<p>Waste of time</p><p>but is it?</p><p>lets think a guarian (they keep aggros thats what there for) in a strange situation wants to give aggro to another then spend time getting it back, maybe thats fun i dont know</p><p>but</p><p> Raids! splitting mobs maybe thats the way...no the spell just gives them the aggro no splitting just gives them all</p><p> Grouping lol do you grp with more than 1 guard</p><p> but maybe theres a shining light at the end of the tunnell surely if your on a pvp server with all thos spamming there lvl 80 spells you can use yours to force targets from squisheys onto a fighter? no you cant because our spell dosent work on pvp combat</p><p> so i humbly ask in this grammatically uncorrct and badly spelled post what the hell the point is of the guarsdians lvl 80 power and why could it not have been somthing simple like a super taunt (15 min timer) that may have been useful?</p>

Ive used this once just to test it out and i lost aggro and killed a brusier so its not all bad <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" />all joking aside it is bs for us to get this when all the other fighters get something at least half useful

I am not 80 yet but once I am I will use it in raids all the time since I am the offtank and during adds I assume our MT will use it.

I think i can see a use for this (not shur thow so tell me if im wrong?). Use it on your OT when you run out of power (or its sapped away?)and were going to lose agro shortly there after anyway? Wouldnt that be the perfect way to inshur the tanks never loss agro? May be its not us but we can deside who gets it next right?

<p>Personally I think this skill is total junk. Sure it can give another fighter agro(if its not resisted) but as a MT guardian most of the time I wouldnt want to do that. Also if I want another fighter to get agro all I have to do is stop attacking for a second and bam a berserker takes agro. Sure it could have its uses sometimes but I feel for the overall usefulness of the ability we could definatly use something better.</p><p>Berserkers get an ability to lower their damage taken by 50% for 30 seconds and due to a broken skill dont even take the negative effect which is a 100% power drain, 50% at first and 5% every 3 seconds for 30 seconds. Why, as guardians where we are suposed to protect our group members NOT give them agro, can we not have an ability that lowers all damage taken to the group by 10% for 30 seconds and is broken so we dont take the negative effect? Instead we try to save ourselves and give the agro to another group or raid member so they can die instead. How are we guarding them?</p>

<p>Based on what I read this is purely for off tankin use only which makes no damm sense..but hect we r the only class in the game with a useful abilty for raid where we take armor damage when used, ala Tower of Stone....go figure...</p><p>I've looked at some of the other tank lvl 80 special abilities and guards got rooked again...will soe ever get a darn thing correct....doubtful cause not sure any devs or gms actually play guards....but i do see alot playin brigs and assasins....</p><p>Be nice if soe actually asked people who play guards  for a wish list and try and make least 1 useful spell/abilty come into play...I can dream at least.</p><p>Lol...friend of mine did make an off comment with all the Zerkers complaining bout guards it prob was a dev who plays 1 who suggested it..doubtful but funny non the less.</p>

Pretty medicore ability in general, although quite useful for RoK raiding. It is lacklustre compared to other new spells granted to other tank classes at 80, but Guardians still dominate in raids, so it's of little concern.

Sure they are still good tanks and do their job but I wouldnt say they are any better than another fighters, yes this does include monks and bruisers but moreso monks than bruiser.
