This was a few months back with the traits patch.

At the time i stated that with the overall damage increase and the average TTK times being split seconds, the Meta pendulum would swing all the way in the other direction and become a Bunkers meta, thus changing fights from a sprint race into a marathon.
Lo an Behold the bunker meta is here.

What do we need to fix it?. We need bruisers not just less sustainability, we need builds that have a shot at beating both bunkers and glass cannons and them selves can be beaten by both.

Stated this before, hope they are paying more attention now.

That means put all bunkers on the lvl of the guardian bunker build, they would QQ alot.

The flaw is that is very easy to make damage, reason some classes go bunker specs and still do alot of output damage while gains alot of surviability, they dont sacrifice much compared with potato(bunker) guardians.
The bunkering is being forced, because w/o dps classes with bunkers specs those matches would be everyone barelly instagibbing each other with a well succeeded key spam by just one class.

On gw1 players needed to know when and who to spike, players needed more knowledge and team tactic to win a match much more than gw2, wich is a veary friendly pvp game because " bad balance"(exist for some logical reason) and makes every one kill easilly the target by picking certain build.

No it does not, it means reintroducing bruisers. You make builds that can take a considerable amount of punishment and dish out burst of damage enough to bring tanks down but cant sustain that lvl of damage. Much like shout hammer and GS was previous to the patch.

And to have more bruiser classes what is needed?

First we dont need bruiser “classes” we need bruisers builds.
Second, what stated above, builds that do enough damage in burst (reasonable bursts not 999 skills chained together like clockwork) to bring tanks down with out being able to sustain that burst and tough enough so that they have a reasonable shot against both tanks and glass but again not able to sustain such healing so that tanks and glass have a reasonable shot against them as well. Tanks needs to still hard counter Glass. Bruisers need to be able to take on each other(not in a split second like glass on glass). Tanks need to not be able to kill each other be it because lack of damage or out sustaining the damage they do. Glass and Support need to pretty decidedly tip the scales on fights tither through raw damage or support.

What we have now. No bruisers. Tanks Hard Counter Glass.

This is more complex than just “nerf tank sustain”.
