It recharges only when you rally. Rallying is when you’re downed and a mob that you have tagged dies, then you rally(get back up with.. 50%? hp).

I like the skill 5 of the shield, but I think the skill 4 could give us some blocks.
I’d say give Shield of Judgement either 5s of self Aegis or remove cast time. Why is there a cast time anyway?
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
Renewed Focus, duration is too short, and cast is too slow. I would not say it is useless I have used a while but dont think it worths a slot.
Are you talking about it’s too long to renew Virtues?
If not, you got me totally lost. How is 3 seconds of immunity too short AND too long?
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
It doesn’t burn you, so it doesn’t procs. o_o
Zealot’s Flame puts a boon on you that put 3s of burn every second for 3 seconds to nearby foes..

- Does it renew the virtue of courage passive? So, for example, can I get four aegis blocks in quick succession: One from courage passive, one from courage active, one from courage passive after renewal, and one from it’s active after renewal?
- Is its duration increased like the other elite skills with the trait?I think at the very least Renewed focus should grant stability, and allow for movement and action. Endure pain does this, and while warriors are without a number of healing abilities guardians have, I don’t think this would break the skill.
I don’t know about first question, but according to wiki, duration increase to 5s with Elite Focus or whatever is the Major Trait. You don’t need it if you time it well. 3 seconds is plenty.
As for granting Stability, I like the idea. Imo, they shouldn’t give us the ability to move while casting Renewed Focus, but a 3-5 seconds Stability would be pretty nice.
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
I use renewed focus after I started using a shout/boon/anti cc build.
The change that I would like to see on Renewed Focus would be any one of the following:
- recharge all virtues, invulnerability 3 secs, and grant protection and regen for 5 seconds to up to 5 allies. (600 yards and cooldown is now 120 secs)
- recharge all virtues, invulnerability 3 secs, break stun and remove all conditions to you and up to 5 allies (600 yards and cooldown is now 120 secs)
- create a dome that prevents enemies/projectiles from entering and heals up to 5 allies for 1/5 of health over 6 seconds (600 yards, remove invulnerability, last 6 seconds, and cooldown is now 120 secs). – Close to the Sanctuary but tweaked.
I tried to balance it with longer recharge but I dunno just some thoughts.
Oh please no, leave it as it is with 90s. I don’t want a longer cd.

Only 48, so not much of a loss. I was in Whisper, going to Vigil, because Vigil has the stats I want on an armor, which is both Vitality and Toughness(Vigil Armors has Vit/Tough/Power).
I know there is different ways to get them, I heard from WvW and tokens from SE or another dungeon I’ve forgot name of, but that’s 50 runs to get a full set. Not sure about WvW, but anyway, I’d still have needed to make 2 alts for Vigil and Priory achievements.
I had a Ranger before, which I’ve chosen Whisper, but I didn’t like Rangers, so I took Whisper on my Guardian because I wanted to know more about the story, but apparently that was a bad choice.
Even if this is my 3rd time re-exploring everything below 45, I’m still having a blast. There isn’t many games like that.
ahhhh haha really a bad choice?? i’m with Whispers right now >_> i wanted prec, tough and conditon on mine though so i went with them. my wife is a thief so it made more sense for her i guess (class vs lore-wise) but the armor was enticing.
true though for all the cheevos and what not. you liking Vigil so far? i thought you weren’t able to get the other Order sets if you weren’t in it? though going the other route to get the armor sets seem kind of too much lol.
and agree about the game. it’s SO. MUCH. FUN.
Personally, it was a bad choice, because it’s the only easy way of getting the stats I want on a set. I’m still curious about Whisper Story though. Oh well..
I’ve remade my char last night, so I’m not in Vigil yet. Yes, you can’t get the sets from other Orders, which is why I’m remaking, so I can join Vigil and get their set.
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
good call on the staff for DE. agreed, esepcially at lower levels, all weps should suffice and just match one up to your personal playstyle : )))
and wow, what level was your previous Guardian? and what Order you going from and to? just curious.

I’ve been remaking my guardian to change of Order. I’ve tried GS for most of my early 20. Other than the 3rd hit of auto and Whirlwind Wrath, not much of a fan about it. I like that the 3rd hit is aoe, unlike Mace and Sword.. As soon as I hit 20, I went back with the combo I’ve been using before(Sword/Focus).
What do you mean by questing? Do you mean hearts? You shouldn’t have any problem with hearts with Hammer, GS, Mace or Sword. Staff is more of a DE thingy, as you can tag a lot of things, while Scepter’s auto is pretty horrible.

My elite just healed minions instead of the necro I tried to save.

Just wondering, if anyone knows. About Merciful Intervention, would it targets a npcs/minions and is the heal an aoe heal, says create an healing spring around them? How big is that spring if it’s an actual aoe?

Traited last 12s. Without trait is 10s I believe. Description is misleading.
Are you sure you’re not thinking of Wall of Reflection?
No? Go time it.
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
Retreat, Save Yourselves and Symbol of Swiftness are out only options sadly.

I used Mace/Shield for AC Story and below 35. Switched to Sword/Focus later on, way better imo.

You get kicked out if you don’t do anything for a certain amount of time. I don’t know how long it is, but I’m assuming an hour.

Monthly survivor isn’t working properly, unless you mean we aren’t suposed to log out and get 100k exp without leaving the map.
As for hero one, still at 0 for me.

Try using a Staff, Save Yourselves!, or Retreat!
Staff is not my weapon (s) of choice for combat situations.
Speed is nice when not in combat, retreat is terrible utility unless you are just running and not fighting
Save yourself is nice but it has a long CD. 10% really isnt that much. Just an idea.
Once again, im not trying to complain. Just thought it would be kind of cool.
AoE Aegis every 48s(with trait) is terrible?
You can use a staff even if it’S not your weapon of choice, we can have 2 weapon set you know. I’m personally using a staff as 2nd set for the swiftness.

Isn’t there a boon icon when you use a tome? As for the trait, http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elite_Focus.

1 vit = 10 hp, so that’S where that 1k hp is from. Guardians have 10k ish base HP at 80, while Warriors have 16k or 18k, forgot exact numbers.

I’d also like to see a block on the shield.
About Shield of Judgement, you throw a huge spirit shield forward or whatever, so it’s kinda unique to the shield. I’m not a fan of it either and would like Protector’s Strike instead, but a mace throwing a shield? I’d say they’d need to change the animation of Shield of Judgement if they switch them.
I’m currently using a Focus for Shield of Wrath(up to 3 blocks within 4s, 45s cd). Not much of a fan of Ray of Judgement since blind doesn’t make bosses miss.. but hey, I can block up to 3 attacks and if it doesn’t block 3, it does a load of damage.
I’m hoping something will be done about shields in the future.

My only concern about virtues is Virtue of Resolve, when you use it, it barely heal anything. The passive effect is fine, though I wouldn’t mind if it was higher. Even if you use the Major Trait that increase Resolve’s passive effect, it’s barely anything..
Justice is fine. I mostly use it for the blind anyway.
About Courage, I’d personally like to see the passive cooldown. Like a little countdown somewhere, without grey-ing JoC.
Signet of Mercy.. I heard it doesn’t actually revive, but rally someone only(someone downed, not dead). About having it as a Virtue, that’s seems a pretty good suggestion.

Cant copy the entire thing into this forum, because it doesnt allow posts of any decent length.
All of this is true. Actually surprised to see other people had the same strategy as us in the trap room. As for the howling king path, an alternative to killing the burrows/breeders in the lovers crypt, is to not kill anything at all.
All we did was run circles with swiftness around all the burrows attracting aggro until he finished his artifacts. Doing it this way is probably the easiest way to be honest =P.
But overall, awesome guide!
Are you still going to upload a video of you running it?
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
Flashing Blade and Zealot’s Defense have a perfectly fine cooldown. I do agree that Flashing Blade doing little to no damage is a little lame, but with its cd, I’m fine. A blind every 10s. Zealot’s Defense blocks projectiles while being a mid range attack. I don’t see myself use it often, but its cd is fine.
Now for off hands.. Shield skills’ cd are ridiculous, you’re basicly forced to take the 20% cd reduction trait to have a somewhat decent cd. I used to have a shield, but I’ve switch to a focus now. Imo, Shield of Wrath, having 45s cd, is more useful than both shield skill combined, in addition to Ray of Judgement, giving me another blind, which has 1200 range.
Sword’s skills are fine. Imo, shield need a little tweak somewhere.
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
You should report that.
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
Tbh, I think dungeons gives too much exp, not enough drops. :s
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
Oh one more to add, I think that the focus ability “Shield of wrath” Doesnt last long enough on a character, It only lasts 3 seconds and I think it should last about eight, Its practically gone the moment you hit the button
Duration is 4 seconds and it’s fine.
The sword ability “Flashing blade” only teleports you when a target is selected, I think it should always teleport you regardless of if you have a target or not, it wouldnt be a massive change because if you want to teleport all you have to do is select a target and use the ability, so why not let us teleport without requiring a target?
I guess it could be nice, but then they’d need to change it for other classes. I forgot what weapon it is, but mesmer has a skill that summon a clone at the target then can switch place with it to be near the target.

I have yet to do other dungeons, but AC is pretty fun and not that hard.
I was so scared because of all the whinings about how hard it is that it made me think about my builds too much. Joined a party, did an explore run, and guess what? It’s not as hard as people says. It’s fun too.

Used your guide yesterday to do option 1, thanks a bunch!

It doesn’t seems to work on bosses, or atleast some bosses..
I put blind on them, but when they attack with blind, it doesn’t miss.

The only reason I see to rush would be to pick an order then complete the initiation at 39, so you get the achievement. No other reason to rush.

Looked through TP earlier… Is it me or there is no more armor with both Vitality and Toughness on the same piece after 60?
Vigil Armor has, if you’ve choosen that path. Though their armor is Rare at best, but it’s not that much of a difference if you prefer those stats.
Are you kidding me? Now I have to remake my Guardian if I want those 2 stats on each piece?
Dungeon gear also has those stats. And is exotic level.
Looked at dungeon shops for 80, didn’T seems to have both Vit and Tough on a single piece. I might go for a remake, not like I mind that much anyway, but it’s kinda lame that an Order gets a special order of stats on their gears…
Sorrow’s Embrace and Honor of the Waves vendors both have level 80 exotic armor with power, vitality, and toughness on it.
Oh thanks! I missed the 2nd tab of gears. I guess I won’t remake then. Still need Vigil’s achievement though.. xD

Anyone from Order of Vigil could tell me the exact stats on Heavy Armor? Thanks in advance.

You actually don’t even have to destroy the burrows. Just make sure everyone has a swiftness boon and a melee weapon with some arc spreading and run circles around the map. Whenever some of the gravelings go and attack any of the artifacts you need to protect, just have one person run over there and smack a couple to attract aggro and run away. Honestly, doing it this way is MUCH easier then having to kill anything. While doing this, my group just has a casual conversation. I’ll upload a video of how to do this a few hours.
Looking forward for it. Please post the link when done.

I believe there is an option for that, melee assist or something like that?
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
Happens to me. Sometimes when I switch to my Staff to use Symbol of Swiftness, my char start auto attacking mobs and no, there’s no mobs that walk on my symbol.
What I think I’ve noticed is that if you have a mob targetted and that you use a buff, auto attack will trigger. Not sure though, but it’s what I think atm.

Had 2 ele, 1 thief, 1 guardian and 1 necro. We tried over 10 times. Gave up at the end because it was too late for me(5am). The thief didn’t had sword/pistol, is it only that weapon set that can interrupt?
Did you kill burrows in a particular order? Now I know that the 4th and 7th summons breeders, so I usually focus on those burrows.
I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand.
Any quick tips? We’re struggling at the first part of option 3. The one where we’re in Lovers’ Crypt and burrows spawns. We get overwhelmed because of breeders and burrows. Highest we got is like 67%.

Welp, as a promised update, we ran enough Catacombs on all modes enough times for us to get one Ascalonian Greatsword each (390 Tears). Here are some screenshots!
Our total tears
Price of Greatsword
Both of us checking out our swords
Kazul just being a kitten.Unfortunately, we just finished getting the tears JUST as it was turning day. So we didn’t get to see our weapons in glowy awesomeness. But this overall proves that the dungeons are possible with teamwork =]. We did all of this in 2 days.
Cry moar ghosts! Your tears bring me joy! Quite literally.
May I ask for the stats? How are they compared to the other items of the same level range?

I used to love the level scaling system, but then I took an harpy to the knee. Lol, a DE started right next to me while I was npc’ing/using TP and I almost died to a crowd of harpies.
Love this system. I don’t want it to go away. May sounds weird, but when things are easy, too easy, it’s boring.
