Which dungeons do you mean?
I know that for Fractals, regardless of level, they are practically useless.
It’s much better for the warrior to get a little beef for himself to survive and dish out some serious DPS.Now, if you don’t role with a Guardian.. I can see a little use..
Can you expand on this?
Yesterday, I was with my Guildie in FoTM level 20.
It was 2 War 2 Gurd 1 Ele. It was fun, we got wiped a couple times but.
Anyway, since all of my guildie was DPS oriented, I thought it would be nice to have one supportish guy.
Therefore, I was thinking of getting full Cleric’s with Soldiers rune, Warhorn and IBS traits to keep people up and running.
But seems that’ll make me useless? I thought Regeneration here and there plus the Warhorn converting seemed nice.
Or are you simply saying, if all of my guildie was good at dodging/etc you don’t need those support, thus making pure DPS much useful?
My current build is 10/30/15/0/15 with sword/shield and LB or Hammer.
but thinking of going 0/30/20/0/20 for Mobile Strike and Last Stand.
that would kill Berserker’s Strength.
So, the question is which is more important?
Berserker Strength with 100 power and 10% condi duration OR 5% more on Crit damage plus Mobile Strike and 50 point each on Toughness and Healing plus Last Stand or Honorable Shield…
This is for WvW btw, any advice is appreciated!
All weapon have their own purpose, it is probably best for you to try all of the weapons and find which weapon that feel comfortable for you.
Al tough Longbow is probably hard to use, if you want ranged you might want to try Rifle, don’t get me wrong Longbow are awesome, just hard to get use to.
Axes is sustained Damage with Burst Attack that dose insane damage.
Sword is condition damage making the normal attack little weak but with Bleeds, Burst dose Low damage but you apply a lot of Bleed plus immobilize for 3 seconds at max.
Mace is Control with a Burst Attack with Stun which is different from immobilize because you still can use your ability while you are on immobilize but with Stun you can’t do anything.
Any of off hand of one these weapons serves almost the same purpose.
Great Sword is Burst as you may already know, Burst attack is kinda boring, you just get buffs.
Hammer is awesome for knocking down people stunning with their Burst Attack, just pure control.
Longbow is Area damage and Rifle is more single target.
As for dealing enemy, specially the thief is to try and make a some sort of combo going, and I am not talking about fields combo.
I’m Sword/Shield Longbow and if I do correctly in this order, people are on the ground before they know what’s going on.
The order is: Start from Longbow, #3 skill, #5 and Burst Skill, switch to Sword/Shield, Shield #1 skill, Berserker Stance, Flurry(sword Burst Skill), and Fear Me while auto-attacking.
If they are GC build thief, they are goner, of course I can’t make this happen every single time, but it’s good starter.
The point is, find your favorite weapon, and find your combo.
Hope this helps, cheers.
Hey there, this is my experience with Sword/Shield LB build in WvWvW solo.
The build is, 0/30/20/0/20.
So far I tried full Rabid Gear, I had some success, however, it is undeniable that enemy can cure bleed way too quick for it’s full potential.
So I also did a mix of Zerker and Knights, with again S/Sh LB, obviously the Raw Damage was nice and when your LB’s number 3 skill hits for 5K I felt awesome.
And to be honest Sword raw damage was not bad at all, the each hit was actually identical to the Axe Raw damage, however the Flurry only served one purpose, to immobilize ,and of course Axe Auto Attack hits multiple time so, still Axe was the way to go with this Gear.
Then I tried Rabid with Zerk and Valk. with Divinity Runes, same build.
It was awesome, example being the Flurry hits a person for around 2.5k to 3K while you apply 85ish Bleed damage. Auto Attack is decent with decent Bleed, not mention LB’s Burning hits pretty good as well as Arcing Arrow usually do 3.5k to 4k which was not bad at all.
So, if anyone out there considering condition build, I suggest you try mixing with Rabid/Zerk or Valk for Gear, and not to take full on either side.
On the side note, I don’t recommend doing this in PvE, you obviously want maxed DPS or Condition.
Cheers.

About the Bank.
Your Items and collectible will remain the same.
Which I did not think that’s the case, so if you are planning to do this make sure you put all the valuable in the Bank before deleting.
But isn’t it little strange that you need 1800 Gem to only transfer your character progression? I would buy all the slot for the bank and delete, transfer…Since this game is 1 Level = 80 Level, but that is just my opinion.
Happy Hunting everyone.
Sorry, I had to go to work.
Anyhow whoever is curious about this, the answer is..
No, you will not lose your progress.
After I delete every character and transferred, My Laurel, Gem, and my Account Medal including sPvP Rank remained the same.
If you don’t mind making another 80 from a scratch and gather all the mats and all the Karma you need, this might be an option for you.
Cheers.

There are across all of your toon.
I think I will go ahead and try it.
Sorry about your loss, might wanna ask for a refund eh?
Oh, well the thing is I saw a post from Dev stating that if you delete all of your character and Xfer, you don’t need 1800 gems.
That is why I am wondering.
But that was like 10 days ago, maybe that was a limited thing.
Even if you delete every character, your account is still attached to that parent server. Thus you will still have to pay. Therefor you shouldn’t delete all your characters…
Already tried it.
Thanks but wont my parent server move if I delete and choose another server?
But you are you saying you already tried so, the answer to this question is I will lose everything if I delete the character and move to another server, correct?
and transfer to another server, will I lose everything such as Laurel?
Thanks
Today was my first day into the great world of WvWvW.
I was running around Soloing as well as following the Zerg time to time,
build was 0/0/30/20/20 with Hammer Mace/Shield, with Knights/Zerker/Valkyrie Armor/Jewel. All Exotics.
And it sucked…big time. First thing I noticed was I totally needed ranged weapon, which was obvious. But I came prepared, I had my decent Scepter with me! changed my Mace to the Scepter, and while Scepter did a decent job at it, I never changed back to the Mace, ever.
Felt meh, and changed my build to 0/30/30/5/5 with Right handed strength, changed my weapon to Sword/Shield / Scepter/Focus.
And it was awesome!! I almost wet my pants! compare to the build before survivability felt the same but twice as much damage, Solo was fun, with more boost in Scepter, Zerg was fun as well.
But one thing that worries me is that, with this build I might not be as effective as before when I PvE.
So please, if any other Guardian runs a similar build, please share your experience in PvE specially in dungeon and fractals.
I use to do sPvP and now I’m interested in WvW.
As I understand it it is impossible to get a stat such as link below.

I’m so use to that builder it kinda confused me.
When I look at exotic jewel/weapon and armor,
Even when all combined it doesn’t seem to get even close.
Because guardian is overpowered immortal godlike holy knight?
From A’net POV, apparently….
The question about craft daily is, why add them?
Sure, it maybe easy as matter of 10 second, but there is clearly people doesn’t care about crafting (Not me, I like them), more so, even if it’s 10 second if you can achieve by doing the refinement, what’s the point?
Trick to get people into crafting…? maybe?
Obtena and Relentliss both have point, it is kind of silly to imagine that A’net nerfed this without any directions what so ever.
However, without any comment on the future patch or anything on that matter, and just simply nerfing it is also silly and make us suspicious about A’net direction with Guardians, thus people just complain or new people might even think it’s bugged when your SW dies in 3 hits.
Simple fix for this is one of Dev or whoever from A’net should comment on this matter with what’s going on with SW and Guardian in general.
I just don’t get it, I just do not get this!
Why? Why make already nerfed skills obsolete?
Come on A’net, please tell us this is not what you intended and fix is coming!
Not just little health increase…well, maybe for temporary fix…but something must be done.
I too have a lag issue there, it is weird though I never have lag anywhere else, even in WvWvW.
Alright folks!
Yojack’s build looks great and I will give it a shot.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you all for reply.
I understand it’s an obvious choice to go Axe or Mace….It’s just that I really can’t stand the look and the feel, more of a role play I guess…
Anyhow, if it’s a must I would drop Sword, but as you guys suggested that’s not really the case (thank god), other then Fractals…
If any of you can spare bit more time, tell me why is it not OK in fractals?
Do the require specific build? or just switching to Axe or Mace will do the trick?
Thanks in advance.
Hello, currently I’m running Sword/Shield Longbow combination, and I’m loving it.
And even thought I have no traits in Arms, I like the damage on my sword and that + from bleed is actually helped me quite a lot in battles.
I only have tried this in sPvP and some what in PvE, but I have not reach the level for the dungeons yet.
So the question is, My trait suggest that I am somewhat DPS and somewhat Tank, a hybrid,
but will people look at me and say “oh my, shield and board? and longbow!? and doesn’t even have shouts boost nor banner boost! ( regeneration and such )No Way!”
Or something alike will happen? This is the Build : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNAseDIAQKsKLThiUParO5SFOD;TgAg0CooqxUjoGbNuak1A
Any advice would be appreciated.
