Rolling a Guardian: advice - Page 2

I stopped played my 80 Guardian 2.5 years ago - but will see what the toon is like now with the F2P (and yeah I did unlock the gear on him).

Also have a 60 Dirge, a 61 Coercer and a 55 Fury with treasured gear that I played for laughs and giggles.

Still having aggro problems. At level 81, the other day, in full 70-80 Legendary gear with a sword and board, got my aggro ripped by a level 76 mage merc.

To be fair - the swashy merc was pulling aggro on me with Improved Moderation, etc etc on him until I got to 90, and then he didn't. But the way I figure it, if he died, better him than me SMILEY

Now I be using a Inquis merc from Freeport and can clear zones now I couldn't with a DPS merc.

Guardians kick (hind end) right now in pve and in grp pvp (they have always been good in grp pvp) - you were looking at 1 year old threads.

Other 2 posters - add hate adorns to your wrists and gloves for increased hate generation. The mercs are mentored down 90's so if your only wearing legendary they are going to be OP to you.

Remember that Mercs are similar to a 90 player mentored when you're lower than 90, they should be ripping agro, especially the DPSers.

Reading through all these posts (and yes I know some of them are kinda old) makes me a little sad. Maybe a lot of the people who try a guardian, or group with one, get unlucky and get stuck with a bad one (or are bad at playing it).

I take a lot of pride in my guardian, and have built him to be a great tank. My AA's i've gone full defensive. I still seem to hold aggro just fine against our guilds 200k+ dps parsing Beastlord. Groups, or raids, he doesn't take a whole lot of damage, and holds aggro just fine.

Any young guardians out there that care to take a look at my AA set up, please feel free. Although since Skyshrine I do plan on changing my end-line in the heroic tree to Unshakable Grip.

Please feel free to send me any PM's with questions. SMILEY
