Any builds like this viable anymore?
The build is completely non-existant, because there are no Tome skills anymore.
Aside from being grossly out-dated, the general support symbols build is intended to work on Stationary targets. For WvW, this is problematic, since roaming favors mobility, and zerg hammers are used more for utility then defense/offense. Healing power on a Guardian has perhaps some of the worst coefficients on the skills that would benefit from it the most. Its also giving up valuable DPS, which you’re going to lack without the flat multipliers from Zeal or DH ( guard base line damage is on the low side).
More importantly, DH turns your Virtues into very powerful utility skills. Core Guards almost never touch their Virtues due lack luster effects, but Dragon Hunters use them constantly. Pull on F1, Mobility+Cleanse+Heal (and Immob if traited) on F2, and Projectile Barrier on F3 (which can cover stomps, or act as a secondary condi clear if paired with Fortitude). These 3 abilities alone is every reason to run DH in PvP and WvW.
ionix.9054, guardian is all about damage, support from guardian comes from Domes and aegis.
Healing power guardian was never a thing(unless u want to be easillyu beated and be carried by your group).
Nowadays u cant play guardian if is not a medi trapper or burn guard defeating bad players.
1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.
