Guild Wars 2

I’ve been gone since October or November and finally got my PC working again and am getting back into the game but I’ve got a few questions.
Is the new heal skill, Defiant Stance, worth it or are Healing Signet and Healing Surge still the go to heals?
There was a S/S+LB build that was fun for pvp. 0/0/20/30/20 or something? Anyone know what I’m talking about and if its still viable?
Did the healing signet tweaks make any real difference, or is it still just a set it and forget it heal?
Were there any other major changes that happened? I only skimmed over the release notes.

As a general question are condi builds still looked down upon, not just on warriors but other classes, or have they been given a buff yet(in a pve environment)?

The new heal is only good for massive zergs in WvW, otherwise no.

The standard condi build is 0/30/20/0/20 or 0/10/30/30. Dire with the first, apothecary and shouts with the second.

HS is being tweaked by 8% in march. Nothing else has been done to it

Every thing else is the exact same

the fun dueling build s/s lb still works
