Hey guys since a lot ppl asking me about build i play, i decided a quick short guide and with list of builds that i prefer, in the future i will definetely make also some longer guides etc.. when i will have more time to do it but still i will be able to anwer on ur questions here.
Build 1: AH – all maps except Legacy of the Foefire map

-U might wonder why no intel sigil or “Strenght in numbers” trait, basically i picked up Retributive Armor which gives me 13% crit, on small points u will proc vigor all time in 10 secs from symbols in team fights so no reason get Intel sig there, i get also 2x water sigils which is good for supp that lacks this build a bit.
-Healing Breeze instead of Shelter. This healing skill is really good for supporting allies and makes the build very efficient in teamfights due to focus (blinds). Most important thing is “Empower”, number 4 skill on staff. It heals yourself a lot due to proc from AH trait. If you are low and want to save big Cooldowns for your allies just leave the point and use it by LoS:ing (Line of Sighting). By doing so you prevent wasting important Cooldowns that may be the survival of your allies and definately the ultimate way of supporting as a Guardian in a teamfight.
Build 2: VIRTUE – Legacy of the Foefire map

-As u can see on this build i picked up Intel. sigil reason is because Legacy has big points so its hard to land crits and most of the time u stay at the back or in los while supp ur allies.
-Sword- For faster stomping/ressing/mobility, when u stay back means u cant stomp fast enough so pick sword for this if ur allies get a kill u save ur blink and instant blink on the enemy before he goes down to get instant stomp. Sometimes mili secs mather to get a stomp or not. Also blink really effective with #5 Shield of Absorption which can save ur ally such as enemy thief solo dps ur ally outside point u can use blink+SoA for protect.
-Con. Ground Trait over Master of Con. this choise also because of ur position u are staying at the back so u can use it on ur ally from 900 range also can use it off/deff for cc.
-Virtue build is so much stronger for supp than AH, but AH better on other maps because the points are small and in this meta the aoe have so much damage. Sometimes if u are more bunker means u are more supp because if u need kite out of the point more u also risky that ur ally will need to use of his CDs because they replaced u. Also the virtue build if on small point makes that u need waste a lot cds for surv rather than just los, save ur cds and heal back wiht Empower on AH build. Also u if run AH build u should always use virtue of justice for blind while casting empower to not get interrupted and has good sync wiht mights from empower and get some burn pressure and a little bit more might stacks.
-Example where to kite on legacy map or use with wall to not get chased :

-Example where to use empower in los if u are low and want safe heal after that u should be fine again and u can jump on point
