Ok right on harbringer thanks for the reply, that clears it up, Think ill try to have a set of hammer/sword to build bloodlust and a set of strength for once the stack is up.
My unbuffed crit is right about 35%, not sure how that would play in. With sword I seem to stack might pretty well. Hammer not nearly as well of course. I do like the idea of having a set with strength and a set with bloodlust, but if I stack bloodlust up on my character would you event get the might stacks since you already have bloodlust>? I thought you could not have both at the same time.
What do you all recommend for WvW sigils,
I am a little unsure…
Right now I have strength on my GS
Hammer i’m considering Bloodlust
1h sword I use air + Focus with force for single target burst – Combines with GS for burst chains.
Staff I like blood
I am curious what combos other guardians heavily recommend and why and really curious about the best use of strength/bloodlust for the GS/Hammer combo.
Thanks!
- should add I am using the boonway build with 100% swiftness and 65% static boon duration. Mix of PVT and Zerker armor/weps.
Finally doing some wvwvw, what a great set up. Being able to have 100% swiftness and then still having the great self healing and condition removal with solid dps. It is a blast to play. Thank you again kharel.
awesome info thanks!
Hey Kharel, for WvWvW what weapon combos do you like. I have been reading a lot that many guardians prefer a staff for good aoe and utility if in a zerg with maybe hammer. Septer seems fairly broken.
when roaming I was thinking Hammer and GS
what do you recommend when roaming and then we in a zerg? Thanks!
- Also what upgrades to the weps do you recommend and why. Thanks!

You will be hard pressed to reach 3k armour without putting points into the Valor tree. I would say focus on ~2500, as I find that is enough to stave off most hard attacks and doesn’t sacrifice too much. (Though I don’t WvW much, mainly PvE)
I’m planning on going for celestial ascended amulet and earrings atm, with berserker rings and back. Currently though I’m still in Exotics so it’ll be a while yet, I currently have full PVT armour with berserker hammer and trinkets and it is working out for me.
Ya I am getting my amulet today and I planned on the earings as well. I may Do the rest of the accessories celestial. I am also using beserker weps and right now im at around 2400 armor, I think that will be right about 2500 with the amulet or so. My current amulet is my last non exotic piece. I seems to be doing well in PVE explorable dungeons but I have yet to start fractcals which I plan on doing this weekend and wvw, been waiting on my last monk rune which I get today to finish the spec. Sounds like im right in line with what is typical for the spec.
I also see what Kharel is saying with twinking your gear for your play style. One thing I am finding I really enjoy about this game is there is no right or wrong way really, just play styles. Some like more offensive and some more defensive. both have their advantages. I am finding mine is somewhere in the middle. big part of the reason I like this spec and gear set up. Frankly I love the mobility and condition removal! I am expecting to really enjoy this in wvw. I was always more of a roamer in pvp games, Although I am sure I will jump in the zergs some too. Thanks again for the replies.
Hi Kharel. What is your armor currently at? I see a lot of people talking about 3k armor for wvwvw, how do you feel about that stat and how it works with this build. Thanks! Trying to nail down what approx stats I should be looking for to work best for this build. Thanks again!
ok would you recommend pvt weps and trinkets then? I have pretty much all the karma pvt armor cept no helm so got an exotic knights helm. Thanks!
Hi Kharel. I just hit 80 and I have been gearing up this spec, just need my monk runes and pretty much set,
I should have my ascendance amulet in 3 days too so that will help,
Just wanted to confirm you are using PVT armor pieces, beserker/ascendance trinket pieces and a beserker based stat weapon.
Also how do you feel the new thief and warrior changes may effect this build. Thanks!
Bugged on fort aspenwood still , thanks!
right on, thanks again!
Hi Kharel. I was wondering if it is not to much trouble if you could list out an ideal set of armor/accessories/wep to get at 80 exotic, accessible from karma/gold (TP)/ and where to locate the pieces to make an optimal set for this build. I see someone above recommend some soldiers etc so wanted to clarify what mix would make the best exotic mix with accessible items. Thank you! Also wanted to confirm if you were still using the same runes etc on your link.
Thank you very much!!! I will put this into use right away, I booked marked this post so I can reference that info while I level. Thanks again!
This is my first post on these boards, I had the game since release but IRL was crazy and I finally just starting playing a love it. My gaurdian is about to hit 25, I enjoy looking at these forums and reasearching gaurdian builds and ideas for when I am 80. I really enjoy both GS and Hammer and I have messed around a fair bit with staff for traveling in pve and secpter/focus for ranged. I really like the idea of this build as my main focus will be wvwvw at 80. Are you still really enjoying this build. I am excited to try it. What tips can you give to a new player and gaurdian for the basics of this builds senergy to use. Thank you!
