Cleric gear or Knight gear this is the question.

So these are my builds. Support "Healer" Guardian with whom I try to keep my party's health up and provide them with buffs what give them regeneration, stability dmg redu. Or in the other build I run around with the Spirit bow for more aoe healing and Cond removal.

I am fairly new to the Guardian but with my knowledge of past MMO's I figured that If I am giving regeneration and healing around I should stack on Healing Power, but I am unsure should I be more "Stout" and go full Knight for Toughness and power so Maybe I am providing smaller healing and be there and try to take the hits in.

I am rotating my secondary weapons from Mace/Shield to Scepter Focus or Mace/Focus.

Well if your goal is to be a heavy healer go with the cleric. Personally for my Guardian I am saving up the WvW Badges and going to get him the power/toughness/vit exotic armor. Have enough for 2 pieces already (but my guardian is still lvl 18 :LOL: ) A lot depends on how your traits are and what weapons you are using, but you can always switch things up later. It would be best if you try out the armor and build a bit before you decide for sure and get to lvl 80 so you don't waste coin or mats (if you buy or make it yourself) on armor you decide you don't want. In the Mists, sPvP you can try out builds and armor. Combat in sPvP is a bit different then WvW and Dungeons and open world PvE, but it will give you the chance to try out a variety of builds and armors at no cost. So test things out, see what works for you and what doesn't.

I dinged 80 yesterday and I have the green Armorsmith gear and yellow Cleric weapons on her.
I managed to solo Mad King last night with my gear and build, took me a hour because damage ain't the thing with this build.

But I am still doubting, people tell me to get the Ascalonian monk set.
