Thanks for this build. I have used several of your builds for other characters. For my Dragonhunter i was struggling with movement. This build helped a lot.
Medi -Trapper has been my favorite Guardian build since HoT dropped. Its sorely underutilized and great at transitioning from small scale to large scale fights in wvw! Great to see it getting some love!
I'd love to find more guides like this. I like to brew my own versions of most classes, but searching for information on the class can be tricky.. mainly because its so rare you get a "why" on any choice made and alternatives are rarely talked about.
I am definitly the worst gamer ever. I don't understand anything about anything and just do whatever. Been trying to improve but I just don't see it, don't get it so a good player must get so frustrated when matched up with me. Like the other player putting traps and me just not seeing that and missing out on opportunity. I'm playing on pure luck but skills are a better change than luck :). Still I love the game. Love to see this gameplay, too bad I'll never reach it. It does make me feel sad cuz darn ...look at this! Loved this vid and gonna watch more of you.
This looks very good, but I'm having a rough time geting the rotation, trying to make a list so I can learn it, will have to watch and take notes. Thanks for sharing!
Shoot, wait for them to go into your trap, shoot again, and they are dead, haha, i almost never die in PvP when doing this spec, you just stand in the cornor and rain arrows on them, its pretty sick.
At 2:57 and it's a bit more actually. you say to use fireworks runes for speed buff and a good choice if you're playing any other trait/elite trait line other then Dragonhunter. In Dragonhunter first selectable line take the Soaring Devastation over Piercing Light. Soaring Devastation gives 25% boost to movement speed as well and opens up a plethora of options that will greatly benefit you more then whatever you're going to get from Piercing Light. Hope this helps anyone.😉👍
it helps people who never use their f2, but usually when you use your f2 thats the moment you need the speed buff the most and yet you lose it, making that trait a bad choice
Great video! Can I make a suggestion for a new one? And I think a general video explaining some terms would be very helpful even for more experience players. Guild wars does a poor job of tutorials specially for how complicated some things are. I would love to see a video explaining some terms and the relevancy especially in regards to rotation and general gameplay. I was thinking things like: Animations (delays), cancel casting, etc. Plus, things like what disables, interrupts, etc. you’ve got a great educational style that would work well for explaining these topics which are not exactly basics, but kind of intermediate topics (often a missing set). Thanks for all the hard work!
i have a similar build but all the time you are in the edge to died. Just check the the armor and life, my elementalist have more life and armor. I know that this build works but you have to keep moving and evading all the time. I like to keep the life arround 18,000 and the armor 2,500 to dont die easily because if you fail in one move, you are out of energy or you healing skills are cooldown you will die versus dps. Maguma sniapers for example, you have to check them all the time and try to kill them first or the invisible hounds of Maguma. If is a champion or elite sniper, you are dead. So if you play in a group this works well, if you are playing alone and exploring a map, i recommend to use gear with more vitality and toughness or use Honor specialization and Force of Will to increase the vitality.
Love your guides but I have to ask, which class have you found the highest win rate on 1v1 roaming? I know this is highly situational but just want initial thoughts. I struggled with an Ele for years and even with your guides still find some just crush me too easily. Since I saw this I tried and faced an Ele with camp guards on his side, still smoked him while forgetting I had a shield to swap to. Kinda funny and sad.
Hey, is this build still viable? I love this style of gameplay and I wanna try it out. I\m playing with soulbeast now and I love, but I wanna try other bow classes too.
Have these builds changed much since posted? New player to Guild wars and not sure how much things shift around or change over time. Love to be able to just jump in and try all these game modes with a solid build.
So whats a good health number for guardian? I got 12.8k health, on a all beserker armor, and some marauder jewelry. Wondering if I should get trade some dps, for more marauder jewelry.
Dear Vallun, can you please let me know the names of your: chest, shoulders and legging (as in the sctual names). Please can you also let me know the dye colors ? ) Thanks a lot
Its good but you have to do some pretty active defense and evasive maneuvers while playing alone. Or change the build to a bit more survivable.. I still main it and enjoy it tho because traps are fun and burst damage numbers feels good to me. Sometimes I change to firebrand, fb is cool but there is something about it I don't like... I don't know what that is, may be constantly switching tomes and checking page numbers is tiresome.
yes you do usually see full berserker, but if you want to play anything besides that you'll die. Decide whether you want to be more optimal there or more optimal elsewhere, or just replace some of the gear depending on what you do
Hey there! I’m new to GW2 . I’m torn between Ranger and DH. I prefer a longbow class and trying to figure out which might be the edge for pvp and WvW? I have no PvE desire. Between the two are they balanced or does one have an edge over the other?
just one. it is in the description. Edit> go to google and write "guildjen power dragonhunter open world" bc in the description it is saying "valkyrie ring" but on the site it's saying "two marauder rings"
I really wish they made Ranger more like a hunter. The pet feels weak and pointless, the bow skills are boring and everything wants you to play spirit stuff and druid stuff. I just want a good old Bow character like the dragon hunter but with a Beast of a pet that is symbiotic to gameplay.
yes u can get hit damage with long bow skill 2 and 4 hit 10k+ always use f1 on target and use long bow skill 1 to cripple with radiance trait and fury boon to get easy 110% crit change
the way you explain each skill and its usage is amazing.. keep it up :)
Thanks for this build. I have used several of your builds for other characters. For my Dragonhunter i was struggling with movement. This build helped a lot.

What race is displayed in the video?
@@daxfrost5942 Pretty sure this guardian is a Sylvari
Guardian has become my favorite class cause of your firebrand build. I will start unlocking this one next. Thanks for the videos.
Yay, time for my favourite e-spec! Glad Longbow will be there too :D
I'd love to find more guides like this.
I like to brew my own versions of most classes, but searching for information on the class can be tricky.. mainly because its so rare you get a "why" on any choice made and alternatives are rarely talked about.
check the playlist in the description, i have one of these for every class and elite spec
@@Vallun How nice. Yeah, I'll do that. This is at least a good chunk of information for me to work with.
Thanks :3
Awesome!! I loved the PvP bit, that was a good explanation of what is goin' on and your thoughts about it.
Imma give this a try! Unlocking DH as of right now so hopefully this still stands decently in all game modes but for now just PvE is all I’ll be doing

Great guide as usual. Thanks for the hard work
This looks very good, but I'm having a rough time geting the rotation, trying to make a list so I can learn it, will have to watch and take notes. Thanks for sharing!
just remember the 2 skills on both weapons are big nukes, the 4 are symbols , always use the 4 inside the tether and use the 2 whenever

Vallun and the entire sPvP community: "Rune of the trapper should be nerfed" Anet: . . . NAH
I just got my guardian to 80 and was looking at Vallun's Firebrand all game modes build, but this popped up, cant wait!
@@fernandobobis8670 dude.... read
Is this still the best PVE open world build? Hope you can create an updated 2023 Longbow Greatsword Dragonhunter guide if you this is outdated
Very, very helpful combo tutorial with pushes/pulls.
Great video! Can I make a suggestion for a new one?

hey there's a video i have called how to get good, intermediate mechanics. It should clear up a lot of your questions

Great build! The fight against the Mushroom Queen was really impressive.
nice come back on the pvp match

These videos are so well done. I don't even play Guardian!
Loving all these builds
Hey, is this build still viable? I love this style of gameplay and I wanna try it out. I\m playing with soulbeast now and I love, but I wanna try other bow classes too.
LOVE THIS CLASS
Thanks! Great build!

At 13:44 you gain quickness from using Deflecting Shot and I can't figure out how you did it.
Sigil of celerity
Just yesterday i was trying to make a build for this, thank you!
This build can still be used like this after the November 29 update? or will be updated soon.
Could you try to get some benchmarks with this build? Would like to see how far off it is from the 36k DPS standard DH.
The cd of the pull should be the same as the tether... It's frustrating sometimes :(
Wait, that's the same Intro Song from the "The BEST Necromancer Build" Video ☝️☝️☝️
i ran out of good non copyright songs xD
Where would I find a skill rotation for this I know theres skill priority but thats pretty hard to look at
So whats a good health number for guardian? I got 12.8k health, on a all beserker armor, and some marauder jewelry. Wondering if I should get trade some dps, for more marauder jewelry.
Dear Vallun, can you please let me know the names of your: chest, shoulders and legging (as in the sctual names). Please can you also let me know the dye colors ? )
Thanks a lot
darkness and enameled sky dye, elegy chest, refine envoy pauldrons, and mistward leggings
@@Vallun thanks buddy, love yoir videos. You are the person who actually thought GW to me 🤭
I need a build for willbender. It's so much fun
Is anyone else using this build in 2023? I've been using it and so far its been pretty fun. Anyone run benchmarks on it yet?
Its good but you have to do some pretty active defense and evasive maneuvers while playing alone. Or change the build to a bit more survivable..

Hi, what armor skin do you use?
thank you
i dont like ranged combat but its fun to watch this playstyle :)
Hi, did they change the rune of trapper? Is it only 1 second stealth now?
in pvp yes not wvw
@@Vallun thank you. Do we have this rune for pve content?
i love that build
Is it good for Fractals, Raids, Strikes? I usually see full berserker for this content
yes you do usually see full berserker, but if you want to play anything besides that you'll die. Decide whether you want to be more optimal there or more optimal elsewhere, or just replace some of the gear depending on what you do
hey man what race is this?
Nice.
is this build still good in open world and for story content?
Is this still valid? I am just coming back after a few years away and was looking to play DH again.
awesome
Hey there! I’m new to GW2 . I’m torn between Ranger and DH. I prefer a longbow class and trying to figure out which might be the edge for pvp and WvW? I have no PvE desire. Between the two are they balanced or does one have an edge over the other?
both are good but i think dragonhunter is a little better because the most common version of ranger that uses a bow is not the easiest to survive as
SOMEONE HELP ME, WHAT RACE IS THIS?! I want to copy this toon
sylvari
are both rings valkyrie or just 1?
just one. it is in the description.
Edit> go to google and write "guildjen power dragonhunter open world"
bc in the description it is saying "valkyrie ring" but on the site it's saying "two marauder rings"
only one ring is Valkyrie or both?
1
cool
👍 100%
Hey! Thanks for the video. I want to play a bow/GS for PvE. What is the gear that I should be using?
He literally tells you in the video.
I really wish they made Ranger more like a hunter. The pet feels weak and pointless, the bow skills are boring and everything wants you to play spirit stuff and druid stuff. I just want a good old Bow character like the dragon hunter but with a Beast of a pet that is symbiotic to gameplay.
Dh sucks in pve content now:(
