Q:

I’m looking at Revenant, Tempest, and Druid with jealousy as they all run healer builds. Meanwhile, the successor to Monk gets… traps…

Does anyone have any possible Guardian builds that could match them as a healer?

Match? No. Guardian can provide heals while providing other things like stability, blocks and reflects. That’s a combo they can’t compete with

Lord Chuck I – Guardian
Chuck The Stampede – Engineer
[Lg] Agatha – Dragonbrand

^This, you’re there to help them mitigate their damage while providing some helpful area denial/cc.

Guardians are more a successor to protection monks(and not healing prayers or DF)…. but no you aren’t going to go anywhere close to matching a druid or even a ventari rev.

You can’t look at it as healing. You need to look at it as support. Support can take the form of damage/CC prevention as well as healing. Guardian tends to be the former, whereas something like a Druid is the latter.

You can heal for a lot as a Guardian, but it would be foolish to only attribute healing as your means of support.

I couldn’t agree more. :p

Guardians can heal quite well with the right build, and all of their healing is at least mid-ranged so it’s actually practical to land healing on your allies. Even with a healing build though, healing guardians still need to rely on more preventative support (such as barriers and the like) to keep their allies alive.
