Boss/MiniBoss Guarding...

Any strategies on avoiding boss/miniboss guarding? Any input is appreciated.

 

Stay out of red circle
if you are main target and are not a tank run

 

Well there is tricks for bosses. Like the running circle one. It's basically a tank runs in a circle while the boss is chasing the tank and the rest ppl should be mages or archers to pick the boss off. (Kill it)

 

Ah, I should clarify my question about more. I've noticed if I have support buffs, the boss/miniboss guards my attacks less. Yet, I can't figure out which support skill is the one helping do that. Also, did anyone notice any other method of making boss/miniboss guard less, besides support buffs.

 

I feel like the bosses gaurd is at random, maybe it guards right after the boss finish his moves like chargeing after a player (the red circle/line)

 

There is a stat called pierce
would this break guard?

 

Interesting. What skill tree is that from?

 

I seen it in blacksmith when I was stating a weapon

 

Oh, I misinterpreted what you wrote. It's an added equip stat? I'll have to check it out.
Edit: I wonder if certain weapon skills lower guard rate too.

 

Pierce should refur to armor break
slash for idk

 

There are no strategy or skill maybe pierce stats could be related but i think that increase damage when guarding the only advise i give its when u use arrow mage skill for instance and the monster guards recast a spell.Also i think that could be related with proration game system.

 

I've noticed flinch breaks gaurd... Watched Tortuga take way more damage when I made him flinch and no Gaurd texts were coming up...
