The following is a list of the way's I trait and the legacies I deem important when looking for a weapon for Guardians.
For Tanking, (general purpose)
Empathy, Justice, Loyalty, Innocence, Valor
Brave Heart, Quickness, Grim Challenge, Harasser, Shield of Fire, Litany of Challenge, Heat of Battle
Guardian's Threat, Litany Master, To The King
Some substitutions, (not all inclusive, sorry)
Fidelity for Innocence if you are in a Shadow based instance.
Stoic for Heat of Battle if you are in an instance that does a lot of non-physical damage.
Quick of Foot for Heat of Battle if primary interrupt.
For overpower,
Virtues stay the same
Brave Heart, Harasser, Quickness, Hit it Where it Hurts, Raw Power, Parried Blows, Strong Lungs
Guardian's Threat, Hemorrhage, To The King
(Note: Guardian's Threat doesn't help anything here, it's just that nothing else helps either and I don't want to pay the cost to retrait it later.)
Weapons,
For one handed - AE melee targets, Targeted melee skill range, Guardian's Ward duration, and Warrior's Heart duration are pretty necessary.
For two handed you should add minus overpower power cost. (Say that 10 times fast)
Any +parry, evade, block are useful. Bleed damage and Turn the Tables are also useful. Bleed ticks and charge are not. Others are marginally useful.
For belts - Skill Threat up, decreased cry resist, + challenge targets, + Warior's Heart morale are all useful.
Again, increased damage on skills is fairly useful and +parry, evade, and block legacies.
In general:
Stats in order of usefulness are Vitality, Might, Agility, Fate, then Will. Get as much Morale, Avoidance and Mitigation as possible. Increase to Incoming Healing Rating and Defenses are also good.
Get a Wall of the Resolute Guardian.
If I missed anything or you want to disagree with me as usual per the rules of "Allihandra's Tips of the Week" you are obligated to reply and tell me how I was wrong. (If I didn't miss anything you are obligated to tell me I'm awesome)
(just kidding)
