I am leveling both at the same time and I definitely notice better survivability in PvE, sPvP and WvW on my guardian. The down state on Guardian is AMAZING. When I get downed on my Warrior I just hope for the time to run out but when I get downed on my Guardian I can very often finish the mob and get back up.
The main thing I miss on Guardian is my rifle. I duo with a ranger a lot and it is easier to hang back and plink or stay away from huge DE mobs.
I can’t get even close to 40% crit with Soldier’s Amulet. Can anyone link a crit build that includes sPvP equipment?
PS Having equipment with the same name and totally different stats is silly.
I don’t see how to get even close to the stats described in sPvP. I have to wear the knight or Zerker amulet to get my crit up to recommended levels but that drops my toughness or power in the crapper.
I’m also feeling super squishy when I’m alone or facing 2-3 people which happen a lot in pug sPvP.
I’m sort of newb to all this but is Rune of the Pack as good as it seems at first glance?
PvP Rune of the Pack
Power: 25
5% chance to gain swiftness for 30s when hit. (cooldown: 60s)
Power: 50
5% chance to grant nearby allies Might, Fury and Swiftness when you attack. (Cooldown: 10s)
Power: 90
Precision: 100
Seems like the extra buff procs would work with Altruistic Healing right?
@MithranArkanere – You know it is already pinned to the Euro and it isn’t an exchange rate right?
@GADefence – Agreed.
I don’t care if you have to change gem store prices. I just want to easily know how much things cost. I want to spend money I just don’t want to feel like It is being obscured from me.
There is a lot of loud feedback from the spoiled children cohort. Please do not pay attention to them. There are thousands more happily playing this game because it is FUN. Increasing the difficulty of their skinner box is exactly what you should have done. Those of us that are still playing and enjoying this amazing and beautiful game because it is fun beg you not to turn it into another end game treadmill.
TLDR; You’re doin’ it right!
