Longbow Dragonhunter for open-world and instanced PvE: heavy burst windows, traps to hold targets in place, and a big heal between pulls.
This build leans on the Dragonhunter elite specialization to turn the Guardian's natural support kit into a damage dealer. Zealot's Aggression rewards you for keeping the target trapped, Hunter's Determination turns each trap into a burst of might, and Big Game Hunter pays out whenever a trap lands, so the loop is simple: drop Test of Faith under the enemy, pull them into it, and unload.
Procession of Blades does double duty as damage and area denial, while Dragon's Maw gives the build its finisher. Between fights, Shelter restores health and Mantra of Potence charges up before the next pull, so you rarely stop moving.
Radiance and Zeal fill the remaining trait lines with passive burning pressure: Fiery Wrath adds burn damage to every symbol tick, Zealous Blade keeps greatsword swings cheap, Inner Fire feeds virtue generation, Radiant Fire spreads burns across packs, and Amplified Wrath makes the whole burning package hit harder.
