DPS change for Guardians?

RognarrGreystarr · 03-29-2006, 05:39 AM

Did i miss something in the LU21? It seems that as a level 55 guardian loaded up on the legendary player made armor I cant kill a group of 2 45 ^^'s. Was there a roll back of our offensive output or am i missing something. Just seems that for the past week or so more creatures are getting the best of me.

Any ideas?

I'm not 45th yet, my Guardian just new. I played a Monk most the time, so, even though not orthadox(sp?) I play my Guardian when he solos like a Monk. I use Dualies (1 blunt, 1 piercing) and throw on offensive stance and go!! DPS seems fine to me? I can kill Heroics ^^^ 6 levels below me fast, am I missing something?

And I'm a Goodie Ratonga Guardian... Then again this is a lowby toon my Mains TWINKED with user mades, it's "cheap" at low levels. As for T5/T6/T7 armour I have the stacks of 7 each ready to be worked into armour...

As for tanking I have a killer quested shield (For the level), Defensive stance and I use Slashing 1-H weapons.

As for my 67th level Monk I kill 5-6 blue conned monsters per node I need to Harvest (Harvesting hell) and his soloing in KoS is Cake.

I read the subject, thought, "Yes!!! a lucky break for guardians, then read the post and smashed my computer in the wall.

BTW these community comps work very fast :smileyvery-happy:

cant confirm that.

as a lev67 guardian i am able to kill 57^^ heroic mobs faily easily. i do run out of mana, but i´m still in the green hp-bar, and my gear isnt that awesome it could be. just a few t6 fabled, like kiteshield from pp, helmet of goaa, bracer from ancient cyclops

dunno if there is a big difference 55 to 45 in legend gear, cause in that lev i used to fight cyclopses in groups :smileywink:

I haven't seen any differences since the last LU to confirm that. Still bad DPS, but not as horrible as it was...

same here. I upgraded my gear at 51, and saw a GREAT increase with rare weps / armor. But since...nothing. All in all, i'm happy with my output at 51. However, if past tier plateauing occurs, my rare cobalt will not be as effective from 57-60, and i'll be winded after every fight. A slight DPS boost would fix this, but would prolly overcompensate the lower levels of each tier.

dps hasn't canged that i've noticed... i solo the same mobs with about the same amount of HP/mana left... 57-61 were really the worst for guards imo (t6 sucked being capped at 60)... we had gotten alot of our better abilities in the late 40's so they don't get upgraded till t7... once they start to cycle around it'll get better, just sucks for t7 cause both stances, 2 taunts, and HtL are all prior tier now...

We did not change, but if you are in PoF it did. Things are much harder there and one need to be very careful. I have found that several NPC I was killing before update now own me. But they did say some were made harder and more exp would be given. I guess this is for the solo of two group teams. The windsister heals now are healing for twice what they use to I do see that. But everywhere else seems normal or in fact a little easier.
