Mostly something I was just thinking about in my free time. Guardian+Mesmer that controls enemies punishing movement with a little boon manipulation and soft healing support. The healing mostly came from the druids current idea for staff and how it heals when it passes through allies.
IMPORTANT This is no where near balanced it was just an idea. A lot of things still needs duration, icds and cds. All criticism is welcome!

So. As you can see I had a few conflicting ideas, but I though the general idea of it all was really cool. I’m not too sound on the name doesn’t really fit and like i mentioned before it really needs all kinds of balance. Could be a cool hybrid between soft support and attrition. The spec itself lacks escape I found it hard to put in there because you would not be sacrificing and would only be gaining. Also since it was more attrition focused I didn’t see the immediate need to add and blinks as guards we have JI.
Earlier on I was messing around with wards instead of symbols. But, with how I implemented them the battle field would quickly be littered with 4-5 zones that enemies couldn’t get in or out of and it was a little op. Virtue of woe had the same effect but the tether was a ward knocking players who passed through it down and knocking players down caused agony. This could have been a much better support/control spec with less damage more oriented for a bunker guard.
I feel like what I ended up with is a slightly op attrition guard where if you cant cleanse in time you would rather not move as agony can stack fast. A lot of it is short duration so I hope that it would balance it out, no way of testing.
All feedback and criticism is welcome this was just for fun really.
