Guild Wars 2

Thanks a lot man, that was really helpful!

Thank you Keksmuffin!
I’m actually very interested in what isn’t optimal at all, if you want please do tell me!

Hi guys, after a 2 years long pause I got back into the game and leveled my Guardian to 80.
I’m currently playing sPvP hotjoin to better get a hang of it and casually roaming WvW.

The two builds I’m using are both suggested here on the forum and are very similar, but I can’t really decide which one of them is the most effective for what I’m currently doing.

Can you help me?

Both builds are triple meditations DPS with GS and S/W and berserker stuff.

1) 2-1-6-1-4

2) 2-5-6-0-1

I think the first one is a bit less bursty but more grindy, while the second one is more explosive.

What would you suggest sticking to for hotjoin and wvw solo roaming?
Thank you!

So what would a good setup be?
Something like air/rage on GS and fire/battle on S/F?

Very nice answer.
Now I’ll ask for some advice. Currently I’m running GS+S/F with full zerk stuff.
On my weapons I have sigils of force and accuracy. I don’t plan to pve much from now but just wvw (and spvp), so what sigil should I cut from my weapons? The obvious choice seems force, but I want to be sure seeing as they are pretty expensive on the TP.

So, I keep hearing that Sigil of Rage on a GS is very good because of how it works with WW, but I have no idea what that is about.
Can someone please elaborate?
Thanks guys!

Haha, I get it, I’ll stick with the zerg
On another note, what’s a good build for a zerking Guardian?

Cool, I’ll do that.
But just out of curiosity, while I was there I was completely alone. Could have I captured it by myself? And how?

Hi guys.
I’m completely new to WvW and I need some help. I’d like to unlock Trait II on the first line, and it seems I have to capture Infernos Needle. I went there, but I have no idea what needs to be done.
Can anyone help me please?

Hi guys, I’m pretty new to the Guardian class and to the game in general. Played it a while a couple of years ago, then started again recently.
For now, I hotjoin PvP (so that I get a hang on things) and solo PvE.

PvP builds
As I said, I mainly farm hotjoin to get better and to unlock rewards

PvP DPS meditations build
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAR8dlsApaodDxcI8DRR8QlZK+iW9BVFAX/DBROA-TJBHwAHuIAA3fAwTAoZZAA
I seem to do decently with it, as it has high damage and pretty high sustainability, and it’s not hard to use. It’s my main build.

PvP Bunker build
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAW7dlsApVo1CxUI8DRRFBldLOf6tB7DEgKcDA-TJxHwAILDY4JAob/BAXEAA
I think it’s more or less a classic bunker, it’s fun to play but I’d say it’s not ideal for hotjoin.

PvE builds
I’m still just level 40, but this is what I am aiming for

Spirit weapons

It’s pretty fun for soloing content. Is it also good for WvW or sPvP in your opinion, or should I stick with Meditations or Bunker?

Standard DPS

I took it from the sticky, it’s pretty efficient.

So, what do you guys think?

Just copy and paste it instead of clicking. GW2 forums block it for some reason.
I feel really bad.

Main rotation:
1) Start in air attunement, use 4 and 5.
2) Switch to fire, use 3, 4, Energy Wave, 5.
3) Go to water, heal up a bit, or go to air, run away like crazy.

It does very good damage while adding some survivability through runes/jewel and two utilities out of three. I went full power with some vitality and thoughness, but I can’t really understand if the extra survivability is really worth it, because while I rarely lose 1vs1s (my defeats are usually against pretty good warriors or guardians), it’s still very squishy, so sometimes I think about going full glass cannon with power, precision and critical damage. Testing against the dummy golems, I don’t see that much of a damage difference using Eagle of Mesmer runes and Berseker jewelry, and letting 10 traits in water and earth go to get +20 into air.

What do you guys think? Would it be worth it to go full glass cannon?
