Top 3 Reasons Heal Guardians Are Less Impactful

This explanation is mostly for newer Guardians.

1- Burning is a lot rarer now.You used to heal for 500k to 650k, you don't anymore because DH is irrelevant.

Pure of Voice, when you shout convert a condition to a boon converts burning into Aegis.

Without DH to apply burning to your team, your team no longer randomly blocks everything & heals each time burn is converted to aegis.

2- Stand your Ground was a huge sustain tool

Stand your ground was one of your biggest self-sustain skills. Altruistic healing (Heal yourself when you grant a boon to an ally) healed you for each stack of a boon applied to all allies you apply it to.

So let's say in a 4vx, you give a 5x Stability and Retal to 3 other teammates. That's a straight-up 1,680 self-heal. 1960 if each teammate also had a condition on them.3- Revs got nerfedMesmers and Thieves used to be strictly outclassed by Revs, which is awful for Guardians because of the number of boonrips mesmers & thieves have access to. The more thieves + mesmers there are in games, the more likely you are to get your signet interrupted and have a bad time.

Hope this will help clear up to less experienced players why their class feels way less impactful now despite minor nerfs.

1 there is still loads of burning cough cough scourge everywhere.2 should you even be using stand your ground? spamming stab against teams full of scourges doesnt sound like a good idea to me.3 revs got love tapped again, you will still see 2x more revs then thiefs and mesmers combined

The shout Mender core guard is insanely strong, but that doesn't matter as Mender's is getting removed.
