GW2. Best Open World Build. Power Hammer Symbol Core Guardian Open World. Guardian PvE.
Last Update: December 2024
The Power Hammer Symbol Guardian is an Open World build with increased symbol size and damage allowing you to cast many of these symbols which will deal damage, heal, grant boons, and cover a wide radius in battle, allowing you to reliably and simply have an impact on the fight at all times.
The Hammer auto attack creates a symbol on its third attack chain, allowing you to constantly churn out symbols with the quickness from “Feel My Wrath!” While this is high value, it can be low impact compared to other skills. Use the Sword 2 > 3 > Focus 4 > 5 and then Hammer 2 > 4 >2 combo for more burst, then you can auto attack on Hammer when those skills are on cooldown.
Boons are important to survival and dealing damage. Using your Heal Litany of Wrath will convert damage dealt to heal, but also give Resolution (gives critical chance and might) and create a symbol below you so use this after you engage with your Sword 2. Otherwise you can use “Save Yourselves!” off cooldown for more boons and reactively use your F3 and “Advance!” to block incoming attacks. “Stand Your Ground!” can be saved to break stuns.
