Guard rate while DW-ing

Does it work? I'm planning on a semi-tanking, skill-based DW with heavy armor. But guard rate sounds like a shield and 2H thing lol.

Is this feasible? or should i just stick with dodge/evade for survivability?

 

I would go with evasion and flee. My full Agi build feels pretty good concerning survival (see link below). To make it more tankish I'd suggest the following skill changes: astute 1 instead of 10, skip the 20 points in battle tree. Increase spinning slash from 1 to 10. Add reflex 10. Add provoke 10 (if u are having issues with aggro). Of course you can also adjust ur gear as you see fit.

Hope I could help

I am currently using dex/agi/crit build and equipped w/ heavy remodeled custom gear Forest Wolf Cape, and RelicSword. Guess what? I evade, dodge, and guard xD aspd sucks tho. ._. Only got 700+ w/heavy remodeled gear on.

 

I like that CRT up though. I feel I'm gonna need it if i'm not dishing out as much as those pure DPS types. what diff does level 1 and 10 provoke do? Nice points there dude thanks

 

Niiiice. So it works right? does aspd affect skill's speed too?

 

What u mean by skill's speed? ._.
You mean when comboing? I feel that everything is slow w/ this kind of gear. The chance of triggering evasion and misses is low too. I think getting Heavy Armor Mastery would help me do more guards and having Dodge Up would help w/ getting misses happen more often. As for evasion, I guess I'll need to use xtals.

 

Uhh how fast a character does a skill? lol. Sorry kinda new to toram. I was planning on a skill spamming DW so i didn't think much of aspd but if it does fasten how we execute skills then i'll have to include it
