Guardians have one of the hardest jobs just like all classes specialized in defensive support. Whereas ele skill curve is about learning rotations and surviving in a really squishy setup, guard success isn’t your own survivability. A good guard isn’t the last one standing, he’s the one taking care of all the other people mistakes and it requires awareness. Since guardians, as opposed to mesmers, have usually long to average cooldowns on their supporting skills, they need to time it well.
Quite anecdotal but for your particular exemple, no guard isn’t supposed to find scepter pieces, but any class can. We usually send eles or thieves because of their mobility and invul/ stealth.
tl;dr: defensive buffers and supportive classes like guardian requires something else than the normal personal skill you still have to get, and you can’t go afk and spam your rotations ( in a non experienced group at least). Every class has their own role they have to fullfill, but guardians have a lot of things to think about, and that makes the difference between an average guardian and a great guardian.
EDIT: also, stop deleting the OP, it’s confusing.
