What Did I Want From This Build?
So at this time, I’m working with this build above. I’m looking to support my party in dungeons and world PvE. What I was aiming for was a blend of damage, with buff and healing support. Without compromising too much on armor or vitality to remain solid in those pro-longed fights. I work on a three focus system with builds as I believe this is the best way to go with a dungeon guardian.

The Core Focus?
Hitting crits/buffing to give boons to allies; proccing AH trait to add survivability to fights.

The Mediocre Focus?
Sustaining damage with a moderate crit chance + crit damage rate to bring fights to an end quicker.

The Lesser Focus?
Increased Boon Duration + Healing Support

I chose my lesser focus to be Boon Duration and Healing support, because we should all know by now, how good the guardian is at support/buffs, so I felt because of this, it was better to put it as a lesser focus as the guardian is decent at this as a base anyway, allowing me to squeeze more out of the other focus’s.

I’m looking for advice and tips as to my setup, is there anything you would change? How do my stats look at the moment? Am I lacking too much in some areas?
I’m all ears to any comments.

Ill share my support build. Its 0/0/10/30/30 with 70% base boon duration, ~2700ish thougness, about 800+on healing p and it works really really wonderfull. With recent experimenting with gear parts it actually does pretty neat dmg too. Honor grandmaster trait line is really the core for it, giving pure voice for neat condi removal and by adding some changes can make hammer really shine with its auto-attack. It all works really great for me and im never having any problems, heck i even not so long ago finished spider queen with her remaining ~40%hp in ac expl when all my party members died .Oh and i always carry all the weapon types available for my guardian(which is sometimes a bit annoying but always rewarding).Hope i helped you somehow by sharing my experience

That’s an interesting approach. but does your damage lack ? The problem I would have with that would be it seems a bit too one sided to benefit you personally with boon duration, and less of the party (except heals) I think personally I’d want to sacrifice some of that for more sustained damage.

I got base 12%crit chance and 23%crit dmg but with the gs its 18%+5%(sigil) and 32%crit dmg so infact i feel quite powerful actually

Boon Duration doesn’t apply to boons you receive, but ones you cast.

Your Empowering Might (base 5 sec) if you had 50% Boon Duration would be 7.5 to everyone around you (up to 5). If some other Guardian also procced Empowering Might, his stack would just add for 5 seconds.
So everyone else would have 2 stacks of Might for 5 secs, 1 stack for 2.5 before it runs out.

OH I see, so the duration actually effects the boons you apply to OTHERS aswell… that put#s a new perspective to my formula. As it stands though, going by my current standing, is there much you would change gear wise? to get the most out of the stats?
