Tank: 1H Sword + Shield (LVL 150 cap)

Hohoho guardian is so much better than sanctuary now
It reduces dmg, increases guard rate, and increases aggro!!!
I am so glad i save 10sp for it.
ms.athena should definitely get it
Very good for all pure tanks

 

Can someone make a video explaining the effect of both new shield skills with detail? So I know what to do with my tank build too.
(I mean, being retired there's like really no use for me to level up to 110, so if someone is so kind to demo the skills, I'd thank it a lot.)

 

I do think it is a skill suited for my tank, which is 0% offensive and 100% defensive. One thing to ask, you said the skill has an aoe with 5m radius. Is the aoe visible for the others?

Ah, and what about the skill after Shield Cannon?

 

In what way does the skill level affect? Perhaps it could be convenient to leave it at Lv1 and use it just for the utility of the 600 MP saved... I plan on swifting Heavy Smash. Short, fast and colossal aggro combo.

Opener > 600 MP saved > Shell Break (cons) > Heavy Smash (swift) > HF (swift) and just spam. 1500 aggro points inside 100 MP with fast enough repetitions to keep it going.

 

The blue icon(like the yellow and purple icon from protection/aegis) appears below their mp bar but they can not see the yellow ring around me
I did a little test 100auto atks from gs before buff and after buff with lvl10guardian
By counting each guard out of its 4atk combo i guarded 42atks without buff and whooping 79atks with the buff
The guard rate boost is no joke its like the guard equivalent of reflex
For skill lvl guard strike:-
I think for guard strike its just dmg boost us brawler tanks need to wait till dex can be added to and thrash drillz coz the cdmg nerf from drillz applied on it after this skill can definitely add some dps with a good refined shield and guard buff from guardian
For skill lvl guardian:-
Each skill lvl added 10sec to the aura/buff
Each skill lvl added range of the aura 1m for lvl2 and 1m every 2lvl after that it was 5m at lvl10
At lvl10 the skill remains at 600mp
I will assume it increases the buffs which is aggro/guard rate by every lvl too

 

Btw while we are at it does anyone know if the proc rate of lethargy on hs increases with lvl? Its the only possible way to reduce fractional dmg so i am thinking of getting it to at least lvl5 if not lvl10

 

I doubt on that thing a bit coz many fractional atks are actually fatal(always considering max hp%) and it said it can not reduce fatal atks,
According to your description it reduces by 95% only if the dmg is very low compared to your max hp, but even non fatal fractionals(that consider current hp%) like do very high dmg when your hp is full so it wont reduce it that much? :/
Though idk i never tried sanctuary tbh for me support skills are better of for a supporter mage build since some of them require cspd, which i plan on making one soon if i get enough time

 

Awesome! I will keep this combo in mind for later thanks ^^

 

Yep I plan on starting to get guardian this lvl cap

 

Good to know. I plan on adding it. I'll update this once I finish lvling. I'm not maxed yet

 

Her build is resistance based like mine so she doesnt have sanctuary
We use protection/aegis to reduce dmg
So initial guardian cast combo:- astute+Guardian(save)+trigger(swift)+ragesword(swift)+assault(swift)
Short and fast combo:-holy fist+trigger(save)+ragesword(swift)+astute(swift)
Though i usually prefer only 3skills long combos for short and fast coz they give proper chance to dodge enemy aoe
if u are able to get the 2mp skill on sword skills u can make it with rage sword and another 1mp skill
