Some near-endgame play of the Guardian Archetype unique to the Rebirth City of Heroes Server (https://play.cityofheroesrebirth.com/public/). Cinder isn't really kitted out with enhancement sets so I'm playing with the difficulty at near default though she probably could have easily gone at level +1 easily.

Back during live, this archetype didn't exit. With the different servers arising Rebirth decided to set themselves apart with a custom made archetype.

Guardian's are a jack of all trades class near. They got a near middle of the road modifier on attacks defense and support abilities, they usually don't have a lot of controls (except for infiltration training force composition). Guardians primary is a mix of melee and range, much like dominators, but their secondary powerset combines defensive toggles of melee classes with PBAoE support powers. Those savvy to stock COH powers may notice Cinder has a variation of the single target damage buff from flame corruptors rekit into a slow-recharging PBAoE that is generally getting tapped every time it is ready.

Fire is probably one of the more squishier of the guardian secondaries forcing you to lean on the heal move. While it's much like the aoe heal from the flame support, the recharge takes twice as long, making this archetype rather poor at straight healing, but better then nothing.
