Power toughness condi damage is a no no. Don’t do it.
Knight’s + Berserker’s is the way to go. Be sure to throw in 30 pts in honor so you dont get screwed by burst.

I roll 0 15 30 20 5. Agreed that burst can be trouble, need to have quick reflexes for dodge, virtures, and renewed focus.
I think there is a difference between the game being based on the triad or not, and the flexibility of the guardian…
The game is clearly not triad based, because there is no direct healing class and there is no real tank focus. Instead it’s mostly a balance between how you accomplish dps, defense, and utilities. I don’t think every class needs access to every method. I don’t see Guardian’s getting a legit range only build.
To Rich’s point, the Guardian doesn’t offer much flexibility in how you accomplish DPS… it’s essentially melee only without conditions. Our range weapons excel at utility more than DPS. So, the Guardian is mostly about adjusting weapon sets, traits, and runes to come up with different builds of melee DPS and Utilities.
I’ve played Right-Handed Strength builds focusing on sword/focus and Meditations, and I feel like that is a significantly different play style than my AH/Shout build. Some folks are into AH, consecrations, and battle presence and boons, not sure it plays much differently than normal AH… maybe just a twist on it.
For a another unique playstyle, we could probably use a legit melee DPS build based on the Power and Radiance lines and that is a hybrid condition/power and take advantage of conditions and symbols. Some of the traits exist now, it just isn’t as efficient as our other builds. In my opinion, symbols could travel with the Guardian as we move… like Strength in Numbers from Valor. Maybe Symbol of Wrath applies Retal to us and pulses Vulnerability or Burning to them (in order to be less impacted by condition removal). Then use your +5% dmg to enemies with conditions applied or +10% crit chance to enemies affected by a symbol, etc.
Yeah, I agree – If ignoring Beserker, I’d probably run full Knight or a Valkyrie/Knight blend before straight Soldiers.
If you’re goal is boon uptime for you team, you’re going to want to find a decent amount of precision to maximize empowering might… essentially wanting it to pop close after cooldown. Anyone know what the sweet spot for crit chance is?
Zaxxo,
I also read that healing power did not scale well for Guardian skills. So, I don’t know if that is worthwhile for you or not.
To Deathspike’s point – some items offer better ratio for stat trade off per percent of Crit Damage. Go to wiki.guildwars2.com, search for Item nomenclature, and scroll down to “Comparison of numeric vs. percentage attributes”.
Rings, Amulet, Gloves, Boots, and Shoulders are more favorable for Crit Damage.
So, one option to consider, and the one I am moving in for an AH build, is Beserker on those items and then Knights elsewhere else. Use Beserker Orbs on Trinkets.
Personally, I also went with Beserker Chestpiece and Weapons. And Toughness/Power/Crit Dmg Ascended Amulet. I decided to move from a Valkyrie set to this direction because I didn’t feel vitality was worthwhile. I am probably now more reliant on condition removal traits/skills, but seemed reasonable a swap for me.
I agree Swiftpaw…
I use Scepter and Torch with Hammer. I’ll caveat, I haven’t tested this rotation vs straight hammer dps, so I am not sure if I am gaining or losing much dps. I also don’t stack condition damage, doesn’t seem worth it. Instead Beserker + Knights.
Start with: Smite, Zealot’s Flame, Cleansing Flame, Smite
Swap to Hammer: Mighty Blow if a Field is up, otherwise auto attack chain and Mighty Blow for retal. If I don’t need protection from the chain, once swap is available use Mighty Blow and swap back.
Back to the loop: Smite, Cleansing Flame, Zealots Flame, Smite and swap back to Hammer.
Scepter auto attack should be filler only. Unless range is required to sit back and throw orbs seems like pure laziness – it sure isn’t very fun!
I run a mix of Beserker’s and Knight’s and can tank fine for dungeons. It depends on how comfortable you are with dodge rolls and tracking your health while you fight.
I recommend having at least some Knight’s if your using on crit traits like Empowering Might, which plays very well with Altruistic Healing.

1 – Garrett Ward – as a low level thief
2 – medium level thief w/ wife’s guardian
3 – My defensive armor
4 – My offensive armor set w/ wife’s ranger
Hey Thunder,
What armor set is your defensive armor?
I should preface that overall, I love the Guardian profession more than any other profession I’ve played. They have tons of survivability built in, and I love using Greatsword for some DPS (with Sword/Torch as backup burning fun).
But my one complaint? Movement.
I use Retreat a bit, and then the Staff-3 power for some extra swiftness when just doing exploration stuff, but there’s nothing permanent. All the other classes have either a passive signet or a trait that grants movement speed buffs except for Guardians – although not all these traits are permanent (Mesmers, for example, only get the buff when their Illusions are out).
For a melee class, it’s been tough sometimes. I’m only level 37 now, I should note, but when I last ran the Ascalon Catactombs story dungeon, there is that boss that is on a small platform in the center with another platform circling around (and a small plank of wood connecting the two). Due to being melee and having slow movement speed, by the time I got to the boss he had teleported away, and then by the time I got to his new destination he teleported away again.
Does anyone else run into this frustration, or have any suggestions?
[I should note that I also play a Norn Guardian, and while I understand that Norns aren’t actually slower than other races, their large size does make them feel slower.]
Hey Silent Spy,
With 10 Pts into Honor, you can take Superior Aria for shout recharge. Between Retreat, Save Yourself, and Staff you should have permanent swiftness. Classes with passive run speed are moving at +20% usually, swiftness is +33%.
First, use staff rune to get 8 second swiftness, then use both shouts at once to stack duration. Once your swiftness runs out, repeat staff followed by shouts.
It’s important to note that staff swiftness will not stack on top of an existing swiftness boon, but you can stack other sources of swiftness on top of the staff.
Guardian is actually a great class for zone explore… you can easily kill large numbers of mobs of your level or make easy work out of a Veteran. Aegis often eats any cripple that a mob would open with if you want to just run by, and you can use Judge’s to port around the zone a little faster if you like.
Best of luck!
