  1. Hi, I gave another try to the wooden potato's build, with some adjustments. I think I'm starting to getting a grip on it. I guess that I had to learn to not push all the buttons at once to make it work ^^ Thanks for all your replies and advice, it helped me to getting better at this game (still a casual, but a casual who can play end game without being killed be any trash who cross his path) :-)
  2. Hi, WoodenPotatoes has released a series of builds for PvE/story mode.If you don't mind to change your elite spec and weapons, it could make your life easier in story mode :-) He made a video for gear advice and another one per class : Gear video : ]Thief build video : ]As far as I can tell these builds are nice, he explains how the build is supposed to work and some variations you can make depending on your preferences. These video contain a lot of info but you should watch the Gear and Thief video entirely at least once to have a good idea of the build' synergies. Then feel free to rewatch the part about traits, it usually makes sense the first time listen it then you realize later that you forgot/missed half the things he said ^^' If you choose to give it a try, remember that a new build require some time and practice to be played properly :-) I hope this helps
  3. @HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Thanks :-) @Ashantara.8731 I'll keep that in mind and will switch to FB or DH as soon as I feel comfortable enough with my boons management (or to the next elite if the next extension is released before I managed to learn this class ^^') @wolfyrik.2017 Thanks for the advice :-)It's the build I had when I opened this thread, it's a nice build, I like the overall feeling except for the sustain, it feels to me that mistakes are not so easily forbidden. I'm curious about how you manage your sustain.When I was using this build, I always had the feeling to not being able to heal myself properly. When there was multiple tanky mob that I couldn't kill quickly (hence no f1 reload) I could only see my life slowly be drained as I was using all my blocks/blind/heal skills and finally die with all my skills on CD. Any advice ?
  4. Well, still dying a lot... :-( I'll give a try to the "CORE GUARDIAN - Meditation & Shout" build"@"HnRkLnXqZ.1870" Does "Empowering Might" work on me or is it just for allies ?
  5. I've tried to make a build on my own, based on the things I learned in this thread and the builds I tried before.Since I struggle with the FB tomes (really too slow to draw), I've made a core guardian build. Here it is : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PWxAEl3lVwQYeMMGJOyL/pUA-zRJUiR933hQJ6rPlQsyAFPA-e I could beat the "Night of Fires" story with it, however I think it can be improved event in the limits of my current skill. I tried to mimic some of the minions master survivability traits with the sigils.With Firework runes and marauder set I reach 99% crit chance with fury and retal, thus I tried to have them most of the time, which is not easy ^^'I've my doubt about mace, maybe I'll try the sword for extra mobility and fury, though mace 3 saved my ass a couple of time during the story and still give me fury and retal, so... I also have doubts about the sigils, maybe I'll try bloodlust + perception (to compensate the lack of fury) Please give me your opinion about it and your suggestions :-)
  6. @TamX.1870 Thank you for your insight, it makes sense to me :-) I'll looking at small scale PvP builds in order to improve my knowledge of guardian defensive traits @Ashantara.8731 I think your underestimate my noob power :pIndeed, I do consider difficult to use the right skill at the right time since I'm having a hard time figuring out what's going on when the fight gets messy, with too much aoe or mobs, or simply when I try soloing a champion in Queensdale and find myself unable to drain it's defiance bar despite all my cc skills and end up being X-shot (where X is my number of blocking skills +1 T_T) @"Cyninja.2954" Thank you for your build. Quick questions : 1) How do I cleanse condi ? Torch 5 does not work on me. 2) Is food mandatory to have good sustain ? I'm currently trying it and I did not engage a hard fight yet, I'm still getting my fingers used to the skills :p My multiple test taught me at least some things about my elite spe preferences: I like neither DH virtues nor DH longbow, traps are nice but that's it. I like the "burn the area" feeling of the FB as well as the axe and mantras, tomes are nice but quite difficult to use (relatively slow to open making them difficult to use in emergency cases)Core guardian is nice, I do prefere FB but it's still niceConcerning my play style, I have no problem with low damage as long as I can win the fight without to much difficulty thanks to my tankiness. Actually I prefer this feeling over the glass canon one. In my mind a guardian is something of a paladin. Some sort of rock, that shines with divine magic and bash your evil face with his holy weapon to purify your filthy soul with fire, that's the feeling I would like to have. However the feeling that I have instead is that it's not the way anet intended this class ^^' Edit: I currently facing a fight that I struggle to win properly.In the story "Night of Fires" when I have to infiltratre the camp, I can't figure how to fight these mobs. I'm constantly pulled by some of them, my life is drained by the mobs with guns, even when I try to use a GS and using GS5 to group them, they flee immedialtly after I pulled them. By the time I managed to reach one, the others downed me... It's really discouraging :-(
  7. @HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Thank you for your amazing post :-) This is really interesting, do you have any guide to learn to play the way you describe it in your post ?
  8. TL;DR there is no "faceroll" build for guardian, I have to learn how to play it properly in order to enjoy it :-( I guess I'll use your valuable advice to make my own build (with black jack and hookers) based on the builds I found on the internet. On the bright side, I already have a full marauder armor and weapon set, no need to farm it :-) Thank you for your time and advice :-)
  9. @Irensaga.6935 For example, I died multiple times when I had to @Ashantara.8731 The thing I don't understand is that guradian is supposed to be " the easiest profession for super high damage and survivability", however I never struggled this much with my Reaper, it was really easy to play. I know I don't play very well that's why I was looking for a guardian build as easy to play as the "minion master". In the meantime I'll look again at the build you recommend :-)
  10. Hello everyone, I'm looking for an easy to play build for my guardian. Allow me to explain. A lot of people seems to say that PVE is easy in this game and, when I was playing a reaper with a lot of pets, I used to agree with them. I could pretty easily face roll through the entire story, enjoying the narrative. However, now that I'm playing a guardian, life is not so easy anymore, I have the feeling to have much less sustain than my reaper. I've tried the 3 solo build from metabattle (I've unlocked the 2 elite specs), I'v tried some builds from youtube (including the one from WoodenPotatoes) and I still have the feeling to die a lot more than my reaper. I'v the impression that all these builds are made for people who actually know how to play this class very well and who are pretty skilled. Me, on the other hand, I'm not a really skilled player, I do step out of the red areas when I see them and I try to block some attacks when my CDs allow me to do so, but I miss a lot of active defenses. Hence, could someone give me a build for a gardian (FB, core or DH) whith a good sustain in order to play solo the pve content ? Bonus question : From my reading on this forum, my understanding is that anet did some big nerf on the guardian on march, do this nerf make last year builds obsolete ? Thank you for reading and hope to read some advice :-)
