This video shows off all of the weapons the Guardian can use and looks at all of the individual weapon skills. It also has a look at all of the healing, utility & elite skills the Guardian has at it's disposal. It then goes on to look at the core specializations the Guardian has and what each individual trait does for your character. The video finishes with a short combat demonstration with a basic Guardian build so you can see what it looks like when it all comes together.

    For the greatsword skill 5 a lot of the time you don't want to press it again to pull them in unless you absolutely need to. It ends the damage tick on them and that skill does quite a bit of damage over 10 seconds if you just leave it.

    • @daisybunni

      for pvp it is worth pulling fast because the damage can't crit and the pull is more valluable to make the enemy in place for an extra proc of a symbol

    For the Greatsword 2 it's better if do it "inside" the enemy, so the projectile and "swing" will both hit for max damage.

  • @porcu12345
    @porcu12345 2 роки тому +5

    Sorry if this was answered during the video, but are the elite specialisations necessary for top performance? I really don't like how they change the playstyle of the class away from the paladin style. I don't want to lay traps and use a bow for instance, that sounds more like a Ranger to me.

    • @HeroicFlamingo
      @HeroicFlamingo  2 роки тому +2

      Elite specializations aren't required but you will struggle to find a meta build these days that utilizes a base class so I guess it depends on what level you wish to play at ☺️ I would say that just because you choose an elite spec, doesn't mean you have to utilize the unique weapon or new utility skills. For example, you can play a Dragonhunter quite similar to base Guardian and there is definitely no need to use a bow or traps if you don't want to 😃

    So great video and being a new player and all I take it that this class is very self sufficient soloing as much content as you want barring fractals and raids then? I mostly solo is why I ask or is their better options? I am playing a mesmer atm which is fun level 12 but not sure it was the best first pick lol.

    • @HeroicFlamingo
      @HeroicFlamingo  3 роки тому +1

      Guardian is great for a solo player! Either that or Necro would be my first choice for playing solo 😃 Mesmer is a really awesome class but will take a bit longer to get used to! Stick with it if you're enjoying it though ☺️
