GW2. Raid Build. Aegis Heal Firebrand. Support Guardian PvE 2023.
Last Update: Jan 2023
Overview
The Aegis Heal Firebrand is a Support guardian build with incredible team support due to the amount of aegis it provides. It also gives fury, might, quickness, swiftness, protection, and stability. While this build is one of the best primary healers, it requires close proximity for some of its support skills to land on allies.
Playstyle
Role: Support 
or Tank 
Use both the Mantra of Solace and Mantra of Potence often to keep quickness up on the group. Use any symbol off cooldown and make sure aegis is on the party before a mechanic will hit them. Use Staff 4 to give might if needed, and blast the symbols with Staff 2 or use the F2 tome for cleanse. The F3 tome gives reflects, aegis, and resistance. Use these tools sparingly to conserve pages, so that you can save them for when they are necessary.
