For Guardians?

[Icemanfrost.5428]

I'm trying to find the guardian page and unable to do so. Do you use Axe and Torch or dagger and what are the stats?

The guardian page is under the professions category.

Guardians can use torch all the time, axe only with the elite specialization firebrand, and dagger not at all.

 

Stats depend mostly on which elite specialization and game mode you run in. In PvE, Core guardian and Dragonhunter youll find yourself in Berserker or maybe Marauder gear if you need the extra bit of hp. With firebrand you'll most likely be directed to using Viper gear. WvW builds will go tankier though.

You must be talking about metabattle.com --> https://metabattle.com/wiki/Guardian

A lot of players on here will direct you to metabattle or possibly snowcrows for builds depending on which game mode you prefer.> @"Icemanfrost.5428" said:

A lot of players on here will direct you to metabattle or possibly snowcrows for builds depending on which game mode you prefer. For PvE youll likely run the same 2 trait lines, whatever your elite spec is and virtues with the third being the one you would get the most use out of. Zeal for greatsword if running a power build, Radiance if a condition build or using primarily 1 handed weapons. While knowing what the meta is , is useful, you should build what works for your playstyle while finding some synergy within the traits.

Thank you :)

What weapon do you want to use? I find that that is usually the lynchpin of how I make my builds. When I decide what weapon I want to focus on, the offhand/secondary weapon, traits, stats, utilities, food and outfit/armor skin follow.

To add to the meta discussion- Meta battle makes for a good template to start with, but you'll find you'll have to tailor skills to specific tasks. The more utility oriented a build is, the more likely you'll have to change things around.
