<div>Hey all,</div><div> </div><div>My friend plays a Guardian, and I was looking to make them some Adept 3's, but I don't want to make a skill they're going to get replaced soon. Came here looking for a skill tree, but the only one I can find is pre-revamp/expansion. Does anyone know where I can find one?</div><div> </div><div>-Condar Tarsonia</div>

<div>Thanks Dan, but I'm looking for a tree <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> One that shows the upgrade paths of skills, thats just a description of each. Can you help me find one of those? Would greatly appreciate it.</div><div> </div><div>-Condar Tarsonia</div>

<div></div>Ok, well using Dan's advice, I figured out the Guardian skill tree. Spent about an hour making it look nice, so here's what I came up with. Bear with me on the formatting here <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Hope it helps, and if you notice anything missing, please let me know.<hr>Sentinel (20) -> Safe Guard (34) -> Sentry (4<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Allows the guardian to protect an ally, sometimes absorbing most of the physical damage an ally would otherwise take.Allay (21) -> Maneuver (35) -> Assuage (49)Grants the guardian a chance to shield an ally from melee attacks, by allowing the target a chance to use the guardian's avoidance check after their own avoidance check. This also decreases the target's hate generation.Bury (21) -> Topple (35) -> Tremor (49)A melee attack that strikes all nearby enemies surrounding the guardian.Shouting Cry (22) -> Smothering Cry (36) -> Protect (50)Increases the hate of all enemies in an encounter towards the guardian. This ability can be used while stifled or stunned.Slam (22) -> Crush (36) -> Blast (50)A high damage crushing melee attack.Guardian's Call (23) -> Call to Battle (37) -> Call to War (51)Increases the offensive combat skills of the guardian's group.Call of Command (24) -> Call of Protection (3<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> -> Call of Defense (52)Increases the defense skill of the guardian's group.Taunting Challenge (24) -> Vengeful Strike (3<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> -> Unforgiving Strike (52)A melee attack that increases the target's hate towards the guardian if it hits.Ruin (25) -> Ferocious Charge (39) -> Relentless Charge (53)A melee attack that decreases target's offensive melee skills and deal additional slashing damage over time on a successful hit.Battle Cry (26) -> Commanding Presence (40) -> Commanding Aura (54)Increases the physical defense of the guardian's group against slashing, piercing, and crushing attacks for a short duration. Defense versus slashing and piercing attacks is improved.True Strike (26) -> Unerring Strike (40) -> Perfect Strike (54)A very accurate melee attack that rarely misses.Bull Rush (27) -> Staggering Slam (41) -> Staggering Rush (55)A shield attack that knocks the enemy down and stuns them for a short duration. This attack requires a shield.Wall of Flesh (27) -> Wall of Brawn (41) -> Wall of Might (55)Increases the defense of the guardian in exchange for decreased movement and attack speeds. Also grants a chance to root opponents that attack the guardian in melee.Iron Will (2<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> -> Iron Conviction (42) -> Steely Conviction (56)Increases the guardian's stamina.Maim (2<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> -> Cleave (42) -> Hew (56)A melee attack that deals additional slashing damage over time and reduces the target's combat attack damage on a successful hit.Goading Defense (29) -> Maddening Defense (43) -> Inflaming Defense (57)Grants a chance to increase hate with any opponent that damages the guardian. This ability also roots the guardian in place.Shatter (29) -> Overwhelm (43) -> Overpower (57)A melee attack that does some extra damage.Stance: Desperate Flurry (30) -> Stance: Desperate Rush (44) -> Stance: Desperate Charge (5<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Increases the guardian's offensive melee skills and strength, at the cost of decreased defense and parry skill. This is the guardian's primary offensive stance.Stance: Dig In (30) -> Stance: Fortified Stance (44) -> Stance: Steadfast Stance (5<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Greatly increases defense, parry, physical and heat damage mitigation at the cost of offensive melee skills and combat attack damage. This is the guardian's primary defensive stance.Batter (31) -> Vindication (45) -> Buffet (59)A melee attack that deals crushing damage and drains some of the target's power on a successful hit.Suppress (31) -> Deafen (45) -> Confront (59)Interrupts the target and increases their hate towards the guardian.Entrench (32) -> Anchor (46) -> Plant (60)Roots the guardian in place. This effect increases trauma mitigation and decreases the guardian's attack rate and melee attack damage.Never Surrender (32) -> Vigilance (46) -> Unyielding Vigilance (60)Grants the guardian a chance to shield an ally from melee attacks, by allowing the target a chance to use the guardian's avoidance check after their own avoidance check. This also increases the guardian's parry skill.Do or Die (33) -> Return to Battle (47)Increases the maximum health of the guardian's group.Invade (33) -> Swamp (47)An extra high damage single enemy attack.Retaliate (40) -> Quelling Strike (54)A high damage attack that staggers the target, preventing them from making normal combat attacks for a short duration.Taunting Assault (44) -> Goading Assault (5<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />An area of effect melee attack that increases the target encounter's hate towards the guardian.Guardian Sphere (50)Allows the guardian to protect the entire group, sometimes absorbing all the damage a group member would otherwise take.Reinforcement (52)Increases the hate position of the guardian for every enemy the guardian successfully attacks.Sentry Watch (55)Allows the guardian to intervene and take the damage that would have otherwise killed an ally in the group for a short duration. This also increases the enemy's hate towards the guardian when this effect triggers.Tower of Stone (5<img src="/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Allows the guardian to use a tower shield to absorb all damage they would have otherwise received if the damage was greater than 10% of their total health for up to 3 hits. Each time this effect is triggered, the shield suffers damage. Upgrades to this ability decrease the amount of damage received by the shield.<hr>Again, anything you notice wrong with that, let me know and I'll fix it. Now that we have the spell lines all listed out, could someone recommend the most important upgrades?Thanks in advance,-Condar Tarsonia

<div></div>Dang Condar, nice post.Heres one i couldn't live with out. It is very similar to yours, except that it groups the skills by thier type. I've found that helps very much in determining upgrade priority as i like to get the best hate gaining abilities first. Check it out.<a target="_blank" href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=3&message.id=16762">http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=3&message.id=16762</a><div></div>Message Edited by Sid_6.7 on 01-07-200601:41 AM
