Like some of the ideas. But dont really think guards need a huge boost in dps. UT/hate is the way to go and some more dps. Guards are a leader and should be experts on fighting skill/def. Cant really remeber the names on some buffs since i havent played my guard since tso. Here are some ideas anyway. 5% hit chance on combat skill buff. Sphere need to be fixed since it will kill you more than its saves the group so lower the damage you take from you group members alot. Dont remove it since i really think that would be to OP but lower it. Plant. Well i dont understand why this one got changed in the first place... It should be KB immune its not OP at all imo... since you get rooted yourself and KB can easy be avoided by tanking up on a wall. add some threat on 100% when the guardian takes damage and plant is up. This will help guards alot in aoe cont and ST cont. Raid wide buff. Since def doesent work on raids it makes no sens to have this buff. Even in group cont this buff is useless since the mob should hit the guard not your group members. Change it to something els. raid wide health and with AA add 5% hit chance or something like that. Got your back should be a group aoe block.. make it have higher reuse speed or what ever to not be to OP. Since most of the AA:s over you have to place points in this buff really need to be something better than protect other fighters or none would ever spec in it anyway. Guard myth got destroyed in rok after being the best weapon of all fighters. I mean the proc alone was changed at first from 10% damage reduction to 5% since the guard got so much unconntested avoidance from it anyway. If you want it to stay as a proc change it back to 10% damage reduction guards are def tanks after all. I really think guards should get some kinda of damage bonus when using a shield this is where the so called defensiv tank lack the most. Not sure how tho. Recapture. Make it increase the guards threat aswell when using it that way you will make sure your OT will get the mob if you die mob memwipe or something like that. As it is now with the low hate gain of the guardian he wont be tanking at all when using it. cripple reduce the mobs damge out put. Not sure what your idea was but this is mine anyway.
