<DIV>Ok I retired my guardian as a adventurer.    But the Griffon tower project called so when all the artisens rallied to  I grabbed some fuel and lumbered out of netterville one more time to answer the call ... to sew in my full body thimble.    ROAR     20 minutes later as I puffed into Thunderstep village as we were at about 168/180 on that one.   Our community heads were calling the craftesmen off and scribes and sending them on to T4/T5  while we Outfitters made up for our part.      Part of the event had 21 to down arrow undead spawning.    Not a problem we had a flock of monks playing with them while us solid tpyes hammered away.    We finished the tower .. Yay.   The monk flutteroff to find eggs and bolts for the next tower.    </DIV> <DIV>  I switch toons because i cant craft for another hour.    I get COve tower fired up on my carpenter. then switch back to my guardian.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>OK Guardian is only one at tower not hig lvl afk.   I get jumped by a 21 down... np i pull him toward the village.    MINUTE later I have him orange when one of his buddies finds me and attacks.   NP I have 70 percent power and 80 percent health.   I put donw the first and have have the second yellow when 2 more wander in.    OK now my health is dropping to 25 and the second one is still at orange almost red.    He geta a heal and I try to run.    I make 60 feet and get pounded flat.    Bitter I respawn and Beg a high lvl for a group so i can spend 15 mintues running to next work site  as anything in the river will kill a 28 guard and Cents hate me(never persnoally killed one but have grouped with those who have).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I do my thing at Cove tower and everyone is taking the tower off cant get an group for an evac to get to nec so i call of Qeynos back get more fuel and get a ticket to nek where I end the nite completing beach tower.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now tell me where in this SONY New Order a average guardian fits I have a 32 mitiagation and 29 Avoidance in Defence mode with a treasured 1hs and tower sheild fabled boots and full set of handcrafted armor.    I hear about all these Guardians that are happy but everyone is almost full blue or black armor.    its 6 plat for the rares for a set of steel armor at lvl 28.   CLoser to 9 plat for feysteel if you knwo an armor that works for free.     Why can a 22monk out tank in tanned( yes T2handcrafted not T3 armor) better then a 28Guard.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My fun that nite was Tailoring.    Making 400 stretches of leather is quicker then getting bubble of exp on the guard.   I have played Guardian for almost 10 months and if there was a Destroyer of bears I would have it.    Now I slug even with 24 down bears.  and rest a minute to get power and health.    My power bar is so small I have problems on a hard crafting(912) power.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I dont see how any Guardian that is not decked in the Richest armor in the game per teir can lift his viser in public.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have made 50gold in 3 weeks selling armor  I figure buy July i can buy enough or harvest enough rares for a slow horse and set of real armor.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Plate armor is also double to triple any leather or cloth.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If anyone plans on making a guardian have a very big sugerdaddy or lots of friend that give freebie rares.   The Defender is not Cheap you lazy serfs harvest faster.    </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Guardian is not even close to a balence on the 20 to 40 game.    all Plate classes on server getting rare   and those left more then half are sporting rare armors.    This system of mit  and avoid and treasure type is way off in scale.    My dirge is a better tank then my guardian both in mititagion and avoidance( yes he uses a sheidl and 1hs too)    He pulls and group tanks triple up orange better too.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>the Peasant Guardian is a retired guardian there is no room in the game for a guard without the rare armors.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I know my class, I am not an unsung Hero,   I am the wall and none may cross my line while I breath.   </DIV>

<div></div>Post combat changes, wearing handcrafted for a guardian is like wearing nothing at all. I would recommend visiting the broker, and searching for treasured quality items for any slots that have handcrafted.  Hopefully there is still a decent supply of those items in your level range.  Steel is nice for the bp/legs, as the procs help quite a bit.  You also would want to upgrade your defensive abilities (stance/group buffs).  Mitigation tanks are going to be more dependant on their gear to be a decent tank than avoidance tanks. You can always reroll as a monk or brawler and join the dark side....especially since you have some levels of tailoring.  I'm sure you'd find those 20ish levels go by a lot faster when you have dps, and know where to hunt. If I were lower level, I'd simply have restarted as a bruiser class, but it was quicker for me to mine my butt off for the armor, than it was to level back up. <div></div><p>Message Edited by Aaric on <span class=date_text>11-11-2005</span> <span class=time_text>10:24 AM</span>

<P>agreed not much treasured on the market and like i said it will be a good 8 months to buy the rare for the next tier and i get a rare every 2 to 5 hundred harvests.   agian Only rich people can play plate classes now.    I am a tailor I almost have to give away imbued leather and cloth or the odd rare leather.    market is so far under armors on their stuff and i knwo they sell most their stuff straight to the npc now unless its rare or imbued.</P> <P> </P>
