guardian is more of reactive type of tanky character where we rely on blocks and aegis to survive as opposed to the passive of warriors...
having low HP is not a good thing as long as u dun confuse HP with eHP (effective HP) which guardians have among the highest at the expense of offense...
i can last long in a fight with only 12k hp as i rotate my aegis/ shields while relying on small heal (F2, meditations etc) to keep myself life consistent.

*
So with that said, a PvE burning guardian is still fine right, as in survival.

yes, it is pretty fine...
PvE i run greatsword with mace + shield pretty well up to lvl 46
that's the sole reason of watching the casting animation (and removal of opponent cast bar)...
u are suppose to know stuffs like that unless u are just casually pvping...
*
greatsword, mace+shield, symbols?
I wanted to try sword + torch, greatsword, burning. hmmm.

Try theory-crafting first. http://www.gw2skills.net/editor/en/
Actually my build have only have 3675 damage output with 36% crit. But more concentrating on condition too  sad.gif
Have to make a spreadsheet on all these condition damage and bonuses.

I am sure after couple weeks or a month, some damage focus meta-build will pop out.
*
Much better than mine. I uses gw2build.com dont know how they calculate. what is the hp of your build? Cause mine is only 3k dmg lol. 18 crit, 1223 con dmg.

Use the one I linked, put in acc, runes and all. Also, it's the most updated one around. Mine only 22535 HP lol. Still need to balance out for survivability; or have to rely on teleport skills.
I still prefer support build  sweat.gif (Just me tho)
@vh_20 You need to get NA (North America, US) to be safe.
*
Guardian is better at support i guess. I don't mind going support since i'm going to play with friends only anyway. But if i can support and burn some at the same time, that'd be awesome. Since purging flames can be used offensively and defensively. And when i thought i finished building. Time to build more alternate builds. Haha.

interesting. no one was talking about ranger. look like ranger isnt so strong and attractive.. tongue.gif
*
no one talks about it doesnt mean it's weak though. Just that Pet AI is still a bit bodoh bodoh and long bow ranger is boring. someone here is a high level ranger though. He can give you a very quick run down and you'll be stuck with ranger forever.

QUOTE(M1X @ Aug 5 2012, 07:21 PM)
Was played Charr ranger abck in stress test... So I was a mighty looking Charr, been given a rather small axe... And throw throw the axe around.
And pet die so quick... Imagine that kind of feeling.
*
Yeah same feeling here lol. Then i got a long bow, thinking finally "unlocking" the real ranger. End up having boring animation. Quits. But greatsword ranger is cool.

QUOTE(ShikimoriAki @ Aug 5 2012, 07:38 PM)
lol... I've never heard you guys talking about thieves. Anyone tried thieves during beta?
*
Thief is fun. Managing initiative and stealth and daggers + pistols. I felt imba. But never the sneaky type player so not gonna play.

I was thinking of making double dagger n double pistols thief as my main. Not gonna touch the Cunning traits though, I've prefer speed and damage in every game, and I'm pretty much stuck at that. Stealth is a plus, how long does it actually last?
*
Stealth is actually more technical than you thought. It is sneaky. But if you can GIVE ppl stealth. You're useful in WvW. Try build Dagger + Pistol and Shortbow thief. I love that build just dont like thief. Too mainstream and feel like needed nerf.

It was supposed to be a pun.. Hehe, Oh well, I suck at jokes. Anyway, what do you meant by being more technical? It's more to using it it tactical battles something like that?

Generally in other games, i dont see thief as a team player. rather a solo dps-er. However in gw2 wvw, he is one who's included in strats.

nice start mistabean, i'll ask about my builds as well.
It all came down to this 3 personal builds i would like to choose for my PvE. I have other builds but those are youtube/other successful builds so I wont post. This 3 are entirely from scratch so I need to know your opinion if possible.

PvE Burning Guardian : http://www.gw2build.com/builds/burning-gua...rning-1314.html

PvE Aegis Guardian : http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/?fUAQRAsd7f...5S1liLLLGWsFYKA

PvE Hybrid Guardian : http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/?fUAQNApeRl...PLLGWcsYLwzipAA

HELP!! *hint* evofantasy/pneuma *hint*
My idea of guardian is a lil support a lil damage. something in between. I have a full healer build which i feel it's unstable so i did not share.

how come this game got builds? i tot everyone can learn everything?

You'll still need to stick to one which is reliable right? And you cant learn all traits so there are builds. Just that weapon and utility skills can be changed anytime. But then again, some traits only works for some weapons/utility, thus builds.

My builds are certainly not the best. Since i'm a PvE-er i need to consider other factors and could care less on disabling. So yeah, i'm theory crafting and wanting opinions. Cause I know I'm not as good as some people here who understands the game mechanics much better.

I'm just playing along with mistabean's rate my build. If it's ever wrong to share build i'll delete my post smile.gif

I thought many others will also share, end up only 2 of us. What a disappointment.

The problem here is, not everyone played every class in depth, if you want me to judge anything out of elementalist then there's no way.  tongue.gif
By just looking at the description on the calculator can't really have 100% clear idea how those skills works, until a player have actual experience with them.
So for now, I can just came out with a few theories with those calculathorzzz. Not even sure if it works in actual game later.
But still, since we won't be level80 right off the start (PvE of course), the build we planned will require some times to grow- what is the priority part in the build to maximize character potential?  rclxub.gif

Damge + Crit + Conditional Damage. To focus in all three... will need Jeweler level 200 first. That's going to take some times, and maybe higher level materials...
*
Haha true. Those build calculators are all useful now only if you are a pvp-er. PvE wise, we'll grow as we play more.

QUOTE(gbwedward @ Aug 6 2012, 10:35 AM)
300ms~ is kinda on the border of acceptable d.. and that's coming from a heavily populated server or less populated server?
le sigh, guess i'll wait few days after launch to decide to get it or not since TSB doesn't have the pre-order goodies
*
Have you ever played other US server games. 300 ping in US is not like 300ms in SEA. It's smooth ENOUGH.

GW2 Withdrawal syndrome: you feels like want to cry when you try to describe what is GW2 to your friend that knows nothing about GW2 yet.

hahahahhahahah. I understand that feeling. In the end, show them a vid. CONVINCED.

Seriously GW2 needs a sub forum.

guys I was wondering someone in this thread said that if we don't play in Sea of Sorrow then
we'd miss playing with other malaysian... why is that? is it the server automatically  put us in SOS or something?
during beta test WvW I can hardly enter due to server always full. I hope malaysian will not just stick to one server
that wouldn't be fun
*
it's decided by gw2guru and reddit.com and yes because there is a word SEA in it. reddit asked for a physical server at Oceanic but didnt get any response so we decided on an unofficial server. I for one hope malaysian stick to one server, i mean, why not? Why sticking to one server ISNT fun? I dont get it.

QUOTE(M1X @ Aug 6 2012, 03:34 PM)
Because it got a word "SEA" in it.  whistling.gif
And that's why [Isles of Janthir] is second, we got lots of island mah...

(am I bullshitting myself or this is real?  hmm.gif )

you're not bullshitting. lol

QUOTE(Deimos Tel`Arin @ Aug 6 2012, 03:42 PM)
eh guys what build recommend for guardian to be god like in pve ar?
*
Teleport, burn, sword build. Mobility at its max. Haha. That's just what i think though. Some prefer support.

QUOTE(chaos86 @ Aug 6 2012, 03:46 PM)
I will not roll in SoS as I already have a group of friends to play with. < easier to communicate as all speak malay tongue.gif
Maybe we will meet in WvW against SoS later. It will be bored though if SoS always win by numbers and not by skill.
*
And what makes you think SoS players has no skill and you are more skilled? Lol. Or are you implying Ehmry Bay players will win by skill and not by numbers? Server population eventually evens out. Stop bullshitting just because most of us is in SoS and that SoS COULD have more players from start. Even though a server win by numbers, so what? Darkhaven always wins. Sucks to be you.

Reddit is in Isle of Janthir. Both TEST and Veterans are there. Guru Oceanic backup is also Isle.

In fact most of Reddit not rolling on Darkhaven anymore.

I was saying reddit decided the oceanic servers. not the reddit guild. the reddit Australians. But this is still news to me. reddit moved to isle.

Sea of Sorrows is a very high population server, are we gonna send to overflow server at most of the time? It would really bother me to party with my friends but he is in different server...
*
If you wanna just PvE. Overflow is nothing. I'd rather PvE with friends in Overflow. Let our WvW have more participants. Just invite your friend, and whoever that is NOT at overflow, right click on the friend and join. You'll end up in overflow with him.

is not fun when u cant get in WvW with ur frens coz server is full... also if it's overpopulated  it might be lag or anything... with streamyx and what not?
good thing that gw2 give equal exp and loots no matter who kill mobs so I guess overpopulated in pve map is not an issue
*
Then generally malaysians sticking to one is still good. I dont get what you're trying to say. If you say you're afraid that you and your friends cant play together, then dont stick with SoS like the majority of us. Like some other will be at ehmry bay. I still dont see why Malaysians shouldn't stick at one server lol.

Buying with gold = super duper gold sink = very bad conversion where you pay a lot of gold for little gem.

The rate of exchange is dynamic following the in-game global economy for both gem2gold (sure?) and gold2gem.

But don't expect the in-game economy to settle down on the first few weeks though, it takes time. One thing I don't wish to see is inflation for sure, there was once a great MMORPG with open market system, pretty much killed by inflation problem (as GM refuse to lend their hand in the economy matter), prices went to 1000% (no typo there) the original prices...
*
Hope they dont destroy the economy. Lol.

It is fun to stick in one server but why must it be SoS when u know it's going to be full

*
ah, ok so your question is why SoS. As i mentioned, reddit and gw2 guru wanted it to be unofficial oceanic/sea server. and since we're sea, we simply stick with them. Playing with players in the same time zone (plus minus) are better right? You get to meet others and all SEA and Oceanic guilds gather there.

Dont worry, I'm confused that's why I asked what's the point. But others see that as a "fight" =/

Of course, try come SoS. I have friends that are not in the headstart, so i might change server in the end as well. Or just do guesting. I work and i can only play few hours. So enjoying and playing with friends is more important than anything else for me. So i'm taking this game slow. WvW is not really my goal but hell it's fun so i'm trying to stick to groups. Best if friends are also inside.
