? Necro got shouts which are completely different from any other shouts in game… it’s neither Necro/Warrior or Necro/Guardian, it’s Reaper… whole class combination based on skill types is a nonsense and you still flood the forum with it…

and when the Warrior was announced before Guardian, is Guardian in fact a Guardian/Warrior because he share some skill types of Warrior? and Warrior is a Warrior/Elementalist, because Ele got announced first and Warrior have signets? OMG every profession is X/Elementalist! WOW!

sorry but you can’t be serious…

COMPLETELY THIS. These Elite Specializations are not a secondary profession, Anet is just taking skills already in the game because it’ll be easier for them to code and integrate, thus leading to HoT to release earlier. Dragonhunter is not a Guardian/Ranger, it is a Dragonhunter. Same goes for Reaper and Chronomancer. They are just using skills that other classes had to give it a new play style.

Nah, I think cultural armors are the reason why I pick a race. They should stay as they are. A new tier or two would be awesome though! However, I think having them as just a gold sink is a little redundant. I think they should have requirements and use a different currency. For example, if I wanted Human Tier 1, then I would have to complete the level 30 personal story, have Queensdale, Kessex Hills, and Gendarran Fields completed, get a few “treasures” from the karma vendors, and then finally the skins (they should be changed to skins) would unlock and I could spend these “badges” that you get from completing any Task (1 per task). The armor could cost like a total of 20-30 Task badges. Of course the requirements for the higher tiers would be more rigorous to do, and still cost more. Badges could be put in your wallet and be account bound. What do you think about it?

Honestly the way I look at shields is yes it does need a rework, but the abilities are fine, they just need a huge buff. I believe that #4 could be used more offensively if they added a blind to it, and maybe even make it give a stack of might for 10s. The #5 skill should grant you block for the duration, and make the detonate a combo blast. These changes could make the shield much more versatile, so you can use it in either defensive, offensive, or utility scenarios. The focus IMO is a much more defensive weapon, while the torch is offensive, so it makes sense giving the shield a middle ground, not too damage-y but not too tank-y.

Hey all, I recently got a new computer, upgrading to Windows 8. For some reason, every time I try to download GW2, it says “This app cannot be run.” The computer is an ASUS ROG G20, Intel core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz, 16 GB Ram, 64-bit, 1TB HDD space. I did notice that it only downloads ~25KB instead of the 26 needed. If anyone can help, that’d be amazing. Thanks in advance.

Please, before you comment, this is PURELY COSMETIC.

Now I think it would be really cool if having a specific armor set (and possible back piece) would add some new cosmetic aura/effect. For example, if you had full SE armor, and the jetpack, when you jump, the jet pack has like a flame pulse come out of it. Or if you have full Luminescence armor, Mawdrey, and lets say a Mordrem Weapon from the BL Chest Ticket, the weapon would glow blue, and Mawdrey would produce a purple-pink aura while in combat. Possible combos could be cool, but I honestly think they should add these because it would add so much more fun in finding some cool and flashy effects.

I honestly am okay with these traits. I know they aren’t the best, but they work. An IMMEDIATE 5% damage increase to any enemy (especially solo) is amazing. Combo it with LB #2 or GS #2 and boom, even more damage, which means more burst. As a ranger, we don’t have much burst like warrior or thief, thus giving us the option to run through people with 10-15% extra damage. Given the traits could use an update (like it resets right after you leave combat, not 20 seconds later, or make the next ability crit, not just the next attack.) it still has tons of uses. Dungeon running is awesome because a majority of classes cannot stack vulnerability as passively as a ranger.

For GS, it’s like an easier version of Sword. The built in evade is very nice, as well as a block (Can block all ranged attacks), a stun, leap, and vul nuke. Very strong, and easy to come by too. Would for sure recommend it for leveling. If you like it of course!
For LB, again, strong. Figure out some sweet combos with it such as #3, #2, #1 or something else. Ranger is based around sustained damage, so you won’t see huge numbers, but you will have a very easy time staying alive and in large groups you can be lazy and just sit there and spam #1.

Rozbuska.5263:

I am bit disappointed they announce new lege weapons instead of armor and trinkets

Well here is how I look at it; yes I don’t mind if there is legendary armors, but the thing is each legendary weapon has some sort of backstory to it, while there really isn’t an armor that would be considered legendary. I mean, you could consider the Carapace armor legendary, because you have to do stuff for it, but I don’t expect them to put in any legendary armors. Trinkets, perhaps. They could do some sweet effects with those, but again, highly doubt it.

1) Specializations: I can’t wait. I want to have more diverse playstyles and new and crazy ways to play the game. Hopefully this will cut down on zerker meta, though I still don’t mind those high numbers…

2) Revenant: I’ve always wanted something else to play. I usually main, and have few alts that I progress to high levels, but this one takes the cake. I’m skipping straight to this class is gonna be good, rather than hoping its gonna be okay.

3)Masteries: THIS, something to do besides collect skins and work on my Luminescence gear. Plus, with the gliding action, it’ll make the game all the more explorable. (Do you think we can use the glider anywhere?)

3)No gear/level boost: the simple fact that there is no new tier of gear or no new level cap blows my mind. I’d hate to have to go through yet another set of armor, ascended was enough, especially with how long it takes to create it.

4) New Zones: More exploration means more fun. GW2 is already an amazing game visually; the silverwastes and dry top are stunning, and knowing that this is with even better technologies, I bet it’s gonna look so much better than what GW2 has to offer right now.

5) New Legendaries: Even though I’ve yet to create one myself, this is going to make me really want to craft one. So far Sunrise has been put off until I can determine which new weapons I will truly want.

Thanks for reading. Feel free to post your own list of things that you’re excited for!

Azure.8670:

I’m pretty sure the largos work for bubbles

Yeah, after reading that wiki page they sound almost like a dragons minion. They “hunt” and remain underwater most of their lives. With little info on Bubbles and the Largos, I’m gonna take a stab in the dark and say they’re minions.

Here is what I am hoping for:
1) New weapons. An obvious one but I could really go for a new ranged weapon on Guardian or maybe using fists for a Warrior/Thief.
2) A very intensely dynamic zone where one event can change the whole course of the place for the next hour (Like a specific enemy will have control if you muck up)
3) A new dungeon. Would love new armor and weapons that I don’t have to grind/buy.
4) Some simple, yet possibly useful changes, such as what level you actually are. Keep the level cap at 80, but show how many times you’ve “leveled up” after that. So instead of showing your character at 80, it’ll say something like 186, but you know it’s still 80. Or having an option to let your action bars disappear when you leave combat, like and Explorer mode.
5) LS S3. I hope after we possibly kill Modremoth, there will be a new threat, but this time, it isn’t a dragon. What I would absolutely love for a plot would be a rabble-rouser against the queen for her “bad leadership.” Eventually people rally behind this guy and he slowly starts to take over Kryta. As the seraph fail to defend the land, a battle takes place at DR, but isn’t successful. As this new threat is powerful and strong, we go to the priory to investigate only to find the leader is the heir to the throne, and he plans to kill Queen Jenna and take the throne for himself, leading a militaristic dictatorship, turning on all the races of Tyria and then is in for way more than he bargained for as the united races take him down, but he doesn’t go out without sparking a new found war between charr and humans, only to backfire as the pale tree resolves the conflict. At least some form of storyline similar to that. I truly want to see the humans be one of the biggest bad guys this game will see.
6) Legendary Armors. Mainly because selectable stats.
7) Scavenger hunts for legendary weapons/armors. I for one am slowly attempting the lengthy grind for a legendary, but I would much rather explore the world, learn some the lore, and fight some big baddies with difficult fight scenarios and large HP pools.
8) Crystal Desert. I would looooooooove to visit a barren wasteland similar to where we are now with Modremoth, but perhaps without a dragons corruption. I know thats where purple mcgee dargon lives, but lets just say he is still asleep.
9) Closure with Zhatian. I would love to cleanse Orr, maybe not return it to it’s original state, but I for one am not a fan of the undead. Plus, if he ever comes back (not sure if possible), he would have a standing army already.
10) New utility skills. I’d love to have a new signet, or possibly a gadget that adds a whole new playstyle or promotes a new build without zerkers stats.

Thanks for reading!

I just have to say, after trying a thief, ele, warrior, and necro, nothing beats the shear DPS and survivability of a Guardian. I love this class and super happy that it’s my main. The colors and boons you can provide are awesome, not to forget the support you can provide even in a full damage build.

However, I am looking to spice things up a bit in terms of build. Every time I try to come up with something myself, I can’t stand it. I know about Metabattle.com, but their builds are meh to me.

I currently run a full Zerker 4/4/2/0/4, with GS/SF, and the healing and power signet, and Smite Condition, Judge’s Intervention, and the immune elite.

I’d like to keep my gear (full zerker), and I have all the weapons in Zerker stats. I was hoping that someone has a fun PvE build that can be used for everything, that has high dps and mobility, as I can dodge very well and use my skills accordingly.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Thats all I needed.

Are the new town skins Soulbound or Account Bound. I really like the executioner and bloody prince but I want to know if they are soulbound or accout bound before I buy them. Thanks for any replies

I have a level 43 ele, and I don’t have much map completion due to the fact that I used my scroll of experience. As much as I love doing some map completion, I haven’t had much motivation to do it. Anyone know of some fun/exciting places to level up in?

I am fairly certain it is still soul-bound, and I would just do the farm on another character for the 1300 fractal pieces.

I really dig the idea of the Combo Field: Earth, but not so sure about the Finisher: Launch. Giving it the ability to both effect you and the target makes it a little OP. But if it were to have a 50/50 chance of either thing to happen, that would be alright I guess. I’m not a super hardcore player so I really don’t have an idea of ow to balance. But good idea nonetheless.

Hey all, I want to get all the mats required for (or as close as possible) to making some ascended weapons. The only problem is it isn’t for me. I want to send the mats to a different account. If it is possible at all, can anyone send me the non-accountbound mats needed to make a weapon, and all the acoundbound ones too. Also, if it helps, its for a scepter, if that does change anything. One more thing, the stats are either carrion, dire, or rabid. Thanks for the help!

Hi, I’m looking for a good PvE guild on the server Kaineng. If there is any better ones on different servers, please reply, I don’t mind switching. I just want one where I can kill a dragon and not spend hours failing and retrying the event. Any replies help, thanks!

Do the new weapons skins drop from only certain champions like Dulfy.com says, or can any one drop from any champ. Also, which champions have the highest chance to drop one of the greatswords and swords. Dulfy.com says go here, but I’ve been farming since release and haven’t gotten anything better than a 50s rare.

Guardian is not OP. I play an 80 Guardian and I run into a ton of difficulties but I’m not a hardcore player, mostly PvE. If even 1 of these changes happens the Guardian would be the most underpowered class in the game, and if all of them happen, well lets say there wouldn’t be any more Guardians in the game.

Because Thieves have the shortest range of any profession right now, I think it would be best for the Thief to get a rifle with possibly a 1500 range on some abilities giving it a “sniper feel.” Of course not all skills would be 1500, but at least 2 or 3 should be. It could be sort of a high burst/high initiative cost weapon. Here is some of the ideas for the Rifle, feel free to change/criticize on the topic.

Skill #1: Precise Shot (3/4 second Cast) (Auto Attack)
-Description: Shoot a precise shot at your enemy that goes through up to 3 enemies.
-Range: 1200
Skill #1 Stealth: Throat Shot (3/4 Second Cast) (2 Initiative Cost)
-Description: Shot your foes throat, interrupting them.
-Range: 1200

Skill #2: Aimed Shot (2 1/2 Second Cast) (4 Initiative Cost)
-Description: Shoot a powerful aimed shot at your enemy, dealing extra damage if they are disabled.
-Range: 1500
-Damage Bonus: 10%

Skill #3: Sniper Shot (1 1/2s Cast) (3 Initiative Cost)
-Description: Fire a bullet at your foe, dealing more damage the further away you are.
-Range: 1500

Skill #4: Sniper Scope (Instant Cast) (5 Initiative)
-Description: Aim through your scope at your opponents weak points, gaining Fury.
-Fury Duration: 10 Seconds (If used more than once within 5 seconds of using it, the duration is halved; IE if you use it twice in a row you will only get 15s of Fury, not 20s)
-Range: Self Cast

Skill #5: Retreat to the Shadows (1s Cast) (8 Initiative Cost)
-Description: Jump back, stealthing yourself when when you land, and blinding foes on the initial leap.
-Leap back Range: 450
-Blind Duration: 3 Seconds
-Stealth Duration: 3 Seconds

I’d really like to see a 2h Great/Battle Axe for Warrior, Necro, and possibly Ranger; A Halberd for Guardian, Mesmer, and Warrior; Above-ground spear for Guardian; and Hammer and MH Mace for Engineer.

On your suggestion Komet, I think a sub machine gun for any class is sort of not really “In the GW2 time”, but maybe give Ranger and Thief the rife. Have a Rifle Ranger get powerful ranged shots with a jump back, and a Rifle Thief get some 1500 range sniping abilities.

Skill #1: Radiant Light (Heal)
Skill Type: Meditation
Description: Call down a Radiant Light at a target location, blinding foes and healing allies that are inside the light. Applies heal and blind once per second.
Cooldown: 30-40 seconds
Duration: 6 seconds
Combo Field: Light
Cast Time: 1 1/4 seconds
Heal to self: 1,000 per tick (6,000 total)
Heal to allies: 400 per tick (2,400 total)
Blind: 1 second (6 total)
Radius: 240
Range: 900
Visual Effects: A beam of white/yellowish light shines at a slight angle down where you placed Radiant Light, allies inside of it glow yellow and foes glow red.

It is sort of like the Thief pistol #5 move Black Powder, but adds 2 seconds and heals allies.

Skill #2: Soul Fire (Elite)
Skill Type: Meditation or Transformation (or none, not sure)
Description: Fuel you soul with a holy fire, increasing damage, healing, armor, and health.
Cooldown: 180-240 seconds
Duration: 6-10 seconds (10-15 traited)
Cast Time: 2 Seconds (Immobile while casting)
Damage Increase: 50-100% depending on weapon
Healing increase: heal skills increased by 25-50%, utility increased by 50-100%
Health increase: 10-25% or 5,000, lost when effect ends
Armor increase: adds 500 armor, lost when effects ends
Visual Effects: Adds a blue flame to your weapon (MH/OH and 2H), and your armor turns a guardian blue

Skill #3: Master of Virtues (Elite)
Skill Type: Meditation or none
Description: Your mind expands, gaining mass knowledge about your virtues, giving them bonuses. You also gain a 4th virtue for the duration of the skill. All Virtues are reset but cannot be activated for the duration of the skill.
Cooldown: 180-240 Seconds
Duration: 10 seconds (20 Traited)
Virtue of Justice: Doubles passive burn duration and applies every 3rd hit (2nd if you have Supreme Justice)
Virtue of Resolve: Passive heal is doubled and ticks every second
Virtue of Courage: Aegis is applied when MoV is activated and is applied every 10 seconds (You get 2 for the duration of the skill, 3 if traited) and Aegis blocks twice.
Fourth Virtue: Only active when MoV is active, Persists for 5 seconds after MoV has ended. Cannot be activated when MoV is is active, but can for the 5 sec afterward.
Virtue of Judgement: Passive-Increases Crit damage by 15-25%
Active: Stuns the target for 2 seconds

These are the skills I’ve thought of, so enjoy!

Thanks all! Now I just have to wait 5 more days yay!

I have 3k+ points but I can’t get a skin or even a chest. When I logged on I got the 500 pt chest but nothing after that. How do I get the chests for the weapons skins and money/laurels? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Reply if you would like an invite or whisper me in-game

I sort of made this one up by myself, i just wanted to mix things up a bit and I think it is a pretty viable build.

Armor: Full Valkyries (Power, Vitality, Crit Damage) with 6/6 Runes of the Fighter
Weapons: Berserkers with any Sigil
Amulet: Soldiers
Back Slot: Soldiers
Rings and Trinkets: Knights with Sentinels

As you can see from the armor I have decent damage with decent survivability.

Traits: I mix them up from 20/20/20/0/10, 10/30/20/0/10, and 10/15/25/15/5.
The first one is for using GS, second is for MH Sword OH Torch/Shield, and the last is for Hammer/Staff.

Skills: Signet of Resolve (Healing)
Judges Intervention (1st Utility)
Smite Condition (2nd Utility)
Bane Signet (3rd Utility)
Renewed Focus (Elite)

I usually enter with JI and follow with some CC, I am currently using the last set of traits with Hammer/Staff and hit in the 2,000’s with Mighty Blow. I love the damage and with Hammer constantly giving me protection, I rarely get below 50% HP as long as I heal. I constantly have 4 stacks of might in the beginning of the battle due to Might on block and Might on VoJ, so there is some extra damage. I can solo fairly well and do even better in a party. It’s an all around build that can use any type of weapon except for mace because no one likes mace.

Recently I’ve thought of some new healing skills for most of the professions. So without further ado, here they are:

Warrior: Bloodlust Stance (45 sec CD)
-Type: Stance
-Enter Bloodlust Stance. While in this stance, you regenerate health over 10 seconds. Also, 25% of the damage you do and 50% of the damage you take regenerates over time.

Guardian: Radiant Light (45 sec CD)
-Type: Meditation
-Surround yourself in a radiant light, healing yourself and nearby allies and blinding nearby foes. Cures a condition.

Thief: Leeching Venom (45 sec CD)
-Type: Venom
-Apply a leeching venom to you weapons, making your next three attacks heal you.

Ranger: Vigorous Spirit (60 sec CD)
-Type: Spirit
-Summon a Vigorous Spirit, healing yourself and your pet, then having the spirit out, cause regeneration (2 sec) on hit (35% when attacking)

Engineer: (Haven’t thought of this one yet)

Elementalist: Arcane Regeneration (30-45 sec CD)
-Type: Arcane
-Heal yourself and gain 5 seconds of regeneration, protection, and swiftness

Mesmer: Phantasmal Shaman (30 sec CD)
-Type: Phantasm
-Summon a Phantasmal Shaman, who heals nearby allies and cures conditions when healing. Lasts until out of combat. Does not count as an illusion.

Necromancer: Spectral Life (30-45 sec CD)
-Type: Spectral
-Gain Spectral Life, healing over a course of 5-10 sec and gain 2% life force as well.

These are my ideas and any changes that would be cool or would work better I would love to see. Criticism is appreciated, but please don’t be too harsh. Thanks for reading!

I was gone for the Dragon Helm achievement and I was wondering if there are any other ways to get it. I really wanted to make a cool dragon theme guardian and this helm would finish it of but I didn’t realize I would be gone for the fireworks show and I missed it. Is there any other ways to get it? Any replies help and thanks for reading/replying!

Wolfbrand.6523:

All professions suffer from some lackluster traits that never see any use. Guardian is no exception. Maybe we can get some visibility for the upcoming patch that is bringing trait changes. Post your trait ideas here!

Radiant Fire
Torch skills recharge 20% faster. Zealot’s Flame no longer burns, but now explodes dealing area damage on up to three foes.

Scepter Power
Scepter damage is increased by 5%. Smites area of effect is increased by 50%.

Inner Fire
When you are set on fire or inflict burning you gain 2 seconds of fury.

Powerful Blades —> Harnessed Blades
Sword and spear damage is increased by 5%. Zealot’s Defense may be used while moving.

Mace of Justice
Mace damage is increased by 5%. Symbol of Faith is instant.

Unscathed Contender —> Fury of the Saints
Deal 15% more damage while under the effects of aegis. When aegis is removed, you gain fury for 6 seconds.

Please contribute your own submissions/suggestions for increasing the viability/fun of many of the Guardian traits!

Yes to all of these. I would love to move with Zealot’s Defense. Also, another trait I would like to see is a change to Zealous Blade, which I find absolutely useless and a waste of a trait slot. They should change it to two stacks of might on final hit with great-sword instead of 1. Also, all the spirit weapon related traits need to find 1 line to stay in. I think they’re in like three different lines right now and that needs to be changed.

As much as I like the idea of both of them, if you spec enough into a crit build, stacking confusion and poison become incredibly easy with these two. Now if the CD was longer (10 seconds) and the chance was lower (10-20%), I think it’d be a little better. Good idea though I’ve always wondered why they didn’t have these at the beginning.

Can anyone help me out with this build? I need trinkets, weapons and possibly some traits moved around. I would appreciate any help and can’t wait to get roaming.

I’m looking to make a Guardian with Zerker gear (as I have enough mats to make it) and I was wonder if I should go completely damage (30/30/0/0/10) or trait into toughness/vitality. Also, what sort of utilities should I use. I know radiance allows me to do good with signets as well as one handed weapons, but Valor has meditations, Honor has shouts, and Virtues has concentrations. Any help would be appreciative, and I can play the game fairly well when it comes to damage mitigation and dodging. Thanks.

Hey GW2 community, I’m currently looking to create a new toon as I am bored of my current 80 Guardian with trying to get gear. I have a 20 Thief and I’m looking to make a light armored profession. I know how to play all three but I am having difficulties with trying to pick one because of the same old skills when leveling (I’ve gotten one of each to level 15 before I got bored and deleted them)

I’m trying to make a good WvW build and I was wondering if Valkyries armor with soldiers weapons and zerker/rampager trinkets with 0/15/25/10/20 with stand your ground, hallowed ground and bane signet are good. I’m looking to either solo or go with a small group. Any help would be appreciative. Thanks for reading.

Use your CoF tokens to get the rare helmets and boots (30 tokens each), salvage them for ectos and bam, money out the bank.

Ethersin, and Gearbreaker I think are up there.

So I’m trying to make a WvW support build and I was wondering if 0/0/30/20/20 a good build with all Soldiers gear? Or should I use Clerics? Also, I am currently using “Retreat”, “Wall of Reflection”, and “Sanctuary” for my skills. I currently run Staff for support and Scepter/Shield for a little more offense (zerg v zerg)/defense (protection/bubble).

If this doesn’t seem like a good support build, can someone help me out? I absolutely love helping people out and in WvW zergs I have the most fun.

Ranger are going to get pets, as soon as they fix the kitten AI of them!
