I plan on trying a healing tanky type character for wvw. Would it be better to invest more into power or condition damage?

Depends on what weapons you take. If you take grenades or bombs then its a good idea to invest into both.

If you’re just relying on flamethrower or elixir gun for tanking then I would recommend you only go for power. The conditions on the elixir gun are a waste because of its terrible damage, and the conditions on the flamethrower are minimal as well, to the point where it scales better with power.

What I run for “Tanking” is grenades, bombs, rabid gear and cleric trinkets. I find that it’s a good combination of vitality, toughness and healing power, while not sacrificing too much dps.
