Nothing wrong with Guardian there, something definately wrong with the people you’re teaming with though

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
If its not you, its somewhere else, but it still affects you.

Learn my name, or do not. The world will know it soon enough.
Yeah, a good team will really make everyone shine, whereas a dysfunctional team will make you think the Guardian blows. Went through with mainly melee and one ele in HotW without anyone getting downed…whereas my party of 2 engi’s, a warrior and a ranger had problems with the first group. =/
It just depends on a lot of things, so it’s best to find a group to consistently run dungeons with, or else good luck with pugs. =)
I don’t use Healing Tome anymore as it is not useful because people are just do not know what you are doing except the guardians. =)
I switched to Tome of Wrath just for fun, it actually works a treat.

Haha, OP seems to be complaining about his team mates and not his class but he doesn’t seem to know that.
This game was made in such a way that there are many ways to pass challenges, such as dungeons. A dedicated healer is not necessary, however having said that I for one much appreciate those who can play that role well! So you need to find better and more organized team mates (might I suggest a nice guild) or simply carry multiple weapons with you and adjust where necessary….
I’d give you the range weapon in PvP thing since it’s actually a valid point. In PvE, we’re extremely strong. You just have bad groups so it’s not the guardian profession that needs help. You should communicate with your group more coordinating strategies, synergies, and cross profession combos. If I’m a warrior or any other class looking for dungeons, I’ll take a guardian and an elementalist first due to the utilities that they bring.

And this my friend is why I’ve yet to run a dungeon with anything but guildies.

In pvp : no good range weapon , in dungeons : you get only idiotic team that don`t know that you are there to protect and heal them , and don`t come into your bubbles , don`t stay behind your walls , when you cast tomb 30 skill point one and you say : CLOSER for full heal , they don`t understand why … so whats the point ? Are they gonna buff him , or what ?
No you are not! You are there to do what needs to be done! There is no point in being healing and protect if you party make-up doesn’t require it. Respec as needed! By respec I don’t mean retrait. I am running 10/0/30/20/10 but I don’t have the same trait bonuses selected. It depends what I need to do. If it looks like the group needs healing and protection from me, I change my trait bonuses to that. If it looks like they need DPS and/or control, I do that. You can only have a fixed role if you have a fixed group. But if your group make-up is fluid, you have to be fluid.
Guardian shines regardless of level in the spike trap part of the ghost eater Ascalon Catacombs mission, and anyplace where the game forgets that it’s not supposed to encourage tanking. That won’t change.

Guardians are amazing very, very, very, strong in pvp, to lose a 1v2 on my guardian makes me mad because it don’t happen often at all! i dont do pve but as over the top powerful i am in spvp and in wvw i cant see how they cant be overpowers in pve the utility ability’s looks like a pve’s wet dream.
If you Msg me i can link you 2 builds you cant go wrong with.
Never had a prob on my guardian. I either spec full tank spec and be a pure meatshield/which makes bosses insanely easy, or i can spec full support with my shields/regen auras/heals.
At the end of the day, im free to spec exactly how i want to play. If some random pug tries to dictate to me how i should play, yet theyre failing all over the place, i have no problem dropping group and jumping right into another.
