Bump up for surmia

I found having a guardian using scepter and torch is the best for fight against frizz, when I first did the dungeon I used my warrior, when me and my party got to frizz well we got stuck there a while, that is until I changed to my guardian. Stand Your Ground is the most helpful skill for that situation, specially for phase 3 of the battle.

I love using the sword and torch its really fun to play with. I use gs in my main set with sword and torch in my alt set. traits I use is 0/15/30/20/5 and my gear uses a mix of soldiers, knights and berserker soon to drop out some solders for more berserker and see how i do with that. but long as you stick to your play style you should be fine playing with it.

here are few trait builds you can looks at that i’ve seen few people use,

build 1
0/0/30/30/10 – i think this one is for tank/support with AH, its also most common trait build used. traits used are :
Valor – V,VI,XI
Honor – II, VIII, XI
Virtues – II (not sure about this one)

you will gear up for critting, 40% crit chance (minimum) and 60% crit damage, rest you will gear up for power and toughness. runes mostly use are 2 monks, 2 water and 2 earth I think.

build 2
0/0/10/30/30

build 3
0/0/30/10/30

For builds 2 and 3 am not sure what people you usually use for them, as you can probably tell I do not use these builds. I use 0/15/30/20/5 which is a AH build and I have geared up mostly for DPS with bit of toughness and vitality, I mainly use dodges to avoid damage or AH to heal from them to survive.

bigred.7639:

Hey what is the “Soldiers” set called by piece i just don’t know where to get them from. is there a Karma vender?

You can get soldiers armor from dungeons, AC or HOTW, you can also get then from karma vendors in Orr.

To op, I use mix of soldier, knights and berserker on my guardian. This is how i have them at the moment:
Soldiers – helm, chest, legs
Knights – shoulder, gloves, boots
berserker – weapons
trinkets – berserker amulet (acended), everything else soldier with ruby jewels

atm i have 1.9k power, 2.9k armor. 17k hp, 40% crit chance (5% from superior sigil of accuracy) and 75% crit damage. i am gonna soon swap out my soldier trinkets and get full acended. 2 acended soldiers rings. 2 acended berserker earrings, and soldiers backpiece. I will be giving up bit of hp and 1% crit damage in the process but i will increase my power and crit chance. I use AH build 0/15/30/20/5 but with what I have now it works awesome fore me in dungeons and WvW.

I always auto attack them to death with my gs, I never use bursts on them since 90% will get wasted on a clone, so I just try and find the real mesmer and just auto attack. Depending on the situation i might use Leap of Faith as well.

6/10 I would of game you more if you didn’t get the name by fluke =P

I have 3 humans currently
Guardian – Dragon Warrior Kai (main) he represents what I like dragons, fire and a warrior with a lot of courage. He attacks like a dragon with fire and slices like a warrior with a sword.

Warrior – Dragon Empress Sora Her name means sky in japanese, she is the queen of the dragons.

Necromancer – Soul Reaper Rika, she sucks out her enemies souls and uses them as her own life force. (currently leveling her)

(edit: corrected a typo)

Have a look at this i used gw2buildcraft.com since i found it more accurate. I made 2 builds, one is with what you have given in your and link and one i think is bit more optimized with little changes. Also you should know that one weapon set cannot have 2 sigils that are the same, how ever you can have 2 same sigils one on each set.

Your build
http://tinyurl.com/d9ue4eb

Optimized build
http://tinyurl.com/cv27kbc

In your build I think you do not have enough condition removal, you only have 3 when you traited the shouts. With the optimized build I changed Strength in Numbers to Purity, this will give you a passive condition removal ever ten seconds. By changing Shelter to Signet of Resolve you have another passive condition removal every 10 seconds. So now you have 3 on demand condition removal and 2 passive condition removal. but if you still want to use the traits from you original build i would suggest you change one of you shouts to Contemplation of Purity, this skill turns all condition you are suffering from in to boons.

i usually just auto attack the hell out of mesmers in PvP and WvW

I decided to put the gear I am using right now in to that website I linked seems to have every stat correct apart from crit chance, it is off by 4% which is annoying, so now I need to redo my final build and lower my hp probably by 1k to get that 40% or above crit chance before using any buffs and i might have to lower my crit damage as well

i re-named the topic since i am really asking on the gear rather then the traits.

I am acutally already using this trait build and its awesome now all i need to do is choose the gear that will give me good damage while not taking too much defence aways. I usually take all the small hit and dodge all the big bursts. For me since i am using AH i use boons to heal first and then support second, which also mean i can save my burst heal for last or for when i really need it.

well am still not sure yet which one to go for lol

i agree with dye-able weapons it will make each weapons look unique and also match the color scheme we have on our armor making our character even more unique =)

Hey guys i need help choosing what build to use for my guardian (my main). I am gonna use it for PvE, WvW and dungeons. I want something that does good damage (sustain DPS if possible) while not neglecting my defense (toughness and vitality) and support (via shouts). I have linked link 3 builds that i have come up with:

build 1
http://tinyurl.com/bvepqum

build 2
http://tinyurl.com/bqqe7fs

build 3
http://tinyurl.com/c4uetrb

they all use same traits and skill the only difference is the armor and trinkets. alternative weapons i use are sword and torch (berserker) i know everyone hate these weapons but i can actually use them well, and i never had any complaints from any randoms i joined for dungeons. i also sometimes swap out sword for scepter if i need range. i play aggressively and always swapping between my gs and sword/torch to refresh my skills and keep dishing out attacks. i should also mention sword uses superior sigil of accuracy and torch uses superior sigil of intelligence.

let me know what you think of these and give me any suggestions (very hard to convince on the weapons, am a pyromaniac =P)

Obtena.7952:

If you are adamant that you aren’t going to get gear that has condition damage to improve a burning build, then you should at least consider increased burning and condition duration runes to get the most out of effects like Zeal 10 if you want any advantage from burning at all.

Honestly, focusing on burning in any way with the build you presented would weaken it. I wouldn’t advise traiting Zeal 10 at all without Radiance 15 or significant duration increase. The damage increase you would get from that would be very reliant on your situation.

While it is true that you can still take advantage of burning with out increasing condition damage, you would be missing out. As someone already said, getting something worthwhile from burning on Guardian is an all or nothing deal.

its not a condition build, more rather using burn to weaken foes, but i do have few things i wanna try out before going damage which i don’t mind, i am a offensive guardian, i find it much more fun, i do have alts which i will be trying different roles, but for my main i wanna go offensive. can anyone give me a good build with pvt armor for damage

Irena.1062:

That’s why it crashes, plus that site is hard on the eyes. I use This one.

I’ve seen other people being able to post from the website i tried posting from

Ok guys i couldn’t get any sleep, so i decided to use the build calculator. for some stupid reason i can get the link every time i try google chrome crashes. so anyway this is what i came up with

Weapon set 1 (Exotic)
Greatsword – Berserker
(Input Sigil)

Weapon set 2 (Exotic)
Sword – Berserker
Torch – Berserker
(Input Sigil)

Armor (Exotic)
Power, Vitality, Toughness
6 Superior Rune of Divinity

Amulet (Acended)
Berserker/Berserker
(no defensive infusion yet)

Rings (Exotic)
Berserker x2
Beryl Jewel

Accessories (Exotic)
Valkyrie x2
Beryl Jewel

Backpiece (Masterwork)
Berserker
Beryl Jewel
Looking to upgrade this to Acended Soldier/Soldier

Skills
Signet of Resolve, Hold The Line, Save Yourselves, Judge’s Intervention, Renewed Focus

Traits
30 Valor – V Lose a condition ever 10 secs, VI 5% of toughness is given to precision, XI Appkying boons heals you

20 Honor – II Shouts Recharge 20% faster, XI Two handed weapon skills recharge 20% faster

5 Virtues – Applying boon for each virtue activated

For the last 15 points i am debating whether to put 10 Zeal – II increase damage by 10% against burning foes and 5 Radiance, or go 15 Radiance – II Signets recharge 20% faster.

fill in the gaps guys what do you think i should do?

I should add that i use this website to make this build
http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/guardian/

i am trying to do a build with burn but not a condition build, i wanna use burn to weaken foes, but even if burn is removed i still wanna be able to do some good amount of damage, i am a offensive guardian(main) but for other classes i am open to every type of builds

Thanks for you suggestions guys like i said earlier am a sword user, greatsword being the main damage dealer. i tried out a shout build today with full knights didn’t work out for me, so i am gonna go back to the armor i was using for at first which was power, vitality, toughness with 6 divinity runes for amulet, accessories and ring i think am gonna go beserker (not sure what jewels yet), for traits having minimum of 10 in zeal to proc the 10% extra damage against burning foes and 5 in virtues so i can use all my virtues more often, everything else i am open to.

I would still like to keep judge’s intervention, and i do not mind giving up purge of flames, save yourselves seem to be pritty handy. with these in mind do you think you guys can come up with a burning build or a better burning build that i can try out but keeping the same weapons.

PS. this isn’t a condition build, this is to take advantage of burn to weaken enimies defense.

Guys i need help with my build, i wanna create a guardian which has strong defense and strong offence while using fire. i am a sword user that likes using fire so i use sword/torch and greatsword and i always switch between then to refresh my weapon skills and keep on attacking. am more of a ‘in your face’ kind of fighter =P and i like the fact that i can attack multiple targets. I mainly do PvE, dungeons and WvW. I would like to keep my weapons i am using but i am open to all stats, as for the rest i am open to everything i wanna do much damage as possible and use fire attacks, i do not mind giving up bit of defense but would like decent amount of defense since guardian don’t have high mobility.

My build currently:
Weapon set 1 (Exotic)
Sword – Power, Precision, Critical Damage
Torch – Power, Precision, Critical Damage

Weapon set 2 (Exotic)
Greatsword – power, precision, critical damage

Armor (Exotic)

Well guesting seems to be causing problems much as free world transfers did. plus there are lot more people at the dragon fights then there were before.

Has any one been able to fight The Shatterer, Sunless or Claw of jormag recently? None of them are showing up after waiting for 1hr after finishing the pre-quests. Is any one else having the same problem?

This is the second day now and i haven’t seen any info about it so i am starting a post as a bug.

We need to have a jumping puzzle timer for all puzzles, mostly needed in WvWvW that way people know how long they have before the chest is reset.

When ever me and my guildies are doing jumping puzzles we have to guess when we think the chest is reset and most of the time we get it wrong. It will make it so much easier if there was a timer on the hero panel or something.

i support this idea i have red and gold color theme with my armor and i would like to do the same with my sword so it matches my look

Fire Dragon Sword (Sword)
the blade looks like a dragons wing or something that looks more cool.

Effect when drawn: fire around your body which can be toggled on or off when ever you want. but am not sure what the footprint should look like or should it even have one

UPDATE

ok i have a solution that is working for me right now. what i did is forced the game to play in windowed mode, this is how i did it

1. create a shortcut of the guild wars 2 client launcher
2. right click and go to properties
3. where it says target you should see where the original file is located at the end type -windowed it should look like this
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -windowed
4. click apply then ok

that should hopefully let you play without problems. it seems the game has a problem playing in full screen. i hope arenanet sees this and gets it sorted soon

UPDATE

i have tried re-installing the game, it still crashes, i tried to repair the game and it still crashes. and i don’t get any crash report every time it crashes so i have run few tests i hope this helps

i am having trouble starting the game, every time i get to character selection/creation the game will crash and i am unable to select or create a character. i only got my game yesterday and was able to play fine, but today i am getting problems. i don’t think it is my computer since its new, i have only had it for just over a month

computer specs:
cpu: intel core i5 3570k 3.4 Ghz
graphics: intel hd4000 (will be getting hd7850 soon)
ram: corsair vengence 8gb 16000mhz
mobo: asus p8z77-v
psu: corsair tx650m
hdd: seagate barracuda 1TB (will be getting a ssd soon)
os: windows 7 home premium 64bit

the only other game i have played on this computer is vindictus and that runs with out problems.

i am having problems starting the game, i was able to play fine yesterday but today it keeps crashing when i get to character selection, i can’t even select a character or create a new one
