I'm saving some Diamond toward the Epic Set, can anyone tell me what is the best set for Guardian Fighter for PvE. I don't plan on doing much at all PvP.
On paper it is clearly the Stalwart Bulwark Set. Highest DPS due to it's setbonus, less aggro issues then ever due to that high DPS.
On paper because in some situations you aren't able to keep the setbonus up all the time. For those cases it's the Timeless Hero set. Also, I honestly don't think it will change with the upcoming balance patch but who knowes

Stalwart.
Grand Regent is ok if you're going all tank and don't care if your dps is 1/100th of a rogue. (it can be almost 5/100ths in stalwarts!)
Really glad they are buffing rogues next patch, i mean dungeons is takin forever whenever i take my guardian with 15k power for some reason, best I take more rogues!
Im using stalwart set. I am hearing BiS sets are timeless for pvp and stalwart for pve.
TBH though right now for pve you will see many peeps using the Knights Captain Set for obvious reason.....
Stalwart does seem pretty stout. In long boss fights do you get & keep 5 stacks pretty easily & how high does your power go?
After the patch the Knight Captain's set still seems pretty awesome for your party. Even if the Stalwart stacks all 5 regularly in boss fights I suspect that all the DPS'ers & the Healer in your party getting +60% Power may be superior to your personal Power going way up (not focusing on the defense gains).
