Based on my experience, My guardian only has 15,045k Hp. 1211 armor defense, 1701 toughness and 424 healing power. I don’t have to study the math behind the damage I absorb and the amount that I heal.
In Arah dungeon, If Lupicus’ poisonous globs hit 2 times, ill have atleast 3k hp left. I’ll pop my Smite Condition to heal atleast 2k++ health bringing me to 5k something HP. Normally, My Signet of Resolve will atleast heal 8.6k bringing me back at 14k hp. Ofcourse the passive effect of Virtue of Resolve will regen me back at 15k hp. That will make me go back at him at full DPS.
Skill wise, “Hold the Line!” and “Save Yourselves!” will heal total of 4k something. plus it will grant me additional defense making it a good healing utility skills. If I’m feeling adventurous, I can pop Renewed Focus and ignore 3 secs of damage while popping my virtues for additional effects.
With the cooldowns, smite condition is at 16 sec, SoF 32 secs, SY at 60secs and HtL at 35secs.
The whole point of my post is to show everyone that a guardian can be tanky and self healing sufficient meat shield while having an aggressive DPS. I also have 600 heals from my rolls (that’s x2) and additional heals from my staff and focus. You can make this build better and more powerful as long as know how to apply your skills and when and where. This game is not about your gear or class or your race, It’s about how good you can play it.
