Guild Wars 2

it’ll be even higher once season 2 starts. It’ll never go down

never.

Aza.2105:

So you want to change shield just because it doesn’t fit your build?

Guardian shield has been a lackluster option since release, same for torch (mostly #5), due to its long CDs for its short duration abilities.

Shield #4 is a 30s CD for only 3s of Protection and 300 dmg. In which, our hammer already does in its AA chain.

Ascended armor would be for Berserker

But if you are looking to learn, then go with exotic Knight’s armour + Berserker trinkets for PvE and Solider armour for WvW (zerging, not solo-roam)

you could prob just use solider + trooper runes in the meantime

My main set is berserker + traveler’s (Fractal, Solo-Roam, Dungeons, OpenWorld)
Zerging = solider+trooper

Thanks, this was useful. How come knight’s over soldiers in pve?

you won’t need the vit in PvE, so the dps increase from pre stat is good. Guards get away with melee assault cause they can blind stomp with 3 traits into radiance, GS leap, and focus 4

Shield of Judgment
½ Cast
30 Second Cooldown
- Create a shielding wave in front of you that stuns foes and gives protection to yourself and up to five allies.

Changed to be a cone stun would make this weapon more viable

I want Longbow please… so I can use Aether

Medi is 2/5/6/0/1 T_T

As a roaming Guardian, I have to avoid engis (they kite) and eles (we both out sustain, so the fight stalls out until they get reinforcement)

Here’s how to beat a every class with a Guardian:

1. Logout and go to character select
2. Carefully choose your Guardian and select delete and fill in the delete confirmation
3. Now, pick a new character, the warrior, and pick your story options
4. Take time and effort to travel through the story and level up your warrior to 80
5. Now equip your warrior with a hammer and a bow, this very important
6. Kill every class with little to no effort
7. ???
8. Profit

I run them both… the zoo guardian

Who says Guardians can’t have water fields?
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Healing_Seed_Pod

Why is my game in window mode a Chinese client

then take celesitial and give it to your ele

I made 200k gold

But iunno what else to buy

two options

Bunker for sustain but no dmg
Medi for burst dmg but no sustain

Or these two options:

Glass cannon burning
Spirit Weapon burst

But the current Engi/Necro meta has really put Guards in a bad spot, there isn’t enough condi removal in our set to deal with that kind of dmg right now.

Guardian is probably the worst support pick over Eles and Rangers to be honest.

Champ bags don’t have precursors in them only unique exotics

krooton.8035:

Guardians are bottom of the pack DPS-wise.

What. Guardians have the highest dps under Staff eles.

I don’t know how people go about their guardian lives w/o travler runes, the normal run speed is painful.

Mace → sPvP
Torch → Condi
Shield → Trashcan

Pve?

Zerker. /thread. GG No Re.

Errant Venture.9371:

Charak.9761:

actually endure pain shouldn’t decap

Currently you can contest points with Endure Pain up though really you shouldn’t be able to do so considering other forms of invulnerability (Mist form, Renewed Focus, Distortion, Elixer S) and stealth do not allow you to contest points..

Yeah I was agreeing that it shouldn’t be able to decap when enabled, since it works like guardian renew

I think more PvE players went into it

and lots of PvP vet players left it

“I can’t afford a legendary, therefore I don’t need one”

15v15 would have to be a GvG thing but 2 years and we still have no GvG

actually endure pain shouldn’t decap

jc 500 will be offering legendary amulets

I’ve already got thousands of silver/gold/ori saved up at the moment

Medi is the best solo build for Guards
Shouts for fractals/WvW/BunkerPvP

Condi/Spirit/Etc for sPvP

What I want for Guardians:

Soft CC
Burn Protection (either ignite the damage on cleanse, or provide other condi)
Torch/Shield Changes
Spirit Health/duration
DPS Elite (tired of renewed)

If you’re rolling a guardian for it, you can deal damage passvily while focusing on the orbs

Already got it covered with video/build:

Enjoy.

I have an amd 965

I’d rather have an i7

No, aim for 2700 for roaming

I made this for you:

Zepher.7803:

the overlay is fine to use, it doesn’t give people an advantage because it’s US against the mobs but if you feel you can beat a world boss solo…and keep the spawn a secret, more power to ya.

OH and Thanks Anet for the API in the first place, awesome stuff

sadly they butchered the dynamic events and the corresponding api when they introduced the megaserver system. it makes me a very sad panda.

well, bosses only spawn twice a day now at 12/hr intervals, one per hour

and therefor they butchered the dynamic event, pretty much. It now is pretty much static.

so much for the “living world” eh

You can only make a spirit weapon build for sPvP where the burst will get your furthur than in WvW/PvE where you’ll need some sustain.

However, I noticed that my current spirit build has started getting heavily countered and loss its former glory. One aspect of the build was using lyssa rune to go into tome for the #5 full heal, since it’ll grant you stability when you go into it but it’s since been butchered.

then don’t use those apps. You can still use it.

Using it for browser window for WvW RI timers for solo roaming
Also has an overlay for music, twitch+chat, and has boss timers.

Meh, if its hotjoin that’ll happen. It’s easy, and if you are on the winning team and you get AB, they just afk most of the time cause they still get win bonus.

iunno, I think engi works with the shield

If you would like to ask any questions, or need some tips, or have some concerns, please leave a comment and I’ll be happy to help.

You’ll realize valor is a bad trait line later on (or that is purely for medi builds now)

In any case, 4/5/0/0/5 is the PvE DPS build but if you need some survivability try

2/5/0/5/2, you drop some dmg for 2500 health, vigor, and heal on dodge

PvE = 4/5/0/0/5

Well, this is my current solo-roam build in WvW

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAR8dl0ApboVDxcI8DRR8gkjtfaVVgr/FMHA-ThSBABBu/QWKDoU9HzUCGxRA4KlMYpUCPdDLcBAA4hAQIAZbBA-e

The problem with those elites is that it leaves you too open to being burst w/o renewed. The only decent time was when you could run lyssa + tome so you can use it in conjunction with stability.

That’s why you can use both sceptor/sword and take advantage of RHS

or, drop the sword, use only the sceptor, drop 10 from radiance and +10 in zeal for 10% scepter damage

If you only play alone what are you tanking for?

if it’s for spvp, this works as a permanent cap control:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNApdWlsApUo1CxVI8DNhCBl9Q6//x+Cr4EXFAA-TJxHwAILDY4JAA4UA8a/BA

You abuse the 6th bonus of the rune to give you room to heal back up from a burst.

Yeah, a ‘good’ ele will stall you or kill you if you don’t have your own way to regen. Poisoning can be cleansed through attunement swap or dodge roll.

but like someone else said, you need to save your CDs/burst for when they switch out of water, then you got 8 seconds to stomp them before its back to a stall out.

It’s 60% burn duration vs. your 75%, and it doesn’t matter about how long it takes to ramp up duration it doesn’t add more damage, the current meta is condi engi/necro, so everyone is running condi removal, a burn build is negated by things like an ele dodge roll cleanse, thief stealth cleanse.

I would argue that guardians need a way to protect our burning since it’s essentially our only condi… so something like:

-Ignite the condition, if cleansed, for 30% of the remaining damage, so stacking it to 25 second cap will be alot of damage if its immediately removed.

or

-Burning has a 30% chance to not be dispelled by cleanse

Gold =/= Progression

so people are turning to goldsellers b/c of it
