Guild Wars 2

Hello,

last few days i tried the guardian, playing him as the node defender in spvp.

i ran the "standart 0/0/30/20/20 traits and my shouts were my utilities to give myself and my allies group buffs.

i had like 13-15k hp (tried different equips) and got destroyed almost everytime. i could tank bad players even if there were 3 BUT one good thief or mesmer just kills me in about 10 seconds (after i used all my cooldowns).

i am rotatin all my shouts, try to keep protection and retaliation perma buffed, but after about 10-15 seconds i am out of cooldowns and i die.

I am new to guardian, is this how its supposed to be? theoretically, i defended the node for about 15 seconds, enough time for an ally to come help me. but i was playing random tourneys so most of the time i lost the node.

Are guardians supposed to live forever against, at least, 1 enemy?

i just want to know if i m doing it wrong or thats just how it is.

thanks for the answer but

i lose 200 condi dmg for 200 power and 20% condi duration when speccing 20/0/30/20/0 instead of 0/0/30/20/20. aint power pretty much useless since almost all my damage comes from bleeds anyway?

how about swaping spider venom for caltrops + devourer poison, to keep them in the field? i tried spider venom a few times but enemies usually pop their condition remover and all the poison is gone, while i am left with the 45 sec cooldown on spider venom.

Hi,

after reaching level 80 and playing some WvWvW and alot of sPvP i feel most comfortable with the p/d build and probably d/d as secondary or maybe shortbow.

so i found my favourite build in sPvP that i want to translate into my “normal” character that i leveled up to 80.

Q: for what kind of set should i actually aim for? i know most of my damage come from bleeds, so condition damage is most important.
What about power or precision? i looked for equipment and wanted to go condition damage/vitality/toughness, but theres no such piece.

i found some with power/vita/cond dmg and some with healing power/toughness/cond dmg.

maybe some condi thiefs can tell me how much impact power has on this build.

i will be doing mostly WvWvW with friends and maybe some dungeons with my guild mates. right now i am playing a d/d berserker thief and am doing fine but i like the p/d playstyle more plus i dont like to die almost instantly because of some random hits.
