Leveling guard skill is useless when mnk is fighting anything that matters (i.e., above T).

AFAIK, guard is floored to 5%, and capped skill will not get you above 5% procs on anything above T, certainly not at VT and above, so except for making EP farming easier (on mobs that you will evade or counter anyway) who cares.

Hmm so unless guard is really useful against V-IT mobs and proc frequently depending on skill lvl it's pretty much useless? Now I feel it really is neglected lol. What's the point in having it if it's not useful to begin with?

^ Accurate. Verified by many other monks on multiple forums.

umm i had capped guard at 75 cap >_> i have to completely dissagree with your statement drstrangelove... i used to guard a whole hell of alot more VS VT-IT when over cap >_>

^ Poppycock. Anecdotal claim based on unspecified conditions.

If this is true (it kinda is) then why didn't the developers do anything to make raise within reason? I fight skill worthy stuff hours/days at a time and I'm lucky to get 0.5 skill up. I capped it at 75. Now It's 296 without gear. Go figure.
