From reading the forums, I know I am in the minority, but I like the shield best as an off hand. I run a shouts build and the shield gives me access to an interrupt that also heals/blocks ranged.
It doesn’t do the best damage or give the most blocks, but imo it gives more utility then the torch or focus. 3 effects in 1ability, 2 trigger just by pressing the button and a 3rd that heal and gets pretty good scaling with +healing power. I would argue knocking something down is pretty much the best ability a guardian gets and its on shield 5. For most PvE enemies it wastes the cool down on their ability if you time the interrupt right (not very hard at all since most moves charge up for a second or 2)
At the end of the day if you don’t like it don’t use it.
I run the shouts build 0/0/30/30/10 with mace shield/staff . I played around with runes quite a bit awhile back and found boon duration to be to my liking. Swapping mace/shield/Hammer can give pretty much 100% up time on regen and protection. As it were I cant stand the hammer.
For the healing part with your gear choices, it has been my experience +healing power is all or nothing. I run full cleric’s with the head swapped out for shamans. Gives me ~15K HP-1970toughness. Healing power is something like 1370 and I use a sigil of life on the staff to get the stacks.
I run Dwayna2/Monk2/Water2. From what I can tell Dwayna does not increase regen duration but does change the amount healed on the tool tip. I am also pretty sure boon duration doesn’t correctly affect boons from symbols, though its hard to tell since they are so short.
TLDR; I don’t think you have enough sources of boons without shouts to benefit from Forge/Dwayna on the defensive side. Divinity is also relatively low defense boost. I don’t see anything other than vit/toughness really adding anything for you other than proc effects you really cant count on.
Looking for a mainly PvE guild on pretty much any NA server.
Main focus on dungeon runs. I’m pretty experienced with AC, CM, CoF, TA. I’ve run a few of the others, but I can watch a walk through and get the hang of it pretty quick.
Been playing MMOs since EQ1 would prefer a guild of mainly lvl 80s with voice chat.
Usually play a shouts guardian in mostly clerics gear, but also have 80 engineer grenades glass cannon.
I am not interested in any sort of officer/recruiter position just want to log on and have competent people to play with.
In central time zone usually play nights.
I just got to “Set to Blow”
I don’t know why someone would ask what class you are playing like it would matter. I just quit without finishing a quest for the first time ever. I had 2 trolls, 2 harpies and 3 destroyers plus the queen after I was able to single pull about 3 or 4 out of there. Each one routinely hit me for over 1k on 6k health.
As a guardian I cant even really damage anything in there, and I made a record stay alive 25 seconds just spamming immunities. All NPCs die in 3 hits.
Can’t kite reliably up the ramps. Got a couple to work, the others got maybe a dozen tries before I rage quit.
