It’s a common opinion that this GM trait is pretty useless for Guardians, due to our lack of good condition damage options. We can access a lot of Burning application, but we don’t have much to cover it with. For reference, here is the build that I believe is the best shot at getting Kindled Zeal to be useful:

The problem is that I think running a x/30/30/x/x meditation build is just going to better most of the time due to the extra sustain it affords you — the extra damage gained isn’t worth the loss of utility. What do you think should be done with this trait, if anything? IMO, I think that condition Guardian is going to require too significant of a rework of the class in order to be feasible, and maybe we should just go a different direction entirely with the trait. My idea was to change it to be something like: “You deal 5% more damage when under 50% health, and heal yourself for the same amount as the extra damage dealt.” Thoughts?
