seems equal to me.. someone should put a parser of damage-taken over a couple hours of a guardian and a monk both nicely equipped. tomorrow i will find a nice group and parse it for a couple hours.
It's not that easy!Guardian avoids 60%, so 40% of the time he gets hit.Of those 40%, he mitigates 60%, leaving 16% of the mob's raw dps output actually hurting him.A Monk avoids 80%, 20% of the hits get through.40% get mitigated, so only 12% of the mob's damage get through. In theory, we should even be able to tank better than Guardians (with the numbers from the example taken from above, but those are quite correct most of the time).Even better, we don't get stifled/stunned/feared as much as guardians as we aren't hit that much.
