I know the feeling ... been dusting off my account and trying to start the first expansion content with my old level 80 guardian, but for some reason I can't seem tu survive most things especially the AoE stuff. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but pretty sure it's been so long ago that I completely forgot which skills to use in what situation. Really wondering if I should delete one of my alt characters and start a Guardian from Scratch.

So ... Years back I've played my Guardian to level 80 and had a few alts too. Took a few breaks / came back every once in a while. But every time I take a break I have a hard time trying to figure out how to play my class again (hence the alts). But now I'm back ... as a Guardian. I was wondering what would be a good PvE based spec for a mostly solo kind of player (though I hope to meet up with some old friends an play together with them). I thought I had a pretty OK build / gear, but I've now started to get into the Heart of Thorns content and out there I'm getting my butt kicked. Of course that's probably because I don't know my skills anymore, but also the AoE thingies kill me in no time. So I was wondering if I should respec my guardian and how. I'd like to go throught the Expansion contnet and try to finish the last 2% of the Map Completion thingie. So any help on PvE builds for a guardian would be welcome.
