Guild Wars 2

I was trying to think of something to help the concept of a guardian, especially one based around conditions, that didn’t rely so heavily on the Valor tree or a Greatsword to stay alive. Honestly this is in no small part because I love using the hammer and hate feeling so shoehorned into that particular tree for all my healing, especially when I’d prefer to cap out my Virtue and Radiance trees and maybe have a few points left over to throw elsewhere.

Now I figure Burning changes are eventually coming, maybe they’ll impact this to make it op, I don’t know, but I was thinking that putting a Grandmaster skill in Radiance (or somewhere else other than Valor really. Anywhere else) that’s something to the effect of “Heal yourself for whenever you burn an enemy”. I originally considered “Gain Regeneration while you are burning an opponent” but I’m pretty sure that’d error on the side of wildly OP.

While I admit my motivations trend toward the selfish there, I don’t think the idea is insane, does anyone concur? Would this give something to the Guardian to help support the concept of the Fanatical witch hunter burning the wretched and such?

Balance wise I’d guess the skill would heal more than the Greatsword’s “on every hit heal” and less than the healing you get from meditation skills. I’m guessing something around altruistic healing but on burn might make sense.
