GW2. Support Core Guardian PvP Build. Protect Heal Guardian.

Last Update: September 2023
The Support Guardian is a slow but sturdy Support build that protects allies using aegis which also heals them and provides the most stability to their team so they can go unhindered. While this build is very safe, it can be slow and easy to target if left alone. Try to always stay with your team and revive them with the Mercy Signet if you can’t keep them up.
Healing Sources: Mace 2, F2, “Receive the Light”, Dodging on Allies, Staff 2/4, Shield 5 (2nd cast)
Aegis Sources: Mace 3, Shield 4, F3
Condition Cleanses: Staff 2 + 3 Combo, F2, Leadership Runes on Elite, “Save Yourselves!”

Thank you so much for all the builds on this website. I`m new to pvp and been using this build. I just want to ask if I can use this build on ranked games or you prefer to use healing firebrand?
Firebrand is not good atm. Just use the core guardian from this build.
This is a solid support build. I’ve found it really useful for holding a point, getting my opponents on cool down, and then letting my squad mates run in and mop up. Routinely 300-400k healing
Getting top revive and healing stats constantly but this is trash in the current meta unless you have actual good dps on your team which is rare. Heals don’t do enough, cd’s take too long to recharge. Current meta is way too bursty for this spec to be viable.
