Guardian Only Armor?

[Hoshino]

<DIV>I heard that there is armor out there just for the Guardians. Has anyone seen or have it themselves? I'm on the road, I dont remember the name w/o the guide. </DIV>

[Cleric]

<DIV>There is no guardian specific armor.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Originally, Vangaurd armor was going to be Guardian only, but that was scrapped.</DIV>

[Choombatta]

<DIV>If you are referring to the pieces such as "Guardian's Gauntlets", then it can be used by anyone wtih the Heavy Armor skill, not just guardians.</DIV>

[Bruge]

<DIV>Yeah i was kinda [Removed for Content] about the Vanguard deal. In Beta Vanguard was supposed to be Guardian/Zerker and Templar/Inquis only. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Then game goes live and guildy dings 20 as a Pally and links his new shoulders, Pristine Carbonite Vanguard.... At that point i was still under the impression that Vanguard was reserved for us and the healers. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But no, Pallies and SKs complained in Beta, so now they can wear our nice Vanguard and have a Horse, and get Class specific heritage swords....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What do us Guardians get to call our own, Nothing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oh well, thats life i guess.</DIV>

<DIV>Guardians and berserkers get tower shields, which none of the other fighters can equip.  That's a fairly visible indicator that you're looking at a warrior, plus they really can boost your AC up to levels the other fighters can't achieve with equipment.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I didn't realize there were class-only swords.  What are they?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

I think he means Ghoulbane which (was?) class-specific only in EQ1 but can now be equipped by anyone with the appropriate swords kill.

[Korpo]

Don't forget that guardians can use basically every kind of weapon, whereas paladins can't use axes, spears, bows, daggers, or throwing weapons. As for the class specific sword, the only one I know of is the Ghoulbane, and I believe anyone can use it.

[Bruge]

<DIV>I was referring to ghoulbane, i was misinformed that it was pally only. But i just saw a guardian wielding it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was wrong on that account. Disregard. :smileytongue:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But im still [Removed for Content] about the Vanguard. </DIV>

[Can_O_Sp]

<DIV>There are 2 versions of ghoulbane evidently.  Weakened and non weakened.....weakened is a pally only weapon and GB is for anyone who can weild a sword.</DIV>

[Can_O_Sp]

<DIV>Where does the ghoulbane come from?  As in the quest?</DIV>

[TunaBoo]

Its a hertiage quest. Ghoulbane isn't the greatest, but its passable if you do early enough and looks coolcheck eq2.ogaming for a walkthrough.

[Can_O_Sp]

<DIV>Oh...I was replying to your previous post.  I know where the ghoulbane comes from (did the dusty blue stone quest).  Weakened GB comes first then you have to kill the harder stuff to get the regular GB.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Can_O_Spam on <span class=date_text>02-02-2005</span> <span class=time_text>11:33 AM</span>

<DIV>Funny, I am a Guardian and I use Weakened Ghoulbane just fine.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>No clue why one of the previous posters decided to mislead with that "Pally only" on the Weakened Ghoulbane.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Weakened Ghoulbane and Ghoulbane can both be used by anyone that can use 1 handed swords.</DIV>

[Styk]

For the ghoulbane at least IMO they messed up in not keeping it a pally only weapon.... kinda screwed over some lore but its ok, not the best 1h for 30-40 lvling anyways so that compensates ....

[Benaire]

Vanguard used to be knights and guardians for fighters i dont know about the clerics.

With the absence of the Gods from Norrath in this time period, 'Holy Swords' don't really hold the same meaning.

Not to hijack the thread, but what's a better one hander?The thing procs 12-15 dmg every hit against undead, even when using specials.
