    Which one is able to better mitigate damage? Guard rate or Guard Power. Thanks :3 Got 2 shields - Vulcan shield with 35% Guard Rate or Dark General's Shield 30% Guard Power

    I assume you understand what is the different of guard rate and guard power,
    Vulcan have 35% GR, 10% GP
    DGS have 14% GR, 30% GP

    Example boss damage is 1 and it’s hit you 100 times
    Vulcan have chance on blocking 35 times and reduce 0.1 damage per block, so your total damage received is..
    (100-35)+(35*0.9) = 65+ 31.5= 96.5 damage

    DGS have chance on blocking 14 times and reduce 0.3 damage per block, so you’re toral damage received is...
    (100-14)+(14*0.7) = 86+9.8= 95.8 damage

    Vulcan Shield = 96.5 damage
    DGS = 95.8 damage

    Well if you x100 for the damage, DGS should be better.

    I will recommend DGS also because from what I search in coryn database, GP boost item is less compare to GR, plus DGS got aggro boost. Hp boost and the 10% Dark resistant, it’s really good for tank use.....

    Guard rate and Guard power go hand in hand.

    Guard rate - chance to guard
    Guard power - damage reduced when guarding

    You can have 90% Guard rate but if your guard power is shit, it won't do you any good vice versa.

    As for what shield is better for mitigating damage, go with DGS because the Guardian skill already gives a lot of guard rate so you don't really need high guard rate shield.
