But yea, Guardians are very, very dependent on taking massive spikes of damage now, and are very weak at healing steady amounts of periodic damage. If we were to take 50% of our health in a single hit, we would heal 100% of our health in 4 seconds. But otherwise, we got 1.5% of our health every 5 seconds, ~9% of our health every 24 seconds... and thats it. Try to get ANY source of leech you can, that goes a long way for Guardian.
