Salek.1056 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Core burn guard or burn dh. But I just stopped playing guardian in PvP. I Can do much more on other classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollbirtan.2915 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Guardian is F tier now..., Glass cannon burn guard or dh works somewhat unless the enemy sneezes your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arklite.4013 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I've actually been doing pretty well with the typical GS/Sw+F radiance core guard. It probably isn't very good against competent players but down here in gold 2 you can just pop everything and delete somebody in your opener, better with stealth from a teammate.

Carnifex.3275 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Still using the same condi FB (just with carrion) or full healer. But if u go healer replace Writ with Force of will. And take Invigorated Bulwark. Can even take Mace instead of Sword if u like it. Been doin pretty well with either of em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exile.8160 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Looks like cmc hates guards.. because in plat atleast if you run guard you are playing at a disadvantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buran.3796 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Playing currently both (burn) condi FB and DH. The FB has more utility/support and cc but way less damage, so results are mixed in public games. The DH is a beast, oftenly dealing from 400k to 900k damage while tanking enemy necros at control points. But I can only speak about gold tiers...

Dominus.4153 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I've been playing a higher DPS variant of the core radiant GS build. It's fun, but as others have noted probably not as effective as other classes at the moment.http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PWwAEt3lVwoYfMQ2IOyL/HVA-zZIPkMVBlKB6VI44BSome notes:The zeal trait line really helps you pump out more damage compared to virtues. Wrathful spirit (retaliation when you lose aegis), increase symbol damage, Zealous blade (greatsword cooldown reduction and bonus power), and symbolic avenger all synergize perfectly with this build. These traits, along with signet of judgment, more than make up for loss of retaliation on virtues.Using signet of judgment in place of smite is actually quite versatile. It gives you on demand retaliation if you are initiating with a burst (the burst combo is focus 5 > switch weapons, wait a few seconds > greatsword 2 + judge's intervention + signet of judgment + virtue of justice 1). Alternatively, if you are on defense, it gives you a bit more effective HP with its passive to help keep alive. With contemplation of purity and judge's intervention, this gives you three stun-breaks. Additionally, you can still clear conditions reasonably well with smite on heal, virtue 2, contemplation of purity, renewed focus, and condition loss on weapon-swap sigil.Great retaliation up-time with signet of judgment, wrathful spirit, healer's retribution, light aura from virtue 1, greatsword symbol 4, and greatsword leap 3 out of any light symbol.Using a scepter rather than a sword is a personal preference. With such low HP, I find it useful for kiting or damaging from off-point when you are low HP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwaihir.1745 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Its quite obvious which class CMC likes, and for those keeping score it isn't the guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiyan.1704 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Speaking strictly Solo Queue Ranked.. I'm currently Plat top 50, but to be fair Guardian in solo is really a low Tier1 Plat kind of class at the moment. Right now Trap Burn DH feels a lot stronger than any Core build. A lot of it has to do with DH ability to remove itself from combat with Wings F2 and Trap's stealth. The same goes for Trap DH power variants. I use burn because I never liked Power DH... like, at all lol. That and burn burst builds have the potential to carry soloQ a lot easier than Power builds.The build I currently use: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PWABs2x7lNwaYOsO2IeMXbtMA-zZx8MSQFkpUQhDAYou really need to be at the right place and at the right time with this build because it doesn't have a whole lot of stability or stunbreakers... so if you know a burst is coming, trap and fly away like a bird with F2. Renewed Focus is a must... I don't like the randomness of Dragon's Maw and renewing Virtues is a big woop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
