Guardian Shield Tanking

 

 

LET ME JUST SAY TANKING USING IMPERIAL GUARD (GUARDIAN SHIELD) WILL GUARANTEE YOU A SPOT IN ANY PARTY.

Build Objectives:

1. Getting your HP MAXED as max as possible. Guardian Shield gives all party member in vicinity 125% of the Imperial Guard HP. This mean they can run around without getting hurt the more HP you have.
2.  Reach 100% Variable and Fix Cast Reduction. This is important as you want your Guardian Shield among other support skill you have to be instantly available whenever your Guardian Shield Cooldown is out. Plus in a critical moment when the party died, you want to instacast Guardian Shield immediately to protect the whole group.
3. Having to stack STA/RES and WIS/MRES along with Hard Defense as much as possible ideally reaching 500 RES and MRES mean you have 50% reduction to damage.
4. The ability to be a party leader and kite mob in some Purgatory Instances. This is important and need to learn by many Imperial Guard Tank player as it will minimized the risk of people spread out and getting darkness at the same time (I have my own pattern and you can join my purgatory party to see how it suppose to work).
5. Don't even think of doing damage
