Guild Wars 2

150% is normal, and then 103% through traits+gear. Zerkeramor/Weapon (2 Rings are Valkyrie), Rune of Divinity.

Warbanner buffs Swiftness too, to all partymembers. Warbanner>Signet of Rage if u are playing in a Group.

Oglaf.1074:

You’d be hard pressed to keep 10+ stacks with an Axe build, yes. With some Might duration you could at the most get 11 stacks for a short period when your FGJ overlap for short bit+Signet of Rage.

What is with Partymembers? They can buff Might too. Signet of Rage suxx btw, u can give all 3 Boons to your partymembers by using Warbanner. Two Warriors + FGJ and your whole party will have Fury and 16+Mightstacks.

Event if Warbanner is on CD, it´s better. Signet=Might+Fury for 1 Person 3/4 of the Time. Warbanner Might+Fury for 5 Persons 1/4 of the time, unskilled.

Weaponswitch Disciplin 25 and Sigil of Battle will give the Axt some more Mightstacks. It´s not hard to reach 25 Stacks of Might with an Axe if u are playing in a normal good group.

Kamil.1039:

Norjena, what weapons do you use ?

All^^, depending on the Situation. But most times i use the Greatsword/Staff Combination.

If u are playing in a good Gruop, u will get 15+ Stacks or more from your partymembers. The missing Stacks u will get from Weaponswitch (Disciplin 25) and/or Sigil of Battle on Axe/Mace and Axe/Sword for example.

I play my Guard with 253% Critdmg (no ascended items). On a 0/5/30/30/5 build. Im sure i will deal more dmg then every “ZealBuild” (Zealdmg Boost is rly low, most of the Traits are rly weak) and im harder to kill because of AH.

And my Group Support is better too.

So my is Build better. If u rly want pure dmg, u have to search a Warrior. I´d like the Idea of a dps Guard, but at the moment there is no way to build one viable.

Brutalys 1000hours review show us where the problems are. He is right with his opinion.

Full Zerkers Amor+Critdmg from Juwelery, is enough to crit for more then 1k. And yes, he said that it was a crit.

Prezzy.2783:

Well i run full zerker Armour and balance trinkets (solari, Sunari, triforge, 2x karka shell earring) Axe’s hit for about 1k with auto attack, and thats on a crit. 100B hits for 15-20k, easily.

Fully buffed Axe Chain 3 can hit for over 6k dmg. 3 times in 1,5sec! Your 1k Autoattack Crit is just a lie.

If u compoare only HB with the Axe Chain, u will fail. Because HB has got a CD, and within this CD the Axe will still do the same DPS.

U will fall like a flie in melee Combat. And Warrios will laugh about your dmg.

GC Guard is Fail, u can´t reach warrios dmg, and will lose everything what a Guardian makes to be a Guardian.

Painful but true, more then 10 Points in Zeal is a waste, a rly big waste.

First, Sry for my bad english.

U did rly great work. I hope they will not ignore it, your Ideas are amazing.

But something is missing.

1. Burn alone is to weak to make conditiondamage as good as power/crit. So 300 more Conditiondmg is Radiance is useless, we can´t play a good Conditiondmg build. Even if are the only 1 who makes our enemys burn. Other Conditions are….not for a Guardian. Poison and bleeding will break the Class´s feeling. Ikittennow what i mean.

So this need another Solution. Possibel a second Class Mechanic.

For example Torch 4 “set yourself alight”, add this to some other Weapons or Slotskills too, and give us some Traits which will benefit if u set yourself “alight”….like Inner Fire for example like u said.

Radiance could increase “Alight” Duration for 30% (or something like this)….the name of this Traitline will be perfect too.

2. The sword is boring. Only 1, 2 (rly low dmg) and a 15sec CD…

3. The Torch, 5 deals low dmg, autohits are better. This skills needs a big! dmg increase. This will make 1h builds to be more fun too.

Greetings

Most Speedruns Groups can stack 20Stacks Might or more, for all partymembers.

For example 2Warriors, 2 Guards 1 Mesmer. 2*3 (For greater Justice)+Both Guards with empowering Might (5 Stacks standart). Additional Might (Virtues, Weaponswitch) or Warbanner.
And u have got your Might even with an Axe Build.

U can use Axe/Sword (4 is a Hardhitter, let your Enemy Bleed and pull your Sword out before the debuff will end). And 5 is a nice blockingskill with low CD.
Or Axe/Maxe, oder Axe/Axe/Shield/Warhorn (13 of 20Seconds Vigor….)

Im trying to find a Build to use both Weapons, im testing around with 30/0/0/10/30, 20/25/0/10/15, 20/25/0/0/25. Or some others. To figure out how i can use HB (on CD 6 1/2 or 8 sec) and then switch to my Axe for stronger Autoattacks.

I rly don´t know which build is now the best, it´s not easy to figure it out.

Nike.2631:

Serious as a heart attack: why do people put 30 points in the tank line and expect to be primary damage dealers?

1. 30% Critdmg is neccesary for dmg Specc´s.
2. Both upper Traitlines are bad>no def anymore, still not enough dmg (to mach warriors). And no Support
3. U need -20% CD on 2handed Weapons>20 more Points in aanother “Tanky” Tree.

Warrios dmg is superior, by far. 17k 100Blades does a “Tank” Warrior, if warrios want to deal dmg, they can hit for 30-40k (or even more) 100k fully buffed (and enemy debuffed).
I don´t have to they how much dmg he deals then with normal hits, or an Axe (5k+ on Chain 3>3times in 1 1/2 Sec).

Guardian is great with AH, tanky even with Zerker´s Gear. But it´s impossibel (even with any GC Build) to deal dmg similar to warriors.

And all who say Guardian´s are for support….Warrios have great uniqe support to. Their Banners for example, they have buff rage, and they are rly good at dispelling conditions.
Sry, for my bad english. Im normaly only writing in the german forums. But i just want to say this.

Have a nice day, greetings
