A very high-burst build for power dragonhunter. This build offers extremely high burst damage, great CC, great defensive tools, and decent mobility.  
+
Power dragonhunter offers very high burst damage from melee range in a small AoE, high vulnerability application, and has decent mobility. Although it has low health, it has access to several defensive options and decent sustain. Moreover, it can opt to bring {{Tooltip|Longbow}} if ranged damage is required.
  
 +
<!--An alternative version of this build exists which focuses on {{Tooltip|Radiance}}'s {{Trait|Righteous Instincts}}, {{Trait|Retribution}}, and {{Trait|Radiant Power}} and deals slightly higher damage, but it relies on {{Tooltip|Resolution}} uptime which is hard to maintain when soloing, and requires a unique gear set. For this reason, we instead the {{Tooltip|Virtues}} variant which sacrifices a minor amount of damage for some extra defense and uses the same gear set as power willbender.-->

====General Advice====
+
* Turn off "Melee Attack Assist" in Options. This allows you to use {{Skill|Whirling Wrath}} and {{Skill|Binding Blade}} inside an enemy's hitbox so that all projectiles hit your target.
−
* Note that to play this build optimally you must turn off "Melee Attack Assist" in your Options menu. This is so you can stand inside of boss hitboxes.
+
* Make sure to hit enemies with your symbols to gain stacks of {{Trait|Symbolic Avenger}} and inflict vulnerability from {{Trait|Symbolic Exposure}}.
−
* Your main damage skills are {{Skill|Symbol of Resolution}}, {{Skill|Whirling Wrath}}, {{Skill|Zealot's Defense}}, {{Skill|Ray of Judgment}}, {{Skill|Symbol of Blades}}, {{Skill|Procession of Blades}}, and {{Skill|Dragon's Maw}}. Swap between your weapons using these skills whenever possible, and fill with autoattacks. You should attempt to use {{Skill|Spear of Justice}} and {{Skill|Symbol of Resolution}} right before you use {{Skill|Whirling Wrath}}.  
+
* Maintain uptime on {{Trait|Inspiring Virtue}} with {{Skill|Spear of Justice}}, {{Skill|Wings of Resolve}}, and {{Skill|Shield of Courage}}.
−
** Never interrupt your Greatsword or Sword autoattack chains as all the damage is loaded in the last hit.
+
* Use {{Skill|Procession of Blades}} off cooldown for damage, {{Tooltip|Fury}}, and uptime of {{Relic|Relic of the Dragonhunter}}.
−
* {{Tooltip|Resolution}} is a massive damage boost so you should try to have it up as much as possible. Your main Resolution sources are {{Skill|Symbol of Wrath}}, {{Trait|Healer's Resolution}}, and {{Skill|"Stand Your Ground!"}}. If using the Virtues variant, {{Skill|Spear of Justice}} will provide an enormous boost to your {{Tooltip|Resolution}} uptime as well as significant damage.
+
* Use {{Skill|Sword of Justice}} at the start to apply vulnerability, and then periodically throughout the fight instead of autoattacks.
−
** If using Virtues, {{Skill|Spear of Justice}} resets off every kill thanks to {{Trait|Renewed Justice}}. You should use it whenever possible.
+
* Make sure to use {{Skill|Symbol of Luminance}} first to empower your other spear skills with {{Tooltip|Illuminated}}.
−
** In long fights you should bring {{Skill|Hallowed Ground}} instead of {{Skill|"Stand Your Ground!"}} for increased {{Tooltip|Resolution}} uptime.
+
* Mark the target with {{Skill|Spear of Justice}} before unleashing your combo.
−
* If running Zeal, fight enemies in your symbols to get the damage buff from {{Trait|Symbolic Avenger}}.
+
;Opener
−
* You should wait until {{Trait|Inner Fire}} procs before activating {{Skill|Spear of Justice}}

−
* You have a ton of {{Tooltip|Resolution}} uptime which helps you against conditions.

−
* {{Skill|Shield of Wrath}} is a powerful defensive skill. If you stand on top of an ally while this is active it can block attacks for them as well.

* {{Trait|Indomitable Courage}} turns {{Skill|Shield of Courage}} into a stunbreak.
−
* {{Skill|Spear of Justice}}, {{Skill|Leap of Faith}}, and {{Skill|Symbol of Blades}} blind enemies.

+
* Use {{Skill|Leap of Faith}} and {{Skill|Gleaming Disk}} to {{Tooltip|Blind}} enemies.
−
*{{Skill|Shield of Courage}} is a block that also gives aegis, protection, Resolution, stability, and a stun break.
+
* Review the defensive skill variants above for more defensive options.
−
* You can run {{Skill|Shelter}} for more active defense. You can also run {{Skill|Renewed Focus}} but this comes at the cost of one of your best burst damage skills.
 
−
* Remember to always dodge and sidestep attacks if possible. Don't get hit by anything you can move out of.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
===Sustain===
 
−
* This build doesn't have much sustained healing unless you have {{Rune|Superior Rune of Vampirism}}, so avoiding damage is extremely important in long fights. You can run healing food, such as {{food|Scoop of Mintberry Swirl Ice Cream}} in these situations to relieve some pressure.
 
−
* {{Skill|Wings of Resolve}} is a powerful heal and condition cleanse. You can also use {{Skill|Whirling Wrath}} in the light field from your symbols to cleanse conditions.

−
 
 
−
===Zerging===
 
−
* When zerging, use your {{Skill|Puncture Shot}}, {{Skill|Deflecting Shot}}, and {{Skill|Symbol of Energy}} to tag mobs. Try to make sure your {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Fire}} procs on groups so you get credit for all of them.  
 
−
* Against bosses or static groups of mobs (while the zerg isn't moving much), use your higher-damage weapon set such as Greatsword or Sword/Focus.

Best Dps build for Guardian with alot of traps , Easy build
5 stars
Frostbyte gave this build 5 stars • July 2023
This is an outstanding build: flexible, sustainable and capable of inflicting fearsome damage on one's foes. In my experience, even if you *don't* replace Radiance/Virtues with Honor, you can still hold your own and do some decent damage. This flexibility, coupled with various alternate options in gearing (Berserker's vs. Marauder's/Dragon's and Longbow vs. Sword/Focus) as well as individual traits that can (and should) be swapped depending on context make it a proper "hybrid" build reminiscent of the classic Tank/DPS builds in games like WoW, for instance, and allow for extreme survivability and damage output in almost any situation. My *one* complaint is not with the build itself but rather the fact that certain sections of it have yet to be updated (e.g., the rotation/usage section still sings the praises of Resolution despite it not being used very much since the switch to Honor from Radiance). Thanks to the author. Very solid build that I'd recommend to any Zealous (pardon the pun) Guardian fan.

Tao1013 gave this build 5 stars • March 2022
This DH open world build is a lot of fun to play. It's fast-paced and effective and with weapon variants like longbow available, it's flexible too. With two build options, this set up can be played seat of your pants glass cannon style or with the Honour variant it's a bit more tanky, so you won't get caught out if you run into more trouble than you were expecting. It's my build of choice for exploring and engaging in the new E.O.D. open world content and storyline.
