Like to start an all Guard team! First few pilot matches will be a BYOB (bring your own build). Looking to eventually be competitive once a solid team is formed. Other than that it’s all for fun and everyone’s welcome.

Formed the guild, “Heavenly Beings” [ÆGIS], just for the occasion. Guild friendly; you don’t have to represent. If interested reply here and I’ll add you in game.

Thanks!

[tPvP] Ideas for a 5 guardians team

in Guardian

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

Been wanting to do this for a while now. I recommend x/x/6/x/x builds across the board. No more than two traiting for Absolute Resolution (my opinion). And definitely at least one guard running staff/x with Cleric for the might and team support. The rest can go Zerkers with maybe one Carrion for the sustain aoe.
As for range, the best we have are justice intervention and sword. Could have a guard or two designated to take out rangers first.

Roaming build (idea)

in Guardian

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

In my experience, when facing mesmers you’ll either have to burst them down as quickly as you can, or out sustain them. The latter of which the guardian is terrible at. I’d choose might runes myself.

In all it’s a solid build. Good luck!

If this was truly a pvp oriented game...

in PvP

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

If this was truly a pvp oriented game there would be 1v1/2v2/3v3 ranking game modes in place. If this was truly a pvp oriented game there would be a better match up system i.e the role you are; bunker, roamer, sustain, prior to the que. If this was truly a pvp oriented game your Ranking would be based on your kill/deaths, along with time being on the node, taking over nodes, and other points acquired for the win, in addition to the amount of games you’ve won with similar ranked players. If this game was truly pvp oriented there would be a drop system after 5 minutes of being afk, report system, and a disconnection handicap for players continuously losing connection.
If this was a pvp oriented game we would have dueling, factions, guild vs guild and guild rankings.

This truly is not a pvp oriented game. The game’s PvP is a byproduct of a casual beautiful pve world.

Is the guardian now the underdog ?

in Guardian

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

50/50 meaning power or condi i guess? necro run exactly 2 builds in pvp.

Depends on what build you are running and what build they are running. Eg terrormancer is very effective at shutting down med guardian as he has no stability.

completely wrong, medi guard is one of the very very few specs that can beat a terrormancer 1v1

Fear Fear Fear …more fear if your still alive… your dead… yeah great counter. Unless the guy is really bad I don’t see it happening. And yeah I’ve killed a few terrormancers but they were not great players. And if I was running shout build vs them it would be a big stalemate as they have about 40-50k health to burn through.

I run a hybrid build, x/x/6/x/x
I’ve switched from Carrion to Berserker to Knight’s how ever I please with little to no issues. Guardians ARE one of the most balanced class in the game. Maybe not better in terms of one build owning all, like the war or engi, but we definitely have more build diversities.

Be interested in your observations. Was trying out some different gear set ups over the weekend and I really find the damage weak with everything except Beserker. I had some luck with Knights but only vs squishy targets.

try a regular 2 1 6 1 4 medi build and if youre still losing to ANY terror mancers then you suck.

Haha, I run a similar build: 2/0/6/2/4

no.this is why.think about it, most of the other classes can have HYBRID builds which can allow them to fight with damage/cc/ conditions . As for guardians we rely purely on direct damage.if we try to go with hybrid builds,we end up sacrificing so muc

What gets me the most are peels. Darn near every class can peel away immediately like the warrior. Or can kock down a crown like the Engi or mesmer. Yet us spear head guardians can’t keep you where we want you unless we change our entire build to Immobilize/knockdown, which doesn’t work for every build. And at best, that’s only for 1 person.

Most guardians have at least one skill that they can switch out before a match. What we need is a skill that causes Cripple if used in a Light combo field. It wouldn’t break us at all and we don’t have to change our entire build for it

If both classes are of the same skill level it would be very difficult if not impossible to beat an Engi, Ele or Necro. The best you could hope for is to hold out for help.

I don’t entirely agree. I have no issues with Engi and Necros. I’d have to be top notch to face Eles though. In all we can pretty much hold our own vs most classes.

From what i’ve seen the new meta are normally x/x/6/6/x, Staff, supplying might and heals to Ele’s, or >insert sustain dmg here< classes.

Entertaining Guardian....

in Guardian

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

Guards do not and will not have high apm like a thief, ele or ranger. Coming from a pvp roaming’s perspective, half the battle for the Guardian is timing your blocks, blinds, dodge, etc. Medi builds take the most skill over bunk/team support, condition builds, simply because the need to time your skills properly. If you’re glassy, you’re main concentration is not dying in zerg battles and opening for that burst, which can be a small window at times.

-Teleport with Justice Intervention right when your 3 second #5 Focus skill pops. Or save it for blocks?
-Using Smite Condition immediately when you get that first condition. Or use it right away for the heals?
-Having to know the burst of most classes; while most thiefs or mesmers can just stealth. Everything is a little more time sensitive to you.

Condition Idea - making cond build possible

in Guardian

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

I think the most viable form of condi damage builds Guards have right now are hybrid builds which are really fun to play. It still think its a really odd design decision by ANet to give guards access to only 2 conditions – burning and vulnerability.

Hybrid builds for sure. Other than one symbol, our other vulnerability skills are only good for single targets and I feel they’re only useful vs 2k toughness users…

Then we have chill trait condition on hammer crits that no one uses. Blinds, Poison and bleed Sigils, Rune of the Krait elite skill’s limited range can be a hit or miss if you don’t have your justice intervention up.
Not going to say we’re OK, but I will say that we could use that extra “umph” in our condition builds.

-Your meditations recharge 20% faster.
-You are healed when you use a meditation.

How do I carry in solo queue?

in PvP

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

Identify the philosophy of your team-mates and react accordingly based on whatever class you are playing (although if you really want to boost your win rate you’d do your best to counter comp the enemy and bring the class that would most benefit your team).

I think the worst thing you can do is engage in a negative form of communication in any way—especially blaming someone. Not only does it COMPLETELY destroy morale, but it throws everyone off their game and some players are going to be more hellbent on pvp’ing in the chat box than doing basic things to win.

This!

People underestimate the strategy needed in this game. I know for a fact I win 90% of my games because I roam far, win a 1v1 and take their node. Usually keeping it for 2-5 minutes at a time. Between that, knowing when to help mid and retake/roam back to home, grabbing these points and constantly putting pressure adds up!

On Legacy of the foefire, I solo’s the Lord, winning the game by 6 points. One of my partner’s jumped on treb mid game and we came back after being down 150points. Every single action counts, sometimes greatly.

Pvp isnt skillbased.

in PvP

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

I love seeing scrubs justify how ‘good’ they are by saying theyr on the top of the leaderboard but aslong as people play this godawefull meta style. there is literally no skill involved so any ranking is null and void.

I agree in that the ranking system is aweful! You literally have to play a million games to get ranked… and you aren’t facing your ranking opponent like Halo or Starcraft, but a random team. It SHOULD be based on individual ranking instead, due to the fact that this a big meta game. You could be the best Necro as far as ranking is concerned, but you Can’t win the game for your team (unless you’re on Legacy of the Foefire and you down lord by yourself at 350 points…)

That said, the pvp in this game is heavily skilled if you’re a non sustain 10k guard or Thief and you’re constantly needing to communicate to your team… Even then you need to know how to play your build…know when to roam…treb…etc.
I’ve seen the same builds duel and there’s always a better player… I.E skill based.

What is guardian "Supposed" to do

in Guardian

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

If you want to PvP 1 vs 1, then Guardian is a no go. Here are the reasons :
- He cannot run away from fights
- But other professions can run away from him when they are about to die
- Guardian is slow as a turtle
- Even a Necro can survive longer with F1 and pet leeching
- A Warrior can heal as much as a Guardian
- A Warrior is much more mobile
- Warrior feels similar to Guardian except Warriors are better at everything
- A Guardian has lower health than Warrior, this causes Warriors to make less compromises for Berserker builds while a Berserker Guardian will die much faster
- Guardian cooldowns are long, because his utility skills are group based, this is why most of his skills have cooldown bigger than 40 seconds
- Guardian is bad for roaming in WvW

I’m assuming you mean tpvp 1v1 and just roaming in general. Post a 1v1 build of warrior doing 11.4k+ self heals?

Medi or hybrid 1v1 Builds
-War can’t remove 3 condition on self and his whole team.
-Can’t engage and deliver burst damage as fast, other than thief. (Both can tele and attack simultaneously)

Condi build
- (non spirit build) Does 800+ aoe sustain damage in just burns alone.
-(Spirit build) Does 1100 single target sustain damage with just burns and spirit weapons alone.

-Guardians faceroll necros and most thieves 1v1.

“Warrior feels similar to Guardian except Warriors are better at everything”
Hope you’re just talking about 1v1 here…

a very powerful dueling build for guard atm

in Guardian

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

Here’s the issues with this particular Spirit burn build:
1: This build will do OK 1v1 and roaming, but considerably worst in zerg fights. Healing breeze would be fine, if you had at least 500 healing power and can also heal your team up…which you don’t and can’t. Also you’ll be using it more frequently to keep your spirits alive instead of yourself. Your toughness is incredibly low, burning build is sustain damage and you need to stay alive as long as you can to get the most out of your burns. Use Shelter. You won’t get zerged down as fast.
2. Without sword you lose more sustain damage and utilities. #5 on sword scales with condition damage, it gives another 400 damage tick on top of your burns and bleeds. I don’t think 12 stacks of might out-weighs the sustain you get from GS. If you plan on being in zerg fights, there are better burn builds for that.

To Guardians Who Say We're Underpowered...

in Guardian

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

Still funny seeing comments like, “all we have are medi and shout builds” or “We only zerg and point defense”
I know of 3 condi builds, 1 spirit burn build and 2 non spirits burn builds, all of which make great roamers and are down right op against ANY class with a 15k health pool and little to no condi removals, partly because they hope to run with a cleansing guard or mesmer/etc but those cleanse will be in zergs, not far or home.

I will say that there’s a big skill gap in medi builds..I see a lot of bad medi guards on the field. Then there’s that 10k in 5s guard that melts face. (Thief+Medi, best roam/zerg combo, imo)

Fun fact, guard can take out Lord 1v1 style. Gave my team a sweet victory, 505 to 460 a few games ago.

Guardians > Paladins > Knights

I suppose they could be like Thieves and Warriors. What differs from them to a guardian is they offer no team support. Heavy in single target damage, they have zero stealth. Zero symbols, they have huge Cripple and can easily switches targets, Retaliation, can’t stealth but hard to hit.
-Can bunk and self heal (retaliation heals, grand master)
-Can dps/roam
-Terrible aoe (can’t target more than three people) and easily targeted, how ever dodgey kittens.

Ultimately team vs team. (Player ranked by his “points” and averaged by pofession)
If you’re good at your profession in terms of kills, node/capture-the-flag, (duration of node support) you should be rewarded on that profession’s kills, or duration of node support… (heals; combat means being fired upon; healing those who are fired upon; mixture of node duration… etc..)

The Shield and Bow will obviously have more Defensive support. The Sword and Hammer i’m assuming will have more Offensive uses. Tombs will be buffed but not sure by how much, or if it’s more than what Renewed Focus offers… which was Suppose to be the “middle” man of the group anyways..

Necro to guard

I applaud you for stepping out of your realm and trying the Guard. Welcome friend! It’s been a little while since I started the guardian so I’m not sure about the trait lines. If you’re going towards the full Medi build, I’d alternate between Zeal and Valor for starters… that said I’m not very good with PvE builds.
I will say that Spirit weapons work well in pve, they often do the tanking for you. You can speed things up a bit with “Retreat” skill. For weapons definitely GS. You can use Torch with the Sword as well.

Can have middle to be a “capture the flag” type orb, or Chieftains, etc. Small tunnels under map similar to Temple of the Silent Storm.

What do you hope ANet changes on Guardian?

in Guardian

Posted by: Saiyan.1704

Saiyan.1704

I don’t think adding Another leap (hammer and gs, both have it), or a quicker way to leave combat, will make dps guards “more viable”. It just sounds like you want Guardians to play like the Warrior or Thieve.
I have no issues roaming. In fact, I for one often do a better job roaming than a Thieve or necro, who can’t stay on point or cc people off nodes. Wondering if I can go from Point A to Point B fast enouge, hasn’t crossed my mind as an issue.

It would help a lot, why you don’t see any DPS Guardians in top tier teams? It’s not because they can’t burst, but if they need to disengage, either to help or because they are in trouble, they can’t. You either enter and win or you die, and the chances to win outnumbered aren’t very good. It’s not that I want to play like a Warrior or Thief, it’s just what it lacks to be good enough for top tier. Most classes have more than 1 build in top tier, but you don’t see Guardians there beside bunker Guardians, and the play style from the bunker builds we have (2 I think) doesn’t change at all. What changes is just some traits and 1 utility and 1 weapon (focus to shield and 1 shout for 1 concecration)

I gotcha, in that aspect I agree. And what Guan said…If we had a 5-7 sec cripple that would help. But would that make some medi guards op though? Some people beat medi ’ s by the simple fact that they can be kited.

What Are Top tPvP Guards Running These Days?

Most definitely bunkers. Seems like every team I’ve been on ask if I’m a bunker guard. The issue is that there are more bad dps guards out their that can’t fill the roll than there are good. Or they feel a bunk would be more beneficial, but then they wonder why they’re lacking the dps and getting ninja capped. It really all depends on your team and what yalls strengths are.
There are some really good dps guards out there that I wouldn’t count out.

Guards are actually known to be good bunkers/team supporters. You shouldn’t have too much of a problem with conditions if you have skills that remove them, or getting heavily knocked down if you have stability up.

What do you hope ANet changes on Guardian?

I don’t think adding Another leap (hammer and gs, both have it), or a quicker way to leave combat, will make dps guards “more viable”. It just sounds like you want Guardians to play like the Warrior or Thieve.
I have no issues roaming. In fact, I for one often do a better job roaming than a Thieve or necro, who can’t stay on point or cc people off nodes. Wondering if I can go from Point A to Point B fast enouge, hasn’t crossed my mind as an issue.

I see what you mean now. Nice guide too! Big probs. Going to use 0/1/6/6/1 (idk why i didn’t before) but keeping the same traits since i’m using hammer. Still like that extra 4k aoe damage instead of the 6k heals i would otherwise get with mace.
I can’t seem to steer away from the team skill Healing Breeze but I’m using SY/SYG/HoL now too! Thanks for your suggestions.

PvP Bunker Guard Build

its nice you guys are making new bunker guardian builds but until they actually make some changes to the class its obvious that the most efficient builds are just 0 1 6 6 1 or 0 0 2 6 6 with SY/SYG/HtL and shelter. only difference most builds have is what the 2nd sigil besides energy is on the sets.

Can you link on Build Editor for these two?
All SY gives are the removal of all party condi and break stun, which wouldn’t be bad if the CD wasn’t 60 seconds. Not to mention any and all heavy condi DoT would be placed on you. In a zerg that can be a lot of additional damage you’d have to negate, but i’d have to see the rest of your build to see how it’s played.

I’ve made and seen quite a few bunker builds.. but the above post of mine is the only bunk build that’s actually fun for me to play (I can’t stand bunking lol!).
