HiIn RoK raid instances all nameds and even trash moobs have nasty AE attacks so form my experience every AE immunity u can get for raid is  good.Guardians can offer Stone Sphere (and t8 upgrade forgot name) for group members - well 60% chance to intercept AE attack with risk of being hit - risky but useful.There is another one in Guardians AA tree - Got Your Back - this one could be nice but.....It gives 15s AE immunity for all other Fighters in grp. Just tel me how many times Guardian has other Fighter in grp on raid? Sometimes i have one Zerk - thats it. So for me this Skill is big misunderstanding. It should be for ALL classes in GRP, or  ALL  FIGHTERS in RAID.If it stays like it this skill will be totally useless. I wonder what do you think about it?

This two page thread is about the same skill <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=400364" target="_blank">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=400364</a>I have used it and it will block your AOE's as well as any fighters in your group unless the AOE is direct.  So, yes for a MT this is pretty useless.  But, for me as an Off Tank it is actually pretty nice because it will work for me to block AOE's since I am not the direct target if I am not tanking the mob.  I have used it in Protectors Realm(on the skeletons as well as Imzok) and it blocked the AOE's for me the Guardian when I wasn't tanking the mob.  For the Guardian it works just as the AA skill called <i>Block</i> works on nondirect AOE's.So, like our lvl 80 skill <i>Recapture</i>, this skill has its use in specific situations...mostly as an OT Guardian.  You can use it to block AOE's for you then save Block for when you need to tank or if there are multiple AOE's to worry about.  You just have to decide if spending 20 points down the line is worth it.
