Question on Guardian Sphere

[Salgo]

<div><p>Was wondering about this last night in a guild XP group.</p><p>A higher level Guard was tanking some orange cons (orange to me anyways) and I couldn't help but think...If I were to throw up Guardian Sphere with the MT still having aggro (ie casters and healers not taking damage) <u>will the damage be reduced through his mitigation or will I basically kill myself? </u></p><p>Now obviously I wouldn't be doing this all the time but lets say the healer was oop or in a smaller group with a Pally and no healer.</p><p><u>I guess I am just wondering how everyone else is resourcefully using this spell</u>. I use it when MT for the stonesking proc (assuming I have aggro under control). I only have Adept 1 atm so I haven't found it as useful when lets say in a multiple mob encounter, 1 peels and goes for the caster as now I am taking basically raw damage and still taking damage from others in mob = quick death with higher con mobs. </p></div>

The more folks that are getting hit, the more it absorbs..  It's been awhile since I have read the description but I think that is accurate.. Anyone feel free to jump in and correct me..</p><p> </p>
