Guild Wars 2

I have played guardian for all my time and healing power has always been a problem I have been struggling with. Right now if I wield my staff, I have 480 healing power but none of that comes from my other gear. If I want to become a bit more supportive in WvW for instance, should I get more?
Also I seem to be kinda stuck with 0,0,30,30,10 build. Is it worth it to go further in the virtues? The boon duration affects party members as well right?

Depends on what you mean by support. If you mainly support via Aegis and protection, you don’t need healing power. Boon duration will help, and it does effect boons you give others as well. If you want to heal and regen, 480 is definitely too low. You need at least 1000.

I guess so and how about superiour rune of the dolyak? Does it scale with healing power and does it stack with our own health regen?

Does not scale with healing power, does stack with other sources of regen. Ticks are miniscule, 50/sec?

Since the skill coefficients for healing power on guardians are generally quite low (except the dodge roll heal, yea…), you’d probably do the most for your team if you specced some good support shouts and full boon duration.

I highly recommend you try something like 0/20/0/30/20 or 0/0/20/30/30 or 0/0/10/30/30 with staff + hammer or shield/mace for extra support, try dwayna or altruism runes theyre not too expensive, get your healing up to 1200-1400, spec for battle stance and improved virtue of resolve and get your teammates to stay with you..

One of the tricks is get your precision high and keep proccing vigor and use +endurance food and master maintenance oil, dodge on teammates alot, heal with staff alot, do decent damage(1400 healing does not gimp your dps stats completely, get a healing stacking sigil)

Been having alot of fun and success with this for awhile and now will have more with the improvements to staff, thats my advice in a nutshell, i’m working on a viideo with these builds right now, here’s one with 1100 healing I uploaded a couple weeks ago as I was really starting to get into healing guardian again, i’ve improved at it alot and now go for 1300+ healing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JDySjnJpAM

I play full support. See the bit.ly link in my signature next to my Guardian and you can see my setup which is my PvE build. The only difference for WvW is I go 0/0/30/30/10.
