Thank you so much for making this. I wanted to get out of same old rut of FB or DH. Wanted to find way use the new Elite. So this will be fun to fiddle and learn. Got some crafting to get some parts but overall it gives something to change up my old dusty crusty guard.

new to the game really enjoy this video, might run this once i get maxed out. got any beginner guides for guardians?
The build is great, had good fun on it. There's also a low-intensity version with a bit more range and other utility called Dragonhunter :) As for stuff I'd like to see next, how about Hammer Spellbreaker? It's fairly strong now, good damage and very tanky, however I struggle a bit with it, especially with adjusting the rotation to encounters and, say, deciding on Full counter procs. Power Virtuoso is an option too!

This is actually great, I recently started playing and was looking for nice dps class. The fact that you explain wahats going on on your rotation on a real fight is really great, Hopefully I end up playing willbender because at the moment im debating it, I only get like 11k hp (without food/utility) so idk if a noob like me can survive on a though fight like t4s fractals or raids.

Thank you for the video. Question....would celestial gear be fine for this build in open world? I ask because, if I made a new guardian to play this, I want to just use a bump to 80 kit. I tried leveling a Guardian before and I just couldn't do it due to boredome. Level bumps give free celestial gear, so....do you think it would work?

@@Vallun So I made it through the video, it sounds like you have a real prejudice against dps meters and you arenet thinking objectively, as I said previously because of some cons to dps meters you suggest removing the thing completely however if you are looking to improve your dps then dps meters provide you with the only real metrics to do that. within an MMO whenever you do group content there is an expectation that you perform to the best of your abilities. Gw2 probably has the largest disparity of dps between good and bad players out of any mmo, and educating people on just how large that gap is can only be done with dps meters. I'm completely with you on the "speedrun" build issues as lots of people use snowcrows and their builds are specifically benchmarks while mostly good there are often cases that they arent the best choices for encounters or significantly raise the difficulty of a class for a few 100 dps. good example being condi DD with doom sigil, take a burst instead and never swap weapon. worse dps but much more relaxing. your argument though that dps meters leads to people ignoring mechanics is rather loose, I'd argue in my own experience that people who dont do mechanics are usually the least confident players and yes you have greeders but they are shadowed by either lazy or inexperienced players not doing mechanics. In conclusion though, if you are brought into a group to do dps, and your dps is not on average/above average, you are not performing your role. your role is DPS, you can argue all day that dps doesnt matter etc and you dont need optimal dps but thats up to the commander.
@Vallun

@@aidanfenton4377 a dps meter doesnt improve your damage, it tells you an arbitrary number in relation to others with no context to what roles or mechanics they are performing. What is "not enough damage"? It's when you fail to enrage timer or phases do not progress before they become overwhelming. MOST people will improve by focusing on surviving and sticking to mechanics, so long as they use a good build and loosely understand it. For those who already have that covered (which is a small minority of players) they should use a dps meter. Therefore most people should uninstall the dps meter
